“After about three times I thought, ‘This has probably run its course,’” Hisaishi recalled. “I didn’t send one the following year. That whole year I wasn’t able to work very well.

History of England (1926)

G. M. Trevelyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Macaulay Trevelyan, OM, CBE, FRS, FBA (16 February 1876 [1] – 21 July 1962[2]), was a British historian. Trevelyan was the third son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose staunch liberal Whig principles he espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis, that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career.[3] The noted historian E. H. Carr considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the Whig tradition.[4]

  1. 你給勞狄刻雅教會的天使寫:「那做『阿們』,做忠信而真實見證的,做天主創造萬物根源的這樣說:
  2. 我知道你的作為:你也不冷,也不熱;巴不得你或冷或熱!
  3. 但是,你既然是溫的,也不冷,也不熱,我必要從我口中把你吐出來。
  4. 你說:我是富有的,我發了財,什麼也不缺少;殊不知你是不幸的,可憐的,貧窮的,瞎眼的,赤身裸體的。
  5. 我給你出個主意:你要向我買用火煉好的黃金,為使你富有,也買件白衣穿上,為不顯露你裸體的羞恥,又買點眼藥,抹在你的眼上,為使你能看見。
  6. 凡我所疼愛的人,我要譴責他,管教他;所以你應當發奮熱心,痛悔改過!
  7. 看,我立在門口敲門,誰若聽見我的聲音而給我開門,我要進到他那裏,同他坐席,他也要同我一起坐席。
  8. 勝利的,我要賜他同我坐在我的寶座上,就如我得勝了,同我的父坐在他的寶座上一樣。
  9. 有耳朵的,應聽聖神向各教會說的話。」
