  诗歌欣赏:Alone And Drinking Under The Moon

精选英文诗歌欣赏

  Amongst the flowers I

  am alone with my pot of wine

  drinking by myself; then lifting

  my cup I asked the moon

  to drink with me, its reflection

  and mine in the wine cup, just

  the three of us; then I sigh

  for the moon cannot drink,

  and my shadow goes emptily along

  with me never saying a word;

  with no other friends here, I can

  but use these two for company;

  in the time of happiness, I

  too must be happy with all

  around me; I sit and sing

  and it is as if the moon

  accompanies me; then if I

  dance, it is my shadow that

  dances along with me; while

  still not drunk, I am glad

  to make the moon and my shadow

  into friends, but then when

  I have drunk too much, we

  all part; yet these are

  friends I can always count on

  these who have no emotion

  whatsoever; I hope that one day

  we three will meet again,

  deep in the Milky Way.

  诗歌欣赏:Ambulances

  Closed like confessionals they thread

  Loud noons of cities giving back

  Noen of the glances they absorb.

  Light glossy grey arms on a plaque

  They come to rest at any kerb:

  All streets in time are visited.

  Then children strewn on steps or road

  Or women coming coming from the shops

  Past smells of different dinners see

  A wild #CCCCFF face that overtops

  Red stretcher-blankets momently

  As it is carried in and stowed

  And sense the solving emptiness

  That lies just under all we do

  And for a second get it whole

  So permanent and blank and true.

  The fastened doors recede. Poor soul

  They whisper at their own distress.

  For borne away in deadened air

  May go the sudden shut of loss

  Round something nearly at an end

  And what cohered in it across

  The years the unique random blend

  Of families and fashions there

  At last begin to loosen. Far

  From the exchange of love to lie

  Unreachable inside a room

  The trafiic parts to let go by

  Brings closer what is left to come

  And dulls to distance all we are.

  诗歌欣赏:Canto

  by Ezra Pound

  And then went down to the ship,

  Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea, and

  We set up mast and sail on tha swart ship,

  Bore sheep aboard her, and our bodies also

  Heavy with weeping, so winds from sternward

  Bore us out onward with bellying canvas,

  Circe's this craft, the trim-coifed goddess.

  Then sat we amidships, wind jamming the tiller,

  Thus with stretched sail, we went over sea till day's end.

  Sun to his slumber, shadows o'er all the ocean,

  Came we then to the bounds of deepest water,

  To the Kimmerian lands, and peopled cities

  Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever

  With glitter of sun-rays

  Nor with stars stretched, nor looking back from heaven

  Swartest night stretched over wretched men there.

  The ocean flowing backward, came we then to the place

  Aforesaid by Circe.

  Here did they rites, Perimedes and Eurylochus,

  And drawing sword from my hip

  I dug the ell-square pitkin;

  Poured we libations unto each the dead,

  First mead and then sweet wine, water mixed with white flour.

  Then prayed I many a prayer to the sickly death's-head;

  As set in Ithaca, sterile bulls of the best

  For sacrifice, heaping the pyre with goods,

  A sheep to Tiresias only, black and a bell-sheep.

  Dark blood flowed in the fosse,

  Souls out of Erebus, cadaverous dead, of brides

  Of youths and at the old who had borne much;

  Souls stained with recent tears, girls tender,

  Men many, mauled with bronze lance heads,

  Battle spoil, bearing yet dreory arms,

  These many crowded about me; with shouting,

  Pallor upon me, cried to my men for more beasts;

  Slaughtered the heards, sheep slain of bronze;

  Poured ointment, cried to the gods,

  To Pluto the strong, and praised Proserpine;

  Unsheathed the narrow sword,

  I sat to keep off the impetuous impotent dead,

  Till I should hear Tiresias.

  But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor,

  Unburied, cast on the wide earth,

  Limbs that we left in the house of Circe,

  Unwept, unwrapped in sepulchre, since toils urged other.

  Pitiful spirit. And I cried in hurried speech:

  "Elpenor, how art thou come to this dark coast?

  Cam'st thou afoot, outstripping seamen?"

  And he in heavy speech:

  "Ill fate and abundant wine. I slept in Circe's ingle.

  Going down the long ladder unguarded,

  I fell against the buttress,

  Shattered the nape-nerve, the soul sought Avernus.

  But thou, O King, I bid remember me, unwept, unburied,

  Heap up mine arms, be tomb by sea-bord, and inscribed:

  A man of no fortune, and with a name to come.

  And set my oar up, that I swung mid fellows."

  And Anticlea came, whom I beat off, and then Tiresias Theban,

  Holding his golden wand, knew me, and spoke first:

  "A second time? why? man of ill star,

  Facing the sunless dead and this joyless region?

  Stand from the fosse, leave me my bloody bever

  For soothsay."

  And I stepped back,

  And he stong with the blood, said then: "Odysseus

  Shalt return through spiteful Neptune, over dark seas,

  Lose all companions." And then Anticlea came.

  Lie quiet Divus. I mean, that is Andreas Divus,

  In officina Wecheli, 1538, out of Homer.

  And he sailed, by Sirens and thence outward and away

  And unto Circe.

