爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

During the years which intervened until his passing away, Bok sought to keep in touch with Father Kipling, and received the most wonderful letters from him. One day he enclosed in a letter a drawing which he had made showing Sakia Muni sitting under the bo-tree with two of his disciples, a young man and a young woman, gathered at his feet. It was a piece of exquisite drawing. "I like to think of you and your work in this way," wrote Mr. Kipling, "and so I sketched it for you." Bok had the sketch enlarged, engaged John La Farge to translate it into glass, and inserted it in a window in the living-room of his home at Merion.

白话

博克一直和吉卜林的父亲保持联系,收到许多精彩来信。有一次他寄去一幅自己画的素描,画的是佛陀在菩提树下,身边围着一男一女两个弟子。吉卜林回信说喜欢这样理解博克和他的工作,并为他画了这幅画。博克把画放大,请约翰·拉法奇做成玻璃窗,嵌在自家客厅。这说明:真诚的私人情谊往往通过具体行动表达,而不是空话。你可以把别人送你的小画、小物件做成日常可见的纪念,让关系有落脚处。
