球状闪电

我的犁被敌人铸成了剑，刺穿了祖国的海防线。

资治通鉴

绍军至延津南，操勒兵驻营南阪下，使登垒望之，曰：“可五六百骑。”有顷，复曰：“骑稍多，步兵不可胜数。”操曰：“勿复曰。”令骑解鞍放马。是时，白马辎重就道。诸将以为敌骑多，不如还保营。荀攸曰：“此所以而敌，如何去之！”操顾攸而笑。绍骑将文丑与刘备将五六千骑前后至。诸将复曰：“可上马。”操曰：“未也。”有顷，骑至稍多，或分趣辎重。操曰：“可矣。”乃皆上马。时骑不满六百，遂纵兵击，大破之，斩丑。丑与颜良，皆绍名将也，再战，悉禽之，绍军夺气。

羞耻

The air there is full of unasked questions. But their smell is faint, and the flowers in the many maturing gardens, the trees lining the avenues, the perfumes worn by the beautiful soignee ladies of the neighbourhood quite overpower this other, too-abstract odour.You can get anywhere in Pakistan if you know people, even into jail.Shame is like everything else; live with it for long enough and it becomes part of the furniture.Shame: a short word, but one containing encyclopaedias of nuance. It was not only shame that his mothers forbade him to feel, but also embarrassment, discomfiture, decency, modesty, shyness, the sense of having an ordained place in the world, and other dialects of emotion for which English has no counterparts.
