Is love’s bed always snow? 爱情的苗床可否总是覆雪? She seemed to hear my silent voice, 她仿佛在听我无声的心语, Not love's appeals to know. 却未听到爱情的欢悦。 I never saw so sweet a face 我再未见那般甜蜜的脸庞 As that I stood before. 虽曾面面相对 My heart has left its dwelling-place 我的心也离居远航 And can return no more. 依然遥遥无归 / 作者介绍/ 约翰·克莱尔 (1793~1864) 英国19世纪 浪漫主义时期诗人 他的诗歌创作 侧重于对自然的描写 克莱尔发表过四部诗集 其中第一部 《乡村生活和自然景色的描写》 获得巨大轰动 因为这部诗集 他获得了 “北安普顿的诗人”的美誉 (Northamptonshire Poet) 其作品以植物、动物、 家乡以及爱情 等主题见长 21世纪伊始 由于生态批评的发展 克莱尔再次走入 批评家和读者的视线 |
