Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.

  • -- Carl Sandburg 卡尔·桑德伯格

诗歌是生活在陆地上的海洋动物想要在空中飞翔的日记。诗歌是对音节的探索,旨在冲破未知和不可知的障碍。诗歌是一种虚幻的剧本,讲述彩虹是如何形成的,为什么会消失。
