What Is Poetry
by Eleanor Farjeon
What is poetry Who knows
Not a rose, but the scent of the rose;
Not the sky, but the light in the sky;
Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly;
Not the sea, but the sound of the sea;
Not myself, but what makes me
See, hear, and feel something that prose
Cannot: and what is it, who knows
诗为何物
作者：埃莉诺·法杰恩（英国）
翻译：岩子（德国）
什么是诗歌
有谁知道呢
并不是一朵玫瑰,
但却比玫瑰更芬芳；
不是天空,
但却比天空更明亮；
不是飞鸟,
但却比飞鸟更易逝；
不是海洋,
但却比海洋更喧嚣；
不是我自己,
但却造就了我.
看一看,听一听,
去感受那散文中所没有的,
诗为何物？
有谁知道
A famous English poet Shelley said, “Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.”

Wind On The Hill
------By A. A. Milne
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
山上的风
---A.A.米尔恩
没人告诉我，
也没人知道：
风从哪儿来，
风往哪儿跑。
风从一个地方来，
得快，飞得急，
我跟不上风的步子，
跑也来不及。
可要是我站着抓住
风筝的一根线，
风筝就随风飘去，
飘一天，飘一晚。
无论风筝飘哪儿，
只要我找得见，
我知道风准定
也到了那边。
我就能告诉人们，
风往哪儿跑……
可风从哪儿来，
没有人知道。

About A.A. Milne
Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was a well-known British playwright, novelist, storyteller and children’s poet, graduating from the University of Cambridge.
He was the best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.
DREAM
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
by Langston Hughes
梦想
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消亡，
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消丧，
生命就像贫瘠的荒野，
雪覆冰封，万物不再生长。
---兰斯顿·休斯

And I were like the leaf.

it is also of great importance for us to
Dear Steven,
I’m glad to receive your letter in which you asked me about a Tang poem—Sympathy for Farmers.
The poem, made up of 4 lines, is quite popular with folk literary readers. When I read the poem aloud I can hear that the last word from the second and the fourth sentences rhyme — “tu” and “ku”. These rhyming words sound nice and make the poem pleasing to read. The poem presents a vivid picture in which I can see different images. Hot as it is outside at noon in summer, the farmers are still working in the fields, wet all over with their sweat falling into the soil where the crops grow. However, who knows all the delicious dishes on our tables come from the hard work of farmers
The reason why Li Shen wrote this poem is to remind people of the importance of the farmers’ hard work. I think it’s of great significance that the young generation today should understand the poem and treasure every grain.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Steven,
Delighted to know from your last e-mail that you are keen on our Chinese ancient poetry，I‘m delighted to tell you that I am a big fan of Li Bai’s poetry.
As is known to all, Li Bai was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, who was called “The immortal poet ”by later generations. A Tranquil Night is one of his most famous poems，whose beautiful imagery often reminds me of my relatives far away from me.The poem uses metaphor and foil（衬托） to describe a picture where the poet in the house is raising his head enjoying the moon which actually expresses homesickness.
In my opinion, it’s the most meaningful poem that I’ve ever read. He and his poems enjoy a high reputation around the world. On my recommendation, you will have a taste for Li Bai’s poetry. How do you like them Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours, Li Hua
