烛光

"Hope is the thing with feathers,

that perches in the soul,

and sings the tune without words.

And never stops at all,

and sweetest in the gale is heard,

and sore must be the storm,

that could abash the little bird,

that kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,

and on the strangest Sea.

Yet, never in extremity,

it asked a crumb

of Me. "

--- Emily Dickinson

但愿这个圣诞，

为你点燃所期待的希望。

Merry Christmas...
