They buried the stranger at the dusk. - THE DISTINGUISHED STRANGER. ONCE upon a time there came to this earth a visitor from a neighbouring planet. And he was met at the place of his descent by a great philosopher, who was to show him everything. First of all they came through a wood, and the stranger looked upon the trees. "Whom have we here?" said he. "These are only vegetables," said the philosopher. "They are alive, but not at all interesting."

At that moment in the next room a child began to cry; probably it had fallen down.英文原著 · 《ANNA KARENINA》

Just to show you, let me state the one invariable process in a black man's brain when, on his native heath, he encounters a stranger. His first thought is one of fear. Will the stranger kill him? His next thought, seeing that he is not killed, is: Can he kill the stranger? There was Packard, a Colonial trader, some twelve miles down the coast. He boasted that he ruled by kindness and never struck a blow. The result was that he did not rule at all.英文原著 · 《Adventure》

And what so very strange too--In that world Where place as well as people all was strange, Ev'n I almost as strange unto myself, You only, you, Clotaldo--you, as much And palpably yourself as now you are, Came in this very garb you ever wore, By such a token of the past, you said, To assure me of that seeming present.英文原著 · 《Life Is A Dream》
