As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.

  • -- T. S. Eliot T.S.艾略特

诗歌不是一种职业，而是一种徒劳无益的游戏。没有一个诚实的诗人能对他所写的东西的永久价值有十足的把握:他可能白白浪费了时间，把生活搞得一团糟。
