Đạo học làm việc lớn là ở chỗ làm rạng tỏ cái đức sáng của mình, thương yêu người dân, đạt tới chỗ chí thiện. Đại học chi đạo, tại Minh Minh Đức, tại Tân Dân, tại chỉ ư Chí Thiện. 大學之道,在明明德,在親民,在止於至善。

Star of the Nativity, Joseph Brodsky



In the cold season, in a locality accustomed to heat more than
to cold, to horizontality more than to a mountain,
a child was born in a cave in order to save the world;
it blew as only in deserts in winter it blows, athwart. 
 
To Him, all things seemed enormous: His mother's breast, the steam
out of the ox's nostrils, Caspar, Balthazar, Melchior-the team
of Magi, their presents heaped by the door, ajar.
He was but a dot, and a dot was the star. 
 
Keenly, without blinking, through pallid, stray
clouds, upon the child in the manger, from far away-
from the depth of the universe, from its opposite end-
the star was looking into the cave. And that was the Father's stare.
