KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
人生不过是一个行走的影子，一个可怜的演员，在舞台上趾高气扬，焦躁不安，然后就再也听不见了;这是一个白痴讲的故事，充满了喧嚣和愤怒，没有任何意义。
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
诗歌是有节奏地用文字创造美。
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
诗歌不是情感的放纵，而是情感的逃避;它不是个性的表现，而是对个性的一种逃避。但是，当然，只有那些有个性和情感的人才知道想要逃离这些东西意味着什么。

I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.
我几乎不记得我是如何开始写诗的。很难想象我认为诗歌能做什么。
