Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance - Carl Sandburg..........Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject - John Keats .........Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge - William Wordsworth ..........Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand - Plato .........No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language - Samuel Taylor Coleridge .........One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves - W. H. Auden ...........Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash - Leonard Cohen .........There is a pleasure in poetic pains which only poets know - William Cowper .........Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood -T. S. Eliot ..........Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason - Novalis...........He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life - George Sand .........A poem is never finished, only abandoned - Paul Valery ........A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland - Kahlil Gibran.............Poetry should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance - John Keats..........To be a poet is a condition, not a profession - Robert Frost........A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself - E. M. Forster.........Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo - Don Marquis...........Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things - T. S. Eliot ..........You can tear a poem apart to see what makes it tick. You're back with the mystery of having been moved by words. The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash or thunder in - Dylan Thomas .........Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words - Paul Engle......... There is not a joy the world can give like that it takes away! Lord Byron

潇潇- 中国

穿越世界屋脊的将军

——致L中将

潇潇 - 中国

 

将军啊，当你乘坐战鹰穿越多雄拉山口的时候

你是否触摸到死亡的翅膀

在连绵不断的山谷中飞翔

 

将军啊，当你用手托起故障的金属零件的时候

你是否听见昔日的悲惨事件像幽灵

　　在喜马拉雅山的脊背上盘旋回荡

 

将军啊，当你踏进空中死亡陷阱的时候

你是否看见春夏秋冬四季景色

　　像生与死在一瞬间交替

 

将军啊，当你的眼泪像温泉流进士兵心田的时候

墨脱，这块翠玉般的孤岛

　　在世界屋脊的边缘，灵魂的活力在颤抖

 

将军啊，当你的胸怀像父亲一样拥抱死神的时候

那些生命禁区中的边疆卫士，你最担忧的儿子

他们感动的心扉活跃着不可摧毁的，不朽的，生命的气息

 

将军啊，当你用一颗钻石的心照亮死亡航线的时候

你身经百战的刀剑就在世界的最高处所向披靡

让染血的山脉，傲慢的死神也向你弯腰敬礼

 

２００4年冬
