诗歌入门指南
作者:比利·柯林斯
译者:人土土
我让他们拿一首诗
借着光鉴赏
像看一张幻灯片
或把一只耳朵贴在蜂巢旁。
我说往诗里放只老鼠
然后看它如何闯出这迷宫,
或在诗的房间中行走
摸着墙壁寻找灯的开关。
我希望他们在诗上面
滑水然后
向岸边的作者名挥手。
但他们却只想
用绳索把诗拴在椅子上
然后折磨并拷问它。
他们开始抽打它
为找出它真正的含义。
Introduction to Poetry
BY BILLY COLLINS
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem’s room
and feel the walls for a light switch.
I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author’s name on the shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means. |
