纪伯伦散文-流浪者圆月
圆月光华灿烂地在城镇上空升起来了，城镇里所有的狗儿都开始吠叫起来了。
只有一只狗不吠不叫，它用庄严的声调对其余的狗儿说道："别吵得寂静从睡眠中醒来，也别用你们的吠声把月亮唤到大地上来。"
于是所有的狗儿都肃静无声，停止吠叫了。但，那只叫大家不要吠叫的狗儿，却因寂静而彻夜吠叫。
The Full Moon
The full moon rose in glory upon the town, and all the dogs of that town began to bark at the moon.
Only one dog did not bark, and he said to them in a grave voice, "Awake not stillness from her sleep, nor bring you the moon to the earth with your barking."
Then all the dogs ceased barking, in awful silence. But the dog who had spoken to them continued barking for silence, the rest of the night.
