What is poetry
Lead in
Lead-in
Poetry is an expression of one’s will. What is kept in the heart is the will, but when expressed in words, it is poetry.
—“Preface to The Book of Songs”
诗者,志之所之也。
在心为志,发言为诗。

Liberty and love, these two I must have.
For my love I’ll sacrifice My life.
For liberty I’ll sacrifice My love.

Long and winding is the road ahead, I will keep searching and probing between heaven and earth.
路漫漫其修远兮,
吾将上下而求索。

From hill to hill no bird in flight
From path to path no man in sight
A lonely fisherman afloat
Is fishing snow in lonely boat.

It seemed lost even when it was felt then.

A Spring Morning
This spring morning in bed I'm lying,
Not to awake till the birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers

Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
兰斯顿·休斯(Langston Hughes,1902.02.01—1967.05.22)在美国文坛,尤其是黑人文学方面,是一个举足轻重的人物。他写过小说、戏剧、散文、历史、传记等各种文体的作品,还把西班牙文和法文的诗歌翻译成英文,甚至编辑过其他黑人作家的文选,但他主要以诗歌著称,被誉为“黑人民族的桂冠诗人”。
梦想
兰斯顿·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消亡,
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀,
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消丧,
生命就像贫瘠的荒野,
雪覆冰封,万物不再生长

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
