A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
诗歌
Poetry
Well, probably I was fed up with concrete poetry. There was a lot of bad concrete poetry and besides, it was confused with visual poetry which was completely different.
也许我受够了具体的诗歌。有很多不好的具体诗歌，此外，它与视觉诗歌混淆，这是完全不同的。
For my part, if I consider poetry as an object, I maintain that it is born of the necessity of adding a vocal sound (speech) to the hammering of the first tribal music.
就我个人而言，如果我把诗歌看作一个对象，我认为它的产生是由于在最初的部落音乐的敲打中加入一种声音(演说)的必要性。
For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.
对我来说，具体的诗歌是一种特殊的使用语言的方式，产生于一种特殊的感觉，我无法控制这种感觉是否存在于我的内心。
Shall Life renew these bodies? Of a truth All death will he annul, all tears assuage? Or fill these void veins full again with youth And wash with an immortal water age?
生命能使这些躯体重生吗?所有的死亡，所有的眼泪，他都能消除吗?还是用青春来填满这些空虚的血管，用不朽的岁月来洗涤?
So much of my poetry begins with something that I can describe in visual terms, so thinking about distance, thinking about how life begins and what might be watching us.
我的很多诗歌都是从一些我能用视觉来描述的东西开始的，比如思考距离，思考生命是如何开始的，以及什么在注视着我们。
Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
因为哲学源于敬畏，所以哲学家一定要成为神话和诗意寓言的爱好者。诗人和哲学家都有伟大的奇迹。
Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words.
诗歌是普通语言的n次方。诗歌是由思想所构成的，是由细腻、坚韧的文字所凝聚而成的。
I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies.
我来这里讲诗歌。它将永远在草地上。也有必要弯下腰去听。它总是太简单，不能在程序集中讨论。
I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels.
我相信短篇小说的形式和诗歌一样不同，在我看来最好的小说在精神上更接近诗歌而不是小说。
He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger.
他从抒情诗过渡到史诗，理性而感性地通过人来讲述世界和世界上的痛苦。诗人变成了一个危险。
It could be said that a single person has written all the books in the world such central unity is in them that they are undeniably the work of a single all-knowing master.
可以说，世界上所有的书都是由一个人写的，书中有如此核心的统一性，不可否认，它们都是由一位无所不知的大师所写。
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude.
当我们和更好的自己分开太久，被匆忙的世界分开，变得萎靡不振。厌倦了它的工作，厌倦了它的快乐，孤独中多么亲切，多么善良。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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 think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
我想，没有什么，甚至没有犯罪，比这种没完没了的工作更反对诗歌，更反对哲学，更反对生活本身了。
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。
The sea waves stirred before me they dashed against the rocks like a mermaid rising from its depths curled white sea foam were her locks.
波浪在我面前翻腾着，冲击着岩石，像一条美人鱼从海的深处浮上来。
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?
如果我们充满忧虑，却没有时间去驻足凝视，这又算得了什么呢?
I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.
我几乎不记得我是如何开始写诗的。很难想象我认为诗歌能做什么。
