长篇经典英文诗歌篇一
Charlotte Brontë in Leeds Point
学习啦在线学习网 by Stephen Dunn
From her window marshland stretched for miles.
学习啦在线学习网 If not for egrets and gulls, it reminded her of the moors
学习啦在线学习网 behind the parsonage, how the fog often hovered
and descended as if sheltering some sweet compulsion
the age was not ready to see. On clear days the jagged
skyline of Atlantic City was visible——Atlantic City,
学习啦在线学习网 where all compulsions had a home.
学习啦在线学习网 "Everything's too easy now," she said to her neighbor,
学习啦在线学习网 "nothing resisted, nothing gained." Once, at eighteen,
学习啦在线学习网 she dreamed of London's proud salons glowing
学习啦在线学习网 with brilliant fires and dazzling chandeliers.
Already her own person——passionate, assertive——
soon she'd create a governess insistent on rights equal
to those above her rank. "The dangerous picture
of a natural heart," one offended critic carped.
She'd failed, he said, to let religion reign
over the passions and, worse, she was a woman.
Now she was amazed at what women had,
doubly amazed at what they didn't.
学习啦在线学习网 But she hadn't come back to complain or haunt.
Her house on the bay was modest, adequate.

学习啦在线学习网 The Present Writer
by Coner O'Callaghan
answers questions vaguely, as if from distance,
学习啦在线学习网 cares less for the dribs and drabs of his libido;
学习啦在线学习网 gets more droll, lachrymose, implicit with age;
has backed from the room, the turntable moving
and a refill pad lying open at the page
学习啦在线学习网 with 'swansong' and 'glockenspiel' written on it;
makes collect calls from payphones, lost for words;
学习啦在线学习网 has been known to sleep in the rear seat
学习啦在线学习网 on the hard shoulder, the hazards ticking;
is given to sudden floods of hope; still dreams
of swimming pools, in sepia; can take or leave
a life in shadow; will whoop out of the blue
and surface on the landing, fork and spoon in hand,
adrift of what the done thing was; doodles butterflies
on the envelopes of unread letters; travels happiest
学习啦在线学习网 towards daylight and fancies pigeons; gets a kick
学习啦在线学习网 inhabiting the third person, as if talking across himself
or forever clapping his own exits from the wings.
长篇经典英文诗歌篇三
学习啦在线学习网 The Potato
by Joseph Stroud
学习啦在线学习网 Three days into the journey
I lost the Inca Trail
and scrambled around the Andes
学习啦在线学习网 in a growing panic
学习啦在线学习网 when on a hillside below snowline
I met a farmer who pointed the way——
Machu Picchu allá, he said.
学习啦在线学习网 He knew where I wanted to go.
From my pack I pulled out an orange.
学习啦在线学习网 It seemed to catch fire
in that high blue Andean sky.
I gave it to him.
He had been digging in a garden,
学习啦在线学习网 turning up clumps of earth,
学习啦在线学习网 some odd, misshapen nuggets,
some potatoes.
He handed me one,
a potato the size of the orange
looking as if it had been in the ground
学习啦在线学习网 a hundred years,
a potato I carried with me
学习啦在线学习网 until at last I stood gazing down
on the Urubamba valley,
学习啦在线学习网 peaks rising out of the jungle into clouds,
学习啦在线学习网 and there among the mists
学习啦在线学习网 was the Temple of the Sun
and the Lost City of the Incas.
Looking back now, all these years later,
what I remember most,
学习啦在线学习网 what matters to me most,
was that farmer, alone on his hillside,
学习啦在线学习网 who gave me a potato,
学习啦在线学习网 a potato with its peasant face,
its lumps and lunar craters,
a potato that fit perfectly in my hand,
a potato that consoled me as I walked,
told me not to fear,
held me close to the earth,
学习啦在线学习网 the potato I put in a pot that night,
学习啦在线学习网 the potato I boiled above Machu Picchu,
the patient, gnarled potato
I ate.
