Infant Joy

春节真是一个百无聊赖的节日,似乎前前后后的一个月都不在状态。节后的北京干燥寒冷,天空终于放晴。亮马河上已经结了厚厚的一层冰,记得放假前去河边散步,有人滑冰、钓鱼、冬泳,好不热闹。

A poem to my cousin who just gave birth to a boy

Infant Joy
By William Blake

"I have no name;
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!

Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!

PS: Technically I launched this blog in Feb 2007. So happy 5th year birthday!
