Don Juan: CANTO THE TENTH

LXXIX

Alas, how deeply painful is all payment!

Take lives, take wives, take aught except men's purses:

As Machiavel shows those in purple raiment,

Such is the shortest way to general curses.

They hate a murderer much less than a claimant

On that sweet ore which every body nurses; --

Kill a man's family, and he may brook it,

But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.

唉呀! 凡是付款全都令人心痛!
性命、老婆  什麼都可以任人拿
除了錢袋， Machiavel 對王侯說
這種事最會引起普遍的咒罵

"Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death."
--from MOBY-DICK by Herman Melville
「老年人總是保持清醒；彷彿與生命相連的時間越長，就越不需要面對任何看起來像死亡的事情。”

"Dear Heart, Why Will You Use Me So?" by James Joyce

Dear heart, why will you use me so?
Dear eyes that gently me upbraid,
Still are you beautiful -- - but O, 
How is your beauty raimented!

Ada Byron Lovelace

Is Ada the name of the first computer language? It's true that many people consider the first computer program to have been written by Ada Byron Lovelace. Ada — a high-level Pascal-based programming language is named for her. The first scientific programming languages were written in the 1950s; IBM's FORTRAN was the first major scientific computer language, and is still used in some programs today. Ada Lovelace, daughter of the poet Lord Byron, loved mathematics. Her translation of and accompanying notations to an article about Charles Babbage's analytical engine have been called the first computer program. Lovelace broke ground as a woman in a mostly man's world of math and science. In her honor, March 24 is known as Ada Lovelace Day, an international day of blogging to recognize the achievements of females in technology and science. Both men and women should feature women and their accomplishments in a blog post today!

Quote:

"The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves." — Ada Lovelace, in her notes on Menabrae's Memoir on the Analytic Engine
