But maybe it's up in the hills under the leaves or in a ditch somewhere. Maybe it's never found. But what you find, whatever you find, is always only part of the missing, and writing is the way the poet finds out what it is he found.

  • -- Paul Engle 安格尔

但也许它在山上,在树叶下,或者在某个地方的沟里。也许永远也找不到。但你所发现的,无论你发现了什么,总是缺失的一部分,而写作是诗人发现他所发现的东西的方式。
