好多都已经忘了

米尔顿的这段话

却始终刻在心里

Assuredly we bring not innocence into the world,

we bring impurity much rather:

that which purifies us is triall, and triall is by what is contrary.

That vertue therefore which is but a youngling in the contemplation of evill,

and knows not the utmost that vice promises to her followers, and rejects it,

is but a blank vertue, not a pure.

--John Milton
