All are common experiences,
All are ordinary images,
Once they happen to come into dreams,
What novelties they can make!
All are ordinary feelings,
All are common words,
Once a poet happens to catch them,
What magic poetry they can create!
One never knows how strong is the wine
Until drunk,
One never knows how deep is the feeling
Until loved,
You are not able to write my poems,
As I cannot dream your dreams.
夢(mèng)與詩(shī)
都是平常經(jīng)驗(yàn),
都是平常影象,
偶然涌到夢(mèng)中來(lái),
變幻出多少新奇花樣!
都是平常情感,
都是平常言語(yǔ),
偶然碰著個(gè)詩(shī)人,
變幻出多少新奇詩(shī)句!
醉過(guò)才知酒濃,
愛(ài)過(guò)才知情重,
你不能做我的詩(shī),
正如我不能做你的夢(mèng)!
