A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul.
这证明了伟大的抒情诗可以死亡、重生、再死，但永远是人类灵魂最杰出的创作之一。
I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.
我不认为诗歌是可以教的。我们可以鼓励年轻作家，但你不能教给他们的是诗歌的本质。
Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements. Once you understand the grammar of yoga; you can write your poetry of movements.

Poets find their voices when they articulate the wishes of the dead, especially those slain as sacrificial talismans to a larger frame of existence.

From quiet homes and first beginning, out to the undiscovered ends, there's nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
从宁静的家和最初的开始，到未知的终点，除了欢笑和朋友的爱，没有什么值得你为获胜而穿的衣服。
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
诗歌应该是伟大而不唐突的，它进入一个人的灵魂，而不是用它本身，而是用它的主题使它感到惊奇。
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
感受最美丽的生活意味着阅读一些美丽的东西，随时准备在语言的流动中领悟诗歌的突然闪现。
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。
One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.
诗歌和歌词的一个不同之处在于，歌词会逐渐淡出背景。当音乐响起时，他们就会淡出舞台，出现在舞台上。
Poetry is that art which selects and arranges the symbols of thought in such a manner as to excite the imagination the most powerfully and delightfully.
诗歌是一种艺术，它以最有力、最愉快的方式选择和排列思想的符号，以激发想象力。
I am grateful for - though I can't keep up with - the flood of articles, theses, and textbooks that mean to share insight concerning the nature of poetry.
我很感激——尽管我跟不上——大量的文章、论文和教科书，它们意味着分享关于诗歌本质的见解。
A way of using words to say things which could not possibly be said in any other way, things which in a sense do not exist till they are born … in poetry.
这是一种用语言来表达事物的方式，而这些事物是不可能用其他任何方式来表达的，在某种意义上，这些事物直到它们在诗歌中诞生才存在。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?

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。
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。
