Poetry
Eleanor Farjeon
What is poetry? Who knows?
Not a rose, but the scent of the rose;
Not a sky, but the light in the sky;
Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly;
Not the sea, but the sound of the sea;
Not myself, but what makes me
See, hear, and feel something that prose
Cannot: and what it is, who knows?
詩
(英國) 依列娜·法吉恩
誰能告訴我,什么是詩?
它不是玫瑰,卻有玫瑰般的芳香;
它不是藍天,卻似藍天一樣透亮;
它不是螢火蟲,卻在黑暗中閃光;
它不是大海,卻似大海萬頃波濤,激起轟響;
它不是我,卻使我看到、聽到、感受到,
一種奇妙的東西,
一種散文難以描繪的意境。
誰能告訴我,什么是詩?
