A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry.
诗歌也是诗人的身体自我,诗人与诗歌是分不开的。
A walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
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。
I may not always be with you But when we're far apart Remember you will be with me Right inside my heart.
我也许不能永远和你在一起 但当我们相距遥远 记住你会和我在一起 就在我的心里。
Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.
诗歌是一种破坏散文的美丽方式,也是一种用平淡的感觉换取和谐的费力艺术。

如果我不工作,我就会失控。我惊慌失措,不知道该怎么办。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
诗歌不是一种职业,而是一种徒劳无益的游戏。没有一个诚实的诗人能对他所写的东西的永久价值有十足的把握:他可能白白浪费了时间,把生活搞得一团糟。
Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime.
只要我们的世界够大,时间够长,小姐,这种羞怯并不是犯罪。
