I have not loved the world, nor the world me; I have not flatter'd its rank breath, nor bow'd To its idolatries a patient knee.

I have not loved the world, nor the world me; I have not flatter'd its rank breath, nor bow'd To its idolatries a patient knee.

我未曾爱过世界，世界也未曾爱过我。我没有奉承它那恶臭的气息，也没有向它那偶像般的崇拜屈膝。

-- Lord Byron 拜伦勋爵
