The Chorus Line: A Rope-Jumping Rhyme

we are the maids

the ones you killed

the ones you failed

we danced in air

our bare feet twitched

it was not fair

with every goddess, queen, and bitch

from there to here

you scratched your itch

we did much less

than what you did

you judged us bad

you had the spear

you had the word

at your command

we scrubbed the blood

of our dead

paramours from floors, from chairs

from stairs, from doors,

we knelt in water

while you stared

at our bare feet

it was not fair

you licked our fear

it gave you pleasure

you raised your hand

you watched us fall

we danced on air

the ones you failed

the ones you killed

    Cranford(III)克兰福德(英文版)

    A rich and illuminating portrait of life in a small town, Cranford has moved and entertained readers for generations. The women of the small country town of Cranford live in genteel poverty, resolutely refusing to embrace change, while the dark clouds of urbanisation and the advance of the railway hover threateningly on the horizon. In their simple, well-ordered lives they face emotional dilemmas and upheavals, small in the scale of the ever-shifting world, but affectionately portrayed by Elizabeth Gaskell with all the weight and consequence of a grand drama.
  • The Rise and Fall of the Gallivanters

    The Rise and Fall of the Gallivanters

    In Portland in 1983, girls are disappearing. Noah, a teen punk with a dark past, becomes obsessed with finding out where they've gone —and he's convinced their disappearance has something to do with the creepy German owners of a local brewery, the PfefferBrau Haus. Noah worries about the missing girls as a way of avoiding the fact that something's seriously wrong with his best friend, Evan. Could it be the same dark force that's pulling them all down? When the PfefferBrau Haus opens its doors for a battle of the bands, Noah pulls his band, the Gallivanters, back together in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. But there's a new addition to the band: an enigmatic David Bowie look-alike named Ziggy. And secrets other than where the bodies are buried will be revealed. From Edgar-nominated author M. J. Beaufrand, this is a story that gets to the heart of grief and loss while also being hilarious, fast paced, and heartbreaking.

  • 尚书(中华国学经典精粹)

    尚书(中华国学经典精粹)

    《尚书》是上古历史文件和部分追述古代事迹著作的汇编,其中保存了大量极为珍贵的先秦思想、政治、文化等方面的历史资料,战国时总称为《书》,直到西汉时期才改称为《尚书》。《尚书》相传由孔子编撰而成,但有些篇是后来儒家补充进去的。《尚书》一直被视为中国封建社会的政治哲学经典,既是帝王的教科书,又是贵族子弟及士大夫必遵的“大经大法”,在历史上具有较为深远的影响。
