I have forgotten whether the song of the cricket be not as early a token of autumn's approach as any other -- that song which may be called an audible stillness; for though very loud and heard after, yet the mind does not take note of it as a sound, so completely is its individual existence merged among the accompanying characteristics of the season. Alas for the pleasant summer time! In August the grass is still verdant on the hills and in the valleys; the foliage of the trees is as dense as ever, and as green; the flowers gleam forth in richer abundance along the margin of the river, and by the stone walls, and deep among the woods; the days too, are as fervid now as they were a month ago; and yet in every breath of wind and in every beam of sunshine we hear the whispered farewell and behold the parting smile of a dear friend. There is a coolness amid and the heat, a mildness in the blazing noon. Not a breeze can stir but it thrills us with the breath of autumn. A pensive glory is seen in the far golden gleams; among the shadows of the trees. The flowers -- even the brightest of them, and they are the most gorgeous of the year -- have this gentle sadness wedded to their pomp, and typify the character of the delicious time each within itself. The brilliant cardinal flower has never seemed gay to me.

When Disneyland opened in 1955, it proved an instant success. Sixteen years later it spawned a bigger sister the 27,000-acre Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Tokyo Disneyland followed in 1983.

Then it was Europe's turn. After weighing some 200 places across the continent, the company settled on a fantastic site near Paris which the French government was offering. For a bargain price, Disney bought nearly 5,000 acres, 20 miles east of the capital. Final contracts were signed in March 1987, and soon some 10,000 construction workers were digging and building and wiring and painting.

When I visited the site last August, it looked more like a battlefield than an amusement park. How, I wondered, would 150 million cubic feet of churned up earth become, within nine months, a resort containing Sleeping Beauty's castle and 29 other attractions, 360,000 trees and shrubs, 20 bridges, six hotels, five swimming pools, 50 restaurants and snack bars, 100 shops, 1,051 robots and a Mississippi River steamboat?

"They will need a magic wand to finish it on time," said a cynical French friend. But the Disney people have been in the magic wand business for well over half a century.

历史的道路，不全是坦平的，有时走到艰难险阻的境界。这是全靠雄健的精神才能够冲过去的。

一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河，有时流到很宽的境界，平原无际，一泻千里。有时流到很逼狭的境界，两岸丛山叠岭，绝壁断崖，江河流于其间，曲折回环，极其险峻。民族生命的进展，其经历亦复如是。

人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方，有时是坦荡平原，有时是崎岖险路。老于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方，固是高高兴兴地向前走，走到崎岖的境界，越是奇趣横生，觉得在此奇绝壮观的境界，越能感到一种冒险的美趣。

我想起故乡放雏鸭的人了。一大群鹅黄色的雏鸭游牧在溪流间。清浅的水，两岸青青的草，一根长长的竹竿在牧人的手里他的小队伍是多么欢欣地发出啾啁声?又多么驯服地随着他的竿头越讨一个田野又一个山坡!夜来了，帐幕似的竹篷撑在地上，就是他的家。但这是怎样辽远的想象啊!在这多尘土的国度里，我仅只希望听见一点树叶上的雨声。

Bingley was punctual to his appointment; and he and Mr. Bennet spent the morning together, as had been agreed on. The latter was much more agreeable than his companion expected. There was nothing of presumption or folly in Bingley that could provoke his ridicule, or disgust him into silence; and he was more communicative, and less eccentric, than the other bad ever seen him. Elizabeth, who had a letter to write, went into the breakfast room for that purpose soon after tea.

But on returning to the drawing room, when her letter was finished, she saw, to her infinite surprise, there was reason to fear that her mother had been too ingenious for her. On opening the door, she perceived her sister and Bingley standing together over the hearth, as if engaged in earnest conversation; and had this led to no suspicion, the faces of both, as they hastily turned round and moved away from each other, would have told it all. Their situation was awkward enough; but hers she thought was still worse. Not a syllable was uttered by either; and Elizabeth was on the point of going away again, when Bingley suddenly rose and, whispering a few words to her sister, ran out of the room.

Jane could have no reserves from Elizabeth, where confidence would give pleasure; and instantly embracing her, she acknowledged, with the liveliest emotion, that she was the happiest creature in the world.
