文章出苦心，誰以苦心為？
正有苦心人，舉世幾人知？
工文與工詩，大似國手碁。
國手雖漫應，一著存一機。
不從著著看，何異管中窺？
文須字字作，亦要字字讀。
咀嚼有余味，百過良未足。
功夫到方圓，言語通眷屬。
只許曠與夔，聞弦知雅曲。
今人誦文字，十行誇一目。
閼顫失香臭，瞀視紛紅綠。
豪厘不相照，覿面楚與蜀。
莫訝荊山前，時聞刖人哭。

A text has to be written character by character;
It should be read character by character.
Mulling over places where there is an aftertaste,
A hundred reading will not suffice.
If, by effort, one achieve full comprehension,
Its language will become like next-of-kin.
Caldy Close
羅彥傑
A serial cat killer in South Wales appears to have struck again just a few miles from where eight pets mysteriously died in the summer.
南威爾斯一名連續殺貓犯，似乎再次犯案，且地點距離今夏8隻貓神秘死亡處僅數英里遠。
This time four cats are suspected to have been killed after drinking poisonous anti-freeze left out for them in Caldy Close, Barry, according to The Sun.
這次有4隻貓疑似在巴里市加爾地街喝了留給牠們的有毒防凍劑後遇害，根據太陽報報導。

Close, but no cigar
Meaning
Fall just short of a successful outcome and get nothing for your efforts.
Origin
The phrase, and its variant 'nice try, but no cigar', are of US origin and date from the mid-20th century. Fairground stalls gave out cigars as prizes, and this is the most likely source, although there's no definitive evidence to prove that.
It is first recorded in print in Sayre and Twist's publishing of the script of the 1935 film version of Annie Oakley:
"Close, Colonel, but no cigar!"
It appears in U. S. newspapers widely from around 1949 onwards; for example, a story from The Lima News, Lima, Ohio, November 1949, where The Lima House Cigar and Sporting Goods Store narrowly avoided being burned down in a fire, was titled 'Close But No Cigar'.
