Ah, I hug this pride in the secret of my heart.

可是在我的心里，我把这些当作我的骄傲。

Was not the secret told me, in the natural recoil of my heart, at the first sight of him, and as often as I have seen him since?

从我第一眼看到他起，直到后来每次见到他，我的心都会退缩，这难道不是向我泄露了秘密吗？

It was my songs that taught me all the lessons I ever learnt; they showed me secret paths, they brought before my sight many a star on the horizon of my heart.

我所学过的功课，都是诗歌教给我的；它们把捷径指示给我，它们把我心里地平线上的许多星辰，带到我的眼前。

youdao

Whilst I believe that principle from the bottom of my heart, I have to admit I still harboured for many years a secret disdain for awards (and the self-congratulatory hubris that surrounds them).
