The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
more!

Сейчас читаю The Friendship book of Francis Gray, которая является прототипом дневника - в ней есть разные заметки на каждый день и присутствует изобилие стихов. Поэтому, я думаю, что запомнившиеся я смогу выкладывать здесь, к тому же это отличный способ подучить новые слова. Вот небольшой стишок, заставивший меня улыбнуться:

 Enjoy your age before it's past;
 Don't try to be eighteen so fast.
 You're only fourteen once, my dears,
 But you'll be thirty-five for years.

 Don't be so angry with me. I'm not an English poet, I'm just learning to be)))

Several lines about my favourite season...


Autumn Princess comes with the tears in her eyes
Rainfalls remember that Earth from the very beginning of time
Princess wishes she could meet a lambent sunrise
Without her mornings of sad senseless rhymes

 Live in active voice, not the passive.
Think more about what you make happen than what happens to you.

Live in the indicative mood rather than subjective.
Be concerned with things as they are rather than as they might be.

Live in the present tense facing the duty at hand.
Without regret for the past or worry for the future.

Live in the first person, 
criticising yourself rather than finding fault with others.

Live in singular number, 
caring more for the approval of your own conscience than for the applause of the crowd.

And if you want a verb to conjugate, 
you cannot do better than to take a verb “to love”. (c)

I want to make some pain,
Example,section my vein.
I have a fear in my soul,
So today you growl.
My injections are bad,
I'm sitting on my own bed.
I have imagination
About this stupid action,
I'm crying for you.
And for me it isn't new.
I throw away my own life.
You don't aviable my tears,
I can't feel some fears.
So God tekes pain away,
It will be nice and okey.

I saw your face today, in the face of a stranger
But when I looked again, you were not there anymore

I heard your voice today, in the middle of a crowd
I turned arround to listen, but did not hear a sound

I felt your touch today, in the blowing wind
I clung to that moment, held it to its end

I cried over you today, drowned in my own sorrow
Then I came to realize, there is always a tomorrow. (c)

 Greatness comes not when things always go good for you.
But the greatness comes when you’re really tested,
when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes.

Because only if you’ve been in the deepest valley
you can know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
