本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛下面这首诗中的一下几句,不太明白.
The loud voice is famous to the silence,
which knew it would inherit the earth
before anybody said so.

The idea you carry close to your bosom
is famous to your bosom.

I want to be famous to shuffling men,
who smile while crossing streets,
sticky children in grocery lines,
famous as the one who smiled back.
请明白的人无论如何指点一下,明天要写一篇essay.谢谢!


Famous
by Naomi Nye

The river is famous to the fish.

The loud voice is famous to the silence,
which knew it would inherit the earth
before anybody said so.

The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds
watching him from the birdhouse.

The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek.

The idea you carry close to your bosom
is famous to your bosom.

The boot is famous to the earth,
more famous than the dress shoe,
which is famous only to floors.

The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it,
and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.

I want to be famous to shuffling men,
who smile while crossing streets,
sticky children in grocery lines,
famous as the one who smiled back.

I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,
or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it did.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
