介绍:
家信      她给我寄来蓝松鸦,霜,   星星,以及此刻正升起在贫瘠山巅的   秋月的消息。   她轻描淡写地提及寒冷,痛苦,   并罗列出已经丧失的东西。   读到这里,我的生活显得艰难而缓慢,   我读到生机勃勃的瓜   堆在门边,篮子里装满   茴香,迷迭香和莳萝,   而所有无法采集,或隐藏在叶子中的   那些,她只能任其变黑并落下。   读到这里,我的生活显得艰难而陌生,   我读到她的兴奋,每当   星星升起,霜降下来,蓝松鸦唱起歌。   荒芜的岁月没有改变   她聪明而热情的心;   她知道人们总是   计划自己的生活,却难以实现。   如果她哭泣,她不会告诉我。      我抚摸着她的名字;   我叠好信,站起来,   倾倒信封,从里面飘出了   玻璃苣,忍冬,芸香的碎片。         A Letter from Home      by Mary Oliver      She sends me news of blue jays, frost,   Of stars and now the harvest moon   That rides above the stricken hills.   Lightly, she speaks of cold, of pain,   And lists what is already lost.   Here where my life seems hard and slow,   I read of glowing melons piled   Beside the door, and baskets filled   With fennel, rosemary and dill,   While all she could not gather in   Or hid in leaves, grow black and falls.   Here where my life seems hard and strange,   I read her wild excitement when   Stars climb, frost comes, and blue jays sing.   The broken year will make no change   Upon her wise and whirling heart; -   She knows how people always plan   To live their lives, and never do.   She will not tell me if she cries.      I touch the crosses by her name;   I fold the pages as I rise,   And tip the envelope, from which   Drift scraps of borage, woodbine, rue.
