  經典的英文詩歌篇一

  Quotidian Poem

  by Patricia Fargnoli

  When I heard the bombing

  had begun I drove down

  to Keene and bought

  a 3x magnifying glass,

  a sketch book

  and drawing pencils. Then,

  I went out behind the apartments

  to snap off seed pods, weeds

  I could not name

  and a couple of brittle leaves.

  I saved the afternoon

  by studying edges

  of petals, seeds,

  the marvelous veins

  and sketching them.

  On the page, I wrote:

  unknown weeds 10/7/01, found

  in the patch between Applewood

  and the Historical Museum;

  on the day we began bombing.

  Then I made a pot of soup

  out of black-eyed peas

  and a ham bone

  I'd frozen from Easter.

  I threw in onions, garlic,

  parsley, cumin,

  a couple of tomatoes——

  whatever made sense.

  Enough for an army.

  Quilts

  by Nikki Giovanni

  ***for Sally Sellers***

  Like a fading piece of cloth

  I am a failure

  No longer do I cover tables filled with food and laughter

  My seams are frayed my hems falling my strength no longer able

  To hold the hot and cold

  I wish for those first days

  When just woven I could keep water

  From seeping through

  Repelled stains with the tightness of my weave

  Dazzled the sunlight with my Reflection

  I grow old though pleased with my memories

  The tasks I can no longer complete

  Are balanced by the love of the tasks gone past

  I offer no apology only this plea:

  When I am frayed and strained and drizzle at the end

  Please someone cut a square and put me in a quilt

  That I might keep some child warm

  And some old person with no one else to talk to

  Will hear my whispers And cuddle near

  Painters

  by Muriel Rukeyser

  In the cave with a long-ago flare

  a woman stands, her arms up. Red twig, black twig, brown twig.

  A wall of leaping darkness over her.

  The men are out hunting in the early light

  But here in this flicker, one or two men, painting

  and a woman among them.

  Great living animals grow on the stone walls,

  their pelts, their eyes, their sex, their hearts,

  and the cave-painters touch them with life, red, brown, black,

  a woman among them, painting.

  Repairwork

  by Dennis Hinrichsen

  They must have bled as they sang,

  the needles so quick through

  the linen, the frayed mesh,

  the silvers must have stung them.

  Pinpricks they must have stemmed

  with their tongues, unembarrassed,

  these brides of Christ

  like sewing patches of sunlight

  to water the ghost in the cloth

  laid double across their laps.

  These are the hips of Christ,

  knees raw bone inking the linen;

  this, the stain of a coin

  that graced His eye, the image

  as yet unpatterned, available only

  should they dare to look

  in random angles, stitches.

  Terrible gash at a medial rib.

  Imprint: sole of His foot,

  the other merely heel, curve of

  a branch at its one end blackened,

  released to ash their

  fingers as furious as sparks

  in the medieval dusk

  repairing a fire . . . They must have

  wept as they bled as they sang.

  Spring and Fall: To a young child

  by Gerard Manley Hopkins

  Margaret, are you grieving

  Over Goldengrove unleaving?

  Leaves, like the things of man, you

  With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?

  Ah! as the heart grows older

  It will come to such sights colder

  By and by, nor spare a sigh

  Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;

  And yet you will weep and know why.

  Now no matter, child, the name:

  Sorrow's springs are the same.

  Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed

  What heart heard of, ghost guessed:

  It is the blight man was born for,

  It is Margaret you mourn for.
