A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
I've written poetry since I was in the first grade, and it wasn't until I was a little bit older that I realized poetry could be put to music and become a song.
我从一年级就开始写诗，直到我长大一点，我才意识到诗歌可以被谱成音乐，成为一首歌。
Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth.
小心智慧， 因为它知道的太多，所以什么也不知道 让你倒挂着， 把知识当作自己的心 从你嘴里掉出来。
Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.
对我来说，诗歌本身就是极大的奖赏;它使我养成了一种习惯，那就是希望在所有遇见和围绕着我的事物中发现美好和美丽。
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.
我在这个小镇上长大，我的诗歌诞生在山和河之间，它从雨中发出声音，像树木一样，它浸透在森林里。
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
在科学中，人们试图以一种人人都能理解的方式告诉人们一些以前没有人知道的事情。但在诗歌中，恰恰相反。
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
灵魂从灵魂那里接受知识，因此不是通过书本，也不是通过语言。如果神秘的知识来自于心灵的空虚，那就是心灵的光明。
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 and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place.
诗歌和进步就像两个野心勃勃的人，他们本能地憎恨彼此，当他们在同一条路上相遇时，其中一个不得不让步。
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity -it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
诗歌应该让读者感到惊奇，而不是感到奇怪——它应该给读者留下深刻的印象，把它看作是他自己最高思想的一种表达方式，几乎成为一种回忆。
Now, to read poetry at all is to have an ideal anthology of one's own, and in that possession to be incapable of content with the anthologies of all the world besides.
现在，要读诗，就必须有自己的理想选集，而且不能满足于世界上所有的选集。
One of the most powerful devices of poetry is the use of distortions. You can go from talking about the way a minute passes to the way a century passes, or a lifetime.
诗歌最有力的手段之一是运用扭曲手法。你可以从谈论一分钟过去的方式，到一个世纪过去的方式，或者一生。
A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.
一知半解是件危险的事;喝得深一点，否则就尝不到皮埃尔泉水的味道;在那里，浅浅的烈性酒使我们的大脑陶醉，喝得酩酊大醉使我们再次清醒过来。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
我用咖啡勺来衡量我的生活。
Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.
听;隔壁的宇宙好极了:我们走吧。
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!
poetry is paying attention to life when all the world seems asleep to its beauties and truths.
诗歌是当整个世界似乎对它的美和真理沉睡时，对生活的关注。
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。
Poetry: the best words in the best order.
诗歌:以最好的顺序写出最好的文字。
