| 词源 | all’s right with the world! This saying is frequently misquot- ed as “all’s well with the world.” The words are from Robert Browning’s dramatic poem “Pippa Passes” (1841) and is one of the songs of Pippa, a young girl who passes through town on her yearly holiday. Unknown to her, each of her songs affects and changes the lives of people who hear them, the best-known one filling a murderer with remorse for what he has done: The year’s at the spring, And day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hill-side’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn: God’s in his heaven— All’s right with the world! |
