67圖文集

In her book The Leaf and the Cloud,

Mary Oliver speaks of a poem this way:

It wants to open itself,

like the door of a little temple,

so that you might step inside and be cooled and refreshed,

and less yourself than part of everything.

When your heart doors open,

your become "less yourself than part of everything."

 

Many are the sentinels who guard that door:

our fears, our self-importance,our meanness,

our greed, our bitterness...

Yet, one good poem can slip past them all.

在她的書《樹葉與雲》中, Mary Oliver如此描述詩:

她想把她自己打開

像小神殿的門

讓你可以進去納涼小憩

少一點小我而成為萬物的一部分

把通往心房的門打開

就能夠「少一點小我而成為萬物的一部分」

門口的警衛很多:

恐懼、自以為是、殘忍、貪婪、忌妒...

但是一首好詩

可以讓你把他們甩在身後

一閃而入...
