For he saith, `I have seen the ungodly in great power, and exalted like the cedars of Libanus: and I went by and lo, he was gone: and I sought him but his place could nowhere be found.'英文原著 · 《Barlaam and Ioasaph》
Sorry, I just can't get it off my mind. I keep thinking, "Why all this ungodly fuss?" "Susan's not in this for money and heirlooms." Thank you! I don't want your family stuff.美剧 · 《Desperate Housewives》
