Poetry

We dont read and write poetry because its cute.
我們讀詩寫詩，並非為它的靈巧
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
我們讀詩寫詩，因為我們是人類的一員
And the human race is filled with passion.
而人類充滿了熱情

醫藥，法律，商業，工程
And medicine, law, business, engineering,
這些都是高貴的行業，是維持生計的必要
These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
但是詩歌，美，浪漫，愛

才是我們生存的原因（生活需要詩和遠方）
But poetry, beauty, romance, love,
引用“惠特曼”的詩
These are what we stay alive for.
啊，自我；啊，生命！

這個問題不斷湧入我的腦海
To quote from Whitman
毫無信仰的人群川流不息

繁華的城市卻充斥著愚昧
'O me! O life!
這樣有什麼好處？啊，自我；啊，生命？
Of the questions of these recurring;
我們讀詩寫詩，並非為它的靈巧
Of the endless trains of the faithless
我們讀詩寫詩，因為我們是人類的一員
Of cities filled with the foolish;
而人類充滿了熱情
What good amid these, O me, O life ?'
醫藥，法律，商業，工程

這些都是高貴的行業，是維持生計的必要
We dont read and write poetry because its cute.
詩歌
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
美……
And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering,
These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry,
Beauty...
