Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

  • -- A. R. Ammons 安蒙斯

即使你每次都走完全相同的路线——就像一首十四行诗一样——沿途发生的事情也不可能日复一日地一成不变,因为诗人的健康、视力、预期、情绪、恐惧和思想也不可能一成不变。
