Pei-ling (陳培玲), a student in Class 310 was the first one to recite to me the whole poem "The Road Not Taken." To my surprise, she later even memorized Hemingway's "True Nobility." Today, after reciting it to me, she asked me to give her another great article. I first thought of "General MacArthur's Prayer for His Son." Pei-ling is a science major, but it seems that she has been much engrossed in English recently.
Yesterday when she told me the sentences she loved in "True Nobility:"
"Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and
blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving."
I was touched, touched by her being moved by words. Oh, the power of words!
