把这一句，留给此刻的你
We turned an anthem into an assignment, a poem into a job description.
我们把一首赞歌变成了一项任务，把一首诗变成了一份工作描述。

Like a poem poorly written we are verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme in syncopated time.
就像一首写得不好的诗，我们是不合韵律的诗句，不合韵律的对联。
Simon And Garfunkel
西蒙与加丰科
A poem generated by its own laws may be unrealized and bad in terms of so-called objective principles of taste, judgement, deduction.
由其自身规律所产生的诗歌，在所谓的审美、判断、演绎的客观原则方面，可能是未实现的，是不好的。
A. R. Ammons

I don't think there's anything wrong with someone having to read a poem twice. Or even a book.
我不认为有人必须把一首诗读两遍有什么错。甚至是一本书。
George Murray
默里
A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense.
诗歌传达的信息与其说是信息的来源，不如说是意义的出现。
Thomas Harrison

You should always be trying to write a poem you are unable to write, a poem you lack the technique, the language, the courage to achieve. Otherwise you're merely imitating yourself, going nowhere, because that's always easiest
你应该一直尝试写一首你写不出来的诗，一首你缺乏技巧、语言、勇气去实现的诗。否则你只是在模仿自己，什么都不做，因为这总是最简单的
