I still have a feeling that I haven't written the best that I can write. I think all poets must feel this: that there is constantly something new to be discovered in the language. It's like a thrilling encounter, and you can find things.

  • -- Carol Ann Duffy 卡罗尔·安·达菲

我仍然有一种感觉,我没有写出我能写出的最好的东西。我想所有的诗人都应该有这样的感受:语言中不断有新的东西被发现。这就像一次激动人心的相遇,你可以找到一些东西。
