晨读英文经典诗歌：Hero-Worship
8 T. X( X; {, ^# G
4 P# `& o9 A9 W- L　　A face seen passing in a crowded street,
　　A voice heard singing music, large and free;
　　And from that moment life is changed, and we
　　Become of more heroic temper, meet
  U( `: R  G" l3 u0 q　　To freely ask and give, a man complete
　　Radiant because of faith, we dare to be
　　What Nature meant us. Brave idolatry
　　Which can conceive a hero! No deceit,

2 D' J: e2 y2 b3 c　　Can quench this fierce, untamable desire.
! t/ R4 u! N5 `/ I9 V- V　　We know that what we long for once achieved
　　Will cease to satisfy. Be still our fears;
　　If what we worship fail us, still the fire
　　Burns on, and it is much to have believed.
