How many a poor immortal soul have i met well - nigh crushed and smothered under its load , creeping down the road of life , pushing before it a barn seventy - five feet by forty , its augean stables never cleansed , and one hundred acres of land , tillage , mowing , pasture , and woodlot 我曾遇見過多少個可憐的、永生的靈魂啊,幾乎被壓死在生命的負擔下面,他們無法呼吸,他們在生命道上爬動,推動他們前面的一個七十五英尺長,四十英尺寬的大谷倉,一個從未打掃過的奧吉亞斯的牛圈,還要推動上百英畝土地,鋤地、芟草,還要放牧和護林!
