INTRODUCTION

I took a walk on Spaulding's Farm the other afternoon. I saw the setting sun lighting up the opposite side of a stately pine wood. Its golden rays straggled into the aisles of the wood as into some noble hall. I was impressed as if some ancient and altogether admirable and shining family had settled there in that part of the land called Concord, unknown to me,—to whom the sun was servant,—who had not gone into society in the village,—who had not been called on. I saw their park, their pleasure-ground, beyond through the wood, in Spaulding's cranberry-meadow. The pines furnished them with gables as they grew. Their house was not obvious to vision; their trees grew through it. I do not know whether I heard the sounds of a suppressed hilarity or not. They seemed to recline on the sunbeams. They have sons and daughters. They are quite well. The farmer's cart-path, which leads directly through their hall, does not in the least put them out,—as the muddy bottom of a pool is sometimes seen through the reflected skies. They never heard of Spaulding, and do not know that he is their neighbor,—notwithstanding I heard him whistle as he drove his team through the house. Nothing can equal the serenity of their lives. Their coat of arms is simply a lichen. I saw it painted on the pines and oaks. Their attics were in the tops of the trees. They are of no politics. There was no noise of labor. I did not perceive that they were weaving or spinning. Yet I did detect, when the wind lulled and hearing was done away, the finest imaginable sweet musical hum,—as of a distant hive in May, which perchance was the sound of their thinking. They had no idle thoughts, and no one without could see their work, for their industry was not as in knots and excrescences embayed.

But I find it difficult to remember them. They fade irrevocably out of my mind even now while I speak and endeavor to recall them, and recollect myself. It is only after a long and serious effort to recollect my best thoughts that I become again aware of their cohabitancy. If it were not for such families as this, I think I should move out of Concord.

I took a walk on Spaulding's Farm the other afternoon. Am făcut o plimbare la ferma Spaulding în după-amiaza zilei trecute. 前几天下午我在斯波尔丁农场散步。那天下午我在斯波爾丁農場散步。 I saw the setting sun lighting up the opposite side of a stately pine wood. |saw||going down|sun|lighting|up||facing other side|side|of||majestic|tall evergreen tree|forest |||pôr do sol|||||||||imponente|pinhal majestoso| Ich sah, wie die untergehende Sonne die gegenüberliegende Seite eines stattlichen Kiefernwaldes beleuchtete. Am văzut soarele care apunea luminând partea opusă a unei păduri de pini impunătoare. 我看到落日的余晖照亮了对面一片庄严的松树林。我看到夕陽照亮了雄偉松樹林的另一邊。 Its golden rays straggled into the aisles of the wood as into some noble hall. ||光线|||||||||||| its|radiant, sunlit, glowing|beams of light|scattered, spread, filtered|into||aisles||||as||some|noble|hall ||||||прогалини|||||||| ||raios|se espalhavam|||os corredores|||||||nobre salão| Razele sale aurii se împrăștiau pe culoarele pădurii ca într-o sală nobilă. 它的金色光线像进入某个高贵的大厅一样，洒入林间小道。它金色的光芒灑落在樹林的走道上，就像灑進某個高貴的大廳。 I was impressed as if some ancient and altogether admirable and shining family had settled there in that part of the land called Concord, unknown to me,—to whom the sun was servant,—who had not gone into society in the village,—who had not been called on. |was|deeply moved||as if||old and revered||altogether|worthy of respect|and|shining|family|had|settled|there|in|that|part|||land|called|Harmony town|unknown|to|me||whom||||subordinate to|who||not|gone||society|||village||||been|| |||||||||||ilustre|||estabelecido||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Am fost impresionat ca și cum o familie străveche și cu totul admirabilă și strălucitoare s-ar fi stabilit acolo, în acea parte de țară numită Concord, necunoscută mie, - pentru care soarele era servitor, - care nu intrase în societate în sat, - care nu fusese chemată. I saw their park, their pleasure-ground, beyond through the wood, in Spaulding's cranberry-meadow. ||their|park||pleasure|ground|further|through||||Spaulding's meadow|wetland with cranberries|meadow Am văzut parcul lor, terenul lor de agrement, dincolo de pădure, pe pajiștea de merișoare a lui Spaulding.
