  • -- E. L. Doctorow 达特罗

A poem is never a put-up job, so to speak. It begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It is never a thought to begin with.

可以这么说,诗歌从来就不是一项精心安排的工作。它始于哽咽,一种错误的感觉,一种乡愁,一种相思。这从来就不是一个想法。

Usually a poem takes shape accoustically - a line or a pair of lines will repeat itself in my ear.
