The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary picture is repeated without end. It is the highest emblem in the cipher of the world. St. Augustine[691] described the nature of God as a circle whose centre was everywhere and its circumference nowhere. We are all our lifetime reading the copious sense of this first of forms. One moral we have already deduced in considering the circular or compensatory character of every human action. Another analogy we shall now trace, that every action admits of being outdone. Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon,[692] and under every deep a lower deep opens.

白话

爱默生说,眼睛画出的第一个圆圈,地平线是第二个,自然界到处重复这个图案。人生就是不断在旧圆圈外画新圆圈,每个终点都是起点,每个深处下面还有更深的深处。这意味着没有什么是最终完成的,我们的行动总可以被超越。所以不要固守已有成就,要不断拓展边界,把每次成功当作下一次探索的起点。

上下文

出自爱默生《随笔集》中《圆圈》一篇,探讨宇宙与人生的无限进展。

你目前的生活中,哪个“圆圈”已经画完,却还没开始画下一个?
