He will better upon himself a little day by day; or even if he has given up the attempt, he will always remember that once upon a time he had conceived this high ideal, that once upon a time he had fallen in love with a star.
他会日复一日地进步一点;即使放弃了努力,也会永远记得,自己曾怀抱过这样的崇高理想,曾爱上过一颗星辰。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · An Inland Voyage · Précy and the Marionnettes —
