A little tired, perhaps. But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was, to a small degree, my success. Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe, Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now. These autumn days will shorten and grow cold. The leaves will shake loose from the trees and fall. Christmas will come, then the snows of winter. You will live to enjoy the beauty of the frozen world, for you mean a great deal to Zuckerman and he will not harm you, ever. Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. Then song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy. Wilbur--this lovely world, these golden days... (查看原文)
I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway. We born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. (查看原文)

1. When your stomach is empty and your mind is full, it's always hard to sleep.
2. The quickest way to spoil a friendship is to wake somebody up in the morning before he is ready.

Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch.
As time went on, and the months and years came and went, he was never without friends.
Life in the barn was very good - night and day, winter and summer, spring and fall, dull days and bright days. It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of the sheep, the love of sipders, the smell of manure, and the glory of evertything.
Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone come... (查看原文)
是的,所有的人都在狂奔。狂奔的途中一切都变得模糊和渺小——因为什么都被遗忘,或者说被遗弃了,何况是普普通通的树?
人类追求的的多是这种成功,这种站在展览会大看台上的成功。但等到展览会过去了,这一切都将被无情的遗忘。
当你的肚子是空的,可脑子里却满是心事的时候,总是很难入睡的。
