  經典的英文詩歌篇1

  Sparrow, the Special Delight of My Girl

  by Gaius Valerius Catullus

  Translated by David Mulroy

  Sparrow, the special delight of my girl,

  whom often she teases and holds on her lap

  and pokes with the tip of her finger, provoking

  counterattacks with your mordant beak,

  whenever my luminous love desires

  something or other, innocuous fun,

  a bit of escape, I suppose, from her pain,

  a moment of peace from her turbulent passion,

  I wish I could play like she does with you

  and lighten the cares of my sorrowful soul.

  It thrills me as much as the nimble girl

  in the story was thrilled by the gilded apple

  that finally uncinched her virginal gown.

  Speech Alone

  by Jean Follain

  Translated by W. S. Merwin

  It happens that one pronounces

  a few words just for oneself

  alone on this strange earth

  then the small white flower

  the pebble like all those that went before

  the sprig of stubble

  find themselves re-united

  at the foot of the gate

  which one opens slowly

  to enter the house of clay

  while chairs, table, cupboard,

  blaze in a sun of glory.

  Speaking In Tongues

  by Mary Rose O'Reilley

  I go to church every Sunday

  though I don‘t believe a word of it,

  because the longing for God

  is a prayer said in the bones.

  When people call on Jesus

  I move to a place in the body

  where such words rise,

  one of the valleys

  where hope pins itself to desire;

  we have so much landscape like that

  you‘d think we were made

  to sustain a cry.

  When the old men around me

  lift their hands

  as though someone has cornered them,

  giving it all away,

  I remember a dock on the estuary,

  watching a heron get airborne against the odds.

  It‘s the transitional moment that baffles me—

  how she composes her rickety

  grocery cart of a body

  to make that flight.

  The pine siskin, stalled on a windy coast,

  remembers the woods

  she will long for when needs arise; so

  the boreal forest composes itself in my mind:

  first as a rift, absence,

  then in a tumble of words

  undone from sense, like the stutter

  you hear when somebody falls over the cliff of language. Call it a gift.

  Spellbound

  by Emily Bront

  The night is darkening round me,

  The wild winds coldly blow;

  But a tyrant spell has bound me

  And I cannot, cannot go.

  The giant trees are bending

  Their bare boughs weighed with snow.

  And the storm is fast descending,

  And yet I cannot go.

  Clouds beyond clouds above me,

  Wastes beyond wastes below;

  But nothing drear can move me;

  I will not, cannot go.

  Spirit

  by Maggie Nelson

  The spirit of Jane

  lives on in you,

  my mother says

  trying to describe

  who I am. I feel like the girl

  in the late-night movie

  who gazes up in horror

  at the portrait of

  her freaky ancestor

  as she realizes

  they wear the same

  gaudy pendant

  round their necks.

  For as long as I can

  remember, my grandfather

  has made the same slip:

  he sits in his kitchen,

  his gelatinous blue eyes

  fixed on me. Well Jane,

  he says, I think I‘ll have another cup of coffee.
