1. There are too many cries in this world, and you won’t understand. Yeats "The Stolen Child"

2. Life and death, a cold glance. Travelers, hurry up. Yeats

3. A big trouble for human beings is that we cannot have consistent feelings. There is always something we like about our enemies, and there is always something we dislike about our lovers. It’s this tangle of emotions that age us, frown and deepen the wrinkles around our eyes. If we could love or hate with all our hearts like the immortals, we might be able to live forever like them. Until that day comes, though, their undying joy and sorrow are largely part of their charm. Their love never tires, and the cycle of stars never slows down their dance. Yeats "Celtic Twilight"

4. cast a cold eye, on life, on death, horseman, pass by. A cold glance, life and death, the rider and On the way. (More direct translation: cast a cold eye, look at life and death; knight, move forward.) William Butler Yeats

5. I prefer listening to theories The sound of the ivory door turning on its hinges also makes it believed that only those who pass through the rose-strewn threshold can glimpse the faint light of the horn door in the distance. Perhaps it would be best for us if we could put aside our own thoughts and simply make the call that astrologer Lilly made in Windsor Forest - Queen, Queen of the Fairies, come. We should also remember, as he did, that God visits his children in dreams. Tall queen with shimmering body, come closer; let me take another look at your thick and beautiful black hair. Yeats "Celtic Twilight"

When I was a child, every time I walked in the woods, I would feel like someone or something I had longed for, but didn't know why, would appear at any moment. ...Beauty must be an outlet from the web into which we are born, otherwise it ceases to be beautiful. And, if this were not the case, we would probably rather sit by the fire at home and let our lazy bodies get tired.Getting fatter; or preferring to devote yourself to some stupid enterprise and running around in a hurry, forgetting to appreciate the wonderful show of light and shadow played among the green leaves. Yeats "Celtic Twilight"

9. I loved you the old way. Yeats

20. When I broke away from the clutter of arguments, I told myself that immortals do indeed exist. , only those of us who lack simplicity of heart and wisdom can deny this. Simple-minded and wise men throughout the ages have seen them and even talked with them. Just as I think, they are not far away from us, living a passionate life. As long as we keep our pure nature without losing our passion, we can join them after death. I hope death connects us to all legends; I hope one day in the future, we can fight the dragon in the dark green mountains, or realize that all legends are actually a mixture of the sins of human beings in more magnificent days.

White Bird

Dear, I wish we were a pair of white birds on the crest of the waves!

The meteor has not yet died, and we are tired of its shining;

The blue star hangs low in the morning light. The dim light of the stars

awakens a ray of immortal sadness in our hearts.

A hint of sleepiness escapes from the dream of dewy lilies and roses;

Oh, dear, don’t dream about that The shining of shooting stars,

Don’t dream of the dim light of blue stars lingering in the dew:

I wish we Turn into a white bird on the wave: you and me!

My mind wanders to the countless islands and the shores of Dannan Lake,

Where time will forget us and sorrow will never come again ;

TransferIn an instant we will be far away from the erosion of roses, lilies and starlight,

As long as we are two white birds, my dear, haunting the waves!

Translated by Fu Hao

The poem he gave to his lover

Use a golden hair pin to tie your hair tightly,

Gently tie up each loose strand of hair,

I command my heart to shape these poor rhymes:

Day after day, my heart works endlessly on the rhymes,

From the battles of the past

Create a sad purity.

You only need to raise a pearly white hand,

Tie your long hair , sighing long;

All men’s hearts must burn and beat violently;

On the dark beach , the bubbles are like candles

The stars climb into the night sky, and the dewdrops fall lightly from the night sky,

The stars are bright, just for Light up your delicate feet.

Sailing to Byzantium

That’s not A country of old people. The young

are embracing each other; the dying generation,

The birds in the trees are engaged in their singing;

A waterfall of fish, a sea filled with mackerel,

Fish, beast or bird, praise all summer< /p>

All that is born and dies.

Indulging in the music of the senses, everyone neglects the eternal monument of reason.

A decadent old man is just a waste,

A shabby coat propped on a stick,

Unless the soul claps its hands and sings, for its

every crack in its skin sings louder;

But there is no school to teach singing, but only

Study its glory recorded on the monument,

p>

So I crossed the ocean and came to

The sacred castle of Byzantium.

O wise men! Standing in the divine fire of God,

It is like a sculpture inlaid with gold on a mural,

Come out of the divine fire , spinning in the air,

Please be the singing teacher for my soul.

Burn my heart, it's tied to a

dying body, corrupted by desire,

I no longer know what it originally was; please collect me into the eternal artistic arrangement as soon as possible

Once separated from nature, I no longer take my shape from

any natural object,

< p>

As long as the Greek goldsmiths used gold glaze

and hammered gold to make patterns,

< /p>

To keep the sleepy emperor awake;

Or to sing on a golden branch

Everything Things past, present and future

To the nobles and ladies of Byzantium.

How are the constellations arranged in the twelve months of the year

Constellation, Latin The name is CONSTELLATION, which refers to a group of stars in the sky that are closely positioned and projected on the celestial sphere. The English word is "Constellation", which means "constellation" and "constellation";

The constellation referred to in astrology means "mark", "mark" and "symbol". Different civilizations and historical periods may divide the constellations differently. Most modern constellations evolved from the traditional ancient Greek constellations. The International Astronomical Union accurately divided the entire sky into 88 constellations..

Extended information:

< p>Origin in ancient times:

Western constellations originated in ancient Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. It is said that there are more than 20 constellation names in total for the so-called 12 constellations of the zodiac, and it is said that Mesopotamia was born about 5,000 years ago. After this, the ancient Babylonians continued to divide the sky into many areas and come up with new constellations.

30 constellations were proposed around 1000 BC. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellations and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy compiled 48 constellations based on the astronomical achievements of the time.

And use imaginary lines to connect the main bright stars in the constellation, imagine them as animals or characters, and give them appropriate names based on myths and stories. This is the origin of the name of the constellation. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.

Baidu Encyclopedia - Constellations

The 12 constellations on the zodiac were originally used to measure time, rather than representing people's personalities as they are now. Around 1000 BC, 30 constellations were proposed.

Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellations and compiled the Ancient Greek Constellation Table. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy compiled 48 constellations based on the astronomical achievements of the time. And use imaginary lines to connect the main bright stars in the constellation, imagine them as animals or characters, and give them appropriate names based on myths and stories. This is the origin of the name of the constellation. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.

In 1922, the International Astronomical Union General Assembly decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names were basically based on historical names. In 1928, the International Astronomical Union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and 12 near the celestial equator and ecliptic.

There is no specific explanation of how to arrange them. Some are arranged by month, such as the famous twelve golden constellations, and there are also eighty-eight constellations arranged according to size, and others

Constellations in astrology

As in Some ethnic groups in East Asia define a person's zodiac sign according to the animal represented by the year of birth. In many countries, a person's birth month corresponds to the zodiac sign.

Birthday horoscope originates from astrology, which attempts to use a person’s place of birth, time of birth and the position of celestial bodies to explain a person’s character and destiny.

The correspondence between birth month and sun sign is as follows,Since the orbits of celestial bodies are different from those of the Gregorian calendar, there will be a difference of 1-2 days in different years, which is consistent with the distance between each "section" of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. The calculation of solar term time is accurate to the minute (not sub-hour) Beginning) is also the boundary of the zodiac sign, which varies every year.
