A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.
诗歌揭开了隐藏在世界之美的面纱，使熟悉的事物仿佛不熟悉一样。
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.
我看不出一个人怎么能一边从事物理学的前沿工作，一边写诗。他们是对立的。
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
我必须再次回到大海，回到寂寞的大海和天空;我所要求的只是一艘大船和一颗指引它驶过的星星。
There's a crystallization that goes on in a poem which the young man can bring off, but which the middle-aged man can't.
在一首诗中有一个结晶，年轻人可以做到，但中年人做不到。
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
诗歌比历史更优美，更富有哲理;因为诗歌表达的是普遍性，而历史只表达的是特殊性。
Poetry seems especially like nothing else so much as itself. Poetry is not like, it is the very lining of the inner life.
诗歌似乎特别像它自己。诗歌不像，它是内心生活的最里层。
A poet is a man who manages, in a lifetime of standing out in thunderstorms, to be struck by lightning five or six times.

Every beginning has an end and every end has a new beginning, don't worry, broken soul, life will one day come to an end.
每一个开始都有一个结束，每一个结束都有一个新的开始，不要担心，破碎的灵魂，生活总有一天会走到尽头。
He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.
从诗歌情感中获得高尚乐趣的人是真正的诗人，尽管他一生从未写过一行诗。
I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country.
我不喜欢自吹自擂，但在这个国家，我跳过的诗歌可能比我这个年龄和体重的任何人都多。
If I can see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile.
如果我能看到你眼中的痛苦，请与我分享你的泪水。如果我能从你的眼神中看到快乐，请与我分享你的微笑。
Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.
诗歌是一扇门的开与关，让那些透过门去看的人去猜测此刻所看到的是什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
一个诗人的证明是，他的祖国对他的吸收就像他对祖国的吸收一样深情。
Poetry expands the senses and keeps them in prime condition. It keeps you aware of your nose, your eye, your ear, your tongue, your hand.
诗歌扩展了人的感官，使之处于最佳状态。它让你意识到你的鼻子，你的眼睛，你的耳朵，你的舌头，你的手。
Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- its everything except what it is!
爱是沉重而光明的，光明而黑暗的，热和冷的，生病而健康的，睡着和醒着的——除了它是什么，它是一切!
Perhaps no person can be a poet, or even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind.
也许没有人可以成为一个诗人，甚至享受诗歌，没有一定的不健全的头脑。
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。
An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.
一个不能写诗的时代，除了颓废者的聪明才智之外，什么文学也不能写。