  Venerandam,

  In the Creatan's phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,

  Cypri munimenta sortita est, mirthful, orichalchi, with golden

  Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids

  Bearing the golden bough of Argicida. So that

  诗歌欣赏:Called into Play

  by A. R. Ammons

  Fall fell: so that's it for the leaf poetry:

  some flurries have whitened the edges of roads

  and lawns: time for that, the snow stuff: &

  turkeys and old St. Nick: where am I going to

  find something to write about I haven't already

  written away: I will have to stop short, look

  down, look up, look close, think, think, think:

  but in what range should I think: should I

  figure colors and outlines, given forms, say

  mailboxes, or should I try to plumb what is

  behind what and what behind that, deep down

  where the surface has lost its semblance: or

  should I think personally, such as, this week

  seems to have been crafted in hell: what: is

  something going on: something besides this

  diddledeediddle everyday matter-of-fact: I

  could draw up an ancient memory which would

  wipe this whole presence away: or I could fill

  out my dreams with high syntheses turned into

  concrete visionary forms: Lucre could lust

  for Luster: bad angels could roar out of perdition

  and kill the AIDS vaccine not quite

  perfected yet: the gods could get down on

  each other; the big gods could fly in from

  nebulae unknown: but I'm only me: I have 4

  interests——money, poetry, sex, death: I guess

  I can jostle those. . . .

  诗歌欣赏:Ephemera

  ‘Your eyes that once were never weary of mine

  Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids,

  Because our love is waning.‘

  And then she:

  ‘Although our love is waning, let us stand

  By the lone border of the lake once more,

  Together in that hour of gentleness

  When the poor tired child, Passion, falls asleep:

  How far away the stars seem, and how far

  Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!‘

  Pensive they paced along the faded leaves,

  While slowly he whose hand held hers replied:

  ‘Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.’

  The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves

  Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once

  A rabbit old and lame limped down the path;

  Autumn was over him: and now they stood

  On the lone border of the lake once more:

  Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves

  Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes,

  In bosom and hair.

  ‘Ah, do not mourn,’ he said,

  ‘That we are tired, for other loves await us;

  Hate on and love through unrepining hours.

  Before us lies eternity; our souls

  Are love, and a continual farewell.‘

  诗歌欣赏:A Prayer for my Daughter

  Once more the storm is howling, and half hid

  Under this cradle-hood and coverlid

  My child sleeps on. There is no obstacle

  But Gregory's wood and one bare hill

  Whereby the haystack- and roof-levelling wind,

  Bred on the Atlantic, can be stayed;

  And for an hour I have walked and prayed

  Because of the great gloom that is in my mind.

  I have walked and prayed for this young child an hour

  And heard the sea-wind scream upon the tower,

  And under the arches of the bridge, and scream

  In the elms above the flooded stream;

  Imagining in excited reverie

  That the future years had come,

  Dancing to a frenzied drum,

  Out of the murderous innocence of the sea.

  May she be granted beauty and yet not

  Beauty to make a stranger's eye distraught,

  Or hers before a looking-glass, for such,

  Being made beautiful overmuch,

  Consider beauty a sufficient end,

  Lose natural kindness and maybe

  The heart-revealing intimacy

  That chooses right, and never find a friend.

  Helen being chosen found life flat and dull

  And later had much trouble from a fool,

  While that great Queen, that rose out of the spray,

  Being fatherless could have her way

  Yet chose a bandy-leggèd smith for man.

  It's certain that fine women eat

  A crazy salad with their meat

  Whereby the Horn of Plenty is undone.

  In courtesy I'd have her chiefly learned;

  Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned

  By those that are not entirely beautiful;

  Yet many, that have played the fool

  For beauty's very self, has charm made wise,

  And many a poor man that has roved,

  Loved and thought himself beloved,

  From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

  May she become a flourishing hidden tree

  That all her thoughts may like the linnet be,

  And have no business but dispensing round

  Their magnanimities of sound,

  Nor but in merriment begin a chase,

  Nor but in merriment a quarrel.

  O may she live like some green laurel

  Rooted in one dear perpetual place.

  My mind, because the minds that I have loved,

  The sort of beauty that I have approved,

  Prosper but little, has dried up of late,

  Yet knows that to be choked with hate

  May well be of all evil chances chief.

  If there's no hatred in a mind

  Assault and battery of the wind

  Can never tear the linnet from the leaf.

  An intellectual hatred is the worst,

  So let her think opinions are accursed.

  Have I not seen the loveliest woman born

  Out of the mouth of Plenty's horn,

  Because of her opinionated mind

  Barter that horn and every good

  By quiet natures understood

  For an old bellows full of angry wind?

  Considering that, all hatred driven hence,

  The soul recovers radical innocence

  And learns at last that it is self-delighting,

  Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,

  And that its own sweet will is Heaven's will;

  She can, though every face should scowl

  And every windy quarter howl

  Or every bellows burst, be happy still.

  And may her bridegroom bring her to a house

  Where all's accustomed, ceremonious;

  For arrogance and hatred are the wares

  Peddled in the thoroughfares.

  How but in custom and in ceremony

  Are innocence and beauty born?

  Ceremony's a name for the rich horn,

  And custom for the spreading laurel tree.
