“心之所向，则或千或百果然鹤也”这句话出自清代文学家沈复的《浮生六记》，原文是“余忆童稚时，能张目对日，明察秋毫，见藐小之物必细察其纹理，故时有物外之趣。夏蚊成雷，私拟作群鹤舞于空中，心之所向，则或千或百果然鹤也；昂首观之，项为之强。”这段文字描述了作者儿时丰富的想象力和细腻的观察力。

翻译如下：

When my mind is set on something, I can imagine thousands or hundreds of cranes indeed. This vivid imagination often brought me great pleasure during my childhood. For example, when I saw the summer mosquitoes buzzing like thunder, I would imagine them as cranes dancing in the sky. If I focused my thoughts, I could see countless cranes in my mind's eye. Looking up at the sky, I would stare for so long that my neck would stiffen.

这种将平凡事物赋予诗意想象的能力，展现了作者独特的审美情趣和生活态度。他通过简单的自然现象，如蚊子飞舞，就能联想到翩翩起舞的仙鹤，这不仅体现了他对美的追求，也反映了他内心的宁静与满足。
