A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.
如果世界上任何一天都没有诗歌，那么诗歌就会在那一天诞生。因为会有无法忍受的饥饿。
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!
I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.
我把绳索从一个塔尖拉到另一个塔尖;从一个窗口到另一个窗口的花环;从一颗星星到另一颗星星，我跳舞。
When you write about what you dream, you become a writer. When you dream about what you write, you become haunted by a curse.
当你写下你的梦想时，你就成为了一名作家。 当你梦到你所写的东西时，你会被诅咒所困扰。
Some of the greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken it for granted.
一些最伟大的诗歌向读者揭示了一种美，这种美是如此简单，以至于你认为它是理所当然的。
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
不要温和地进入那个美好的夜晚，老年应该在白天燃烧和咆哮;怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
These woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.
这些树林很可爱，又黑又深，但是我必须信守诺言，在我睡觉前还有很长的路要走，在我睡觉前还有很长的路要走。
Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.
诗歌是一种情感的流露，诗人认为这种情感是内在的，是个性化的，而读者则认为这种情感是他自己的。
I write poetry anyway and have for years and years. For me, putting fiction and poetry together is like the best of both worlds.
不管怎样，我还是写诗，而且已经写了很多年了。对我来说，把小说和诗歌结合在一起是两全其美。
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, An eternity in an hour.
从一粒沙子看到一个世界， 从一朵野花看到一个天堂， 把握在你手心里的就是无限， 一刹那的永恒。
You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what's in your heart.
在你的日常生活中，在你的记忆中，在人们在公共汽车上说的话中，在新闻中，或者只是在你的心中，你都能找到诗歌。
I would like The Discovery of Poetry to be a field guide to the natural pleasures of language - a happiness we were born to have.
我希望诗歌的发现能成为语言的自然乐趣的实地指南——一种我们与生俱来的快乐。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.
我想我的计划是写诗，出版书，以写诗为生。我想这是一个雄心勃勃的计划。
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
我爱你，就像某些黑暗的东西，在阴影和灵魂之间，被秘密地爱着。
It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The world should know by this time that one cannot reach Parnassus except by flying thither.
诗歌没有捷径可走，这是一件令人高兴的事。现在世人应该知道，除非飞到帕纳索斯，否则是到不了帕纳索斯的。
Publishing the lyric books, poetry or comics of other musicians I know. That's the thing I really want to break into!
出版我认识的其他音乐家的抒情书籍、诗歌或漫画。这才是我真正想闯进去的地方!
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
每颗心都唱着一首歌，残缺不全，直到另一颗心窃窃私语。想唱歌的人总能找到歌。每一个沐浴在爱河中的人都是诗人。
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
诗歌是一种情感找到了它的思想，思想找到了语言。
