Poetic Nonsense
"Poetry is on a par with ingenuous nonsense. "
--- Sir Isaac Newton
My room is a wilderness
where tree stumps mutter in small voice
Words of last week's rumor fallen inside ear
are now being vacuumed away as dust, then recycled
Sunlight touches the rooftop
to visit the untamed little beast caged in my heart
The westward window always nullify my dull pain
every time it's gazing to the east
And the door leading to this room
is a needle's eye that flees from the dark night
Singing was once the key to entrance,
however the wrong lyrics I each time remembered.
断章
我的房间是
听得见树墩说话的旷野
上周的谣言掉进耳洞里
当作尘埃被吸走,再回收
光明抵达屋顶
探视我心房内最原始的小兽
西窗每一次朝东的眺望
总使我的隐痛开始健忘
通往房间的门
仿佛逃避黑夜的针孔
歌声曾经是开启它的钥匙
可惜我总哼错歌词

喜欢这首小诗中文版,也让我想起苯笨。
Poetic Nonsense appeals to our sour noses.

抄两段附和一下:
To the glory of science:
Out, Light overpowering!
Magnesium-devouring,
Thundercloud-showering,
Ego-deflowering,
Stingking One,
Blinking One,
Vex us no more!
with myterical chorus of scientists:
Now a reality,
Once but a vision.
What classicality,
Grace and precision!
Hailed with cordiality,
Honored in song,
Eternal Neutrality
Pulls us along! - Re: Poetic Nonsense 断章posted on 06/23/2009

不犯错误,如何能不断进步?:) 老兄提醒得及时,看来今年夏天热的太早。 - posted on 06/23/2009
未必是错误呢。我觉得你这引语与诗行正好形成张力,不错的。
当然,犯错中进步也很了不起。我讲几句牛顿吧,牛顿也不是那些人
扯得那么神乎神地的,牛顿也一样摸索,一样犯错。至少光粒子说就
遭到歌德的反对,当然歌德研究更多的是生物。但物理上毕竟有光波
动说与他反对,最后才是光的波粒二象性,这错不错的,何必?
又说到诗,诗人布莱尔作一了幅画,“牛顿之眠”,并且写诗讥讽牛
顿井底之娃,这也没有什么,牛顿还自讽拾贝少年呢。
上帝使我们远离偏狭和“牛顿之眠”。--威廉布莱克“给托马斯巴
兹信中的诗句(1802年)”
而达尔文又从另一个方向反诘:
无知比博学经常更带给人自信:那些肯定地断言这个或那个问题永远
不可能被解决的人,恰恰是那些所知甚少的人,而不是学识渊博的人。
--查尔斯达尔文《人类的由来》导言(1871年)
看,人类的文明就是这么有趣,诗,诗人,自有其妙机!
