诗艺
（美）阿奇博德·麦克利什

诗应该可触，应该哑然
如一枚圆圆的鲜果，

应该沉默，
犹如旧奖章触着拇指，

寂静如被衣袖磨平的窗台石架
上面长满了苔藓---

诗应该不着一字
一如鸟儿的飞行。

诗在时间中应该纹丝不动
像月亮爬升，

抛却，如月亮松开
黑夜缠绕的树林一枝接一枝。

抛却，如冬天叶片后的月亮
大脑的一点一点记忆---

诗在时间中应该纹丝不动
如月亮爬升。

诗应该等于：
并非是真。

因为所有的悲伤史
不过一道空荡荡的门口和一片枫叶。

爱，也不过
一蓬倾倒的草丛，海上的两点光---

诗不应该有所指，
而就是。

Ars Poetica

by Archibald MacLeish(1892 - 1982)

A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit,

Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb,

Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
Of casement ledges where the moss has grown—

A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs,

Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,

Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind—

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs.

A poem should be equal to:
Not true.

For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf.

For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea—

A poem should not mean
But be.

这首诗相当有美感，翻译得也好……

喻体都很新鲜啊
