問題詳情:
Years ago a girl handed me a note as I was leaving Albany, “I'm glad to know there is another poemist in the world,5, the note said. “I always knew we would find one another someday and our lights would cross.” That girl had not stood out to me,I realized,among the other faces in the classroom. Our lights would cross. How many other lights had I missed? I carried her note for thousands of miles.
I was fascinated with the poems that gave insight into all the secret territories of the human spirit, our rftetionships with one another. Somehow those glimpses felt comforting, like looking
through the lit windows of other people's homes at dusk, before they closed the curtains. How did other people live their lives? Just a sense of so many other worlds out there,beginning with the next house on my own street, gave me a great energy. How could anyone ever feel lonely?
To me the world of poetry is a house with thousands of glittering windows. Our words and images, land to land, era to era, cast light on one another. Our words dissolve (消除)the shadows we imagine fall between. Other countries stop seeming quite so “foreign,” when we listen to the voices of their people. If poetry comes out of the deepest places in the human soul and experience, shouldn't it be as important to learn about one another's poetry, country to country, as one another's weather or GDP? It seems critical to me.
Anyone who feds poetry is an alien form should consider the style in which human beings think. “How da you think? ”I ask my students. “Do you think in complete,elaborate (精巧的) sentences? In fully developed paragraphs with careful footnotes? Or in flashes and bursts of images, snatches of lines leaping one to the next, descriptive fragments, sensory details?” We think in poetry. But some people pretead ooetry is far away.
I love to offer students a poem now and then that I don't really understand. It presents them with the immediate opportunity to find an interesting way to look through its window. It presents us all with a renewed appetite for interpretation, one of the most energetic parts of the poetry experience.. Poems respect our ability to interpret and translate Images and signs. If most of us have lost, as some poets suggest, our meaningful? deep relationships with the world of nature; poems help as to see and feel that world again, beyond oar cities and double-locked doors.
