The fact that poetry is not of the slightest economic or political importance, that is has no attachment to any of the powers that control the modern world, may set it free to do the only thing that in this age it can do -to keep the neglected parts.

  • -- Graham Hough 格雷厄姆·霍夫

诗歌不具有丝毫的经济或政治重要性,也就是说,它不依附于任何控制现代世界的力量,这一事实可能会让它自由地做在这个时代它唯一能做的事情——保留被忽视的部分。
