介绍:
亨利·沃兹沃斯·朗费罗(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow，1807-1882)，美国诗人。作品有《生命颂》、《伊凡吉琳》等。在他辞世之际，全世界的人都视他为美国最伟大的诗人。人们将他的半身像安放在威斯敏斯特教堂的“诗人角”，在美国作家中他是第一个获此殊荣的人。《箭与歌》是朗费罗歌颂友谊的一首著名抒情短诗，在西方几乎家喻户晓。作者以“箭”与“歌”为意象，巧妙而含蓄地赞美了友谊的地久天长，那是一种在时光的长河中，历尽岁月沧桑却永不褪色的惺惜。
The Arrow and the Song
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
大家还在听
