He had to go up to Town that morning on Forsyte affairs, and was fully conscious of Gradman's glance sidelong over his spectacles. The old clerk had about him an aura of regretful congratulation. He smelled, as it were, of old days. One could almost hear him thinking: "Mr. Jolyon, ye-es--just my age, and gone--dear, dear! I dare say she feels it. She was a mice-lookin' woman. Flesh is flesh!英文原著 · 《Awakening & To Let》
The dignity or authority of men means nothing to God. The fact is that God often rejects just such who stand in the odor of sanctity and in the aura of importance. In doing so God seems unjust and harsh. But men need deterring examples. For it is a vice with us to esteem personality more highly than the Word of God. God wants us to exalt His Word and not men. There must be people in high office, of course. But we are not to deify them.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
En puer Idalius tremulis circumvolat alis, Quem prope sedentem<4.1> castior<4.2> uret amor. Lampada sic videas circumvolitare Pyrausta,<4.3> Cui contingenti est flamma futura rogus.

"Near the stream a man was standing; he was an ordinary man, and yet he seemed to tower above the landscape without being unusually tall; his hair was bright as gold, and his eyes, more lustrous still, reflected the silvery blue sky and shone like opals. In his hands he held a golden lyre, and around him a warm golden cloud seemed to rise, on a transparent aura of light, like the glow of the sunset. In front of him there stood a creature of the woods, a satyr, with pointed ears, cloven hoofs, and human eyes, in his hairy hands holding a flute made out of a reed.英文原著 · 《Orpheus in Mayfair and Other》
And after having instructed them, he baptized them with salt and water. The islands of Morbihan were more numerous in those times than they are to-day. For since then many have been swallowed up by the sea. Mael evangelized sixty of them. Then in his granite trough he ascended the river Auray. And after sailing for three hours he landed before a Roman house. A thin column of smoke went up from the roof. The holy man crossed the threshold on which there was a mosaic representing a dog with its hind legs outstretched and its lips drawn back.英文原著 · 《Penguin Island》
