Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all.

  • -- C. S. Lewis C.S.刘易斯

诗歌通常不直接传达情感,而是通过创造性地为这些情感创造基础。因此,它传达的不仅仅是情感;只有通过这种方式,它才能传达更多的情感。
