A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.

  • -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge 柯勒律治

诗人不应该扒窃自然的衣袋。让他借钱吧,借了就借,借了就借,借了就借,借了就还。准确地审视自然,但要从回忆中写作,更要相信想象力,而不是记忆。
