英語美文-詩歌之靈性

　　對青年男女來說，詩歌如同愛情一樣，是一種激情。不過，即使是為詩歌動人心弦的力量縈繞心靈而驕傲的人，也很快就必需掙脫詩歌那令人愉悅的.束縛;或者這種束縛會自然而然地松懈。

　　With the young of both sexes, Poetry is, like love, a passion; but, for much the greater part of those who have been proud of its power over their minds, a necessity soon arises of breaking the pleasing bondage; or it relaxes of itself; —the thoughts being occupied in domestic cares, or the time engrossed by business.

　　對青年男女來說，詩歌如同愛情一樣，是一種激情。不過，即使是為詩歌動人心弦的力量縈繞心靈而驕傲的人，也很快就必需掙脫詩歌那令人愉悅的束縛;或者這種束縛會自然而然地松懈，因為家務(wù)占據(jù)了頭腦，事業(yè)耗盡了時間。

　　Poetry then becomes only an occasional recreation; while to those whose existence passes away in a course of fashionable pleasure, it is a species of luxurious amusement.

　　如此一來, 詩歌就只是偶爾的消遣了。對那些一生都在追求時髦的人來說，詩歌是一種奢侈的娛樂。

　　In middle and declining age, a scattered number of serious persons resort to poetry, as to religion, for a protection against the pressure of trivial employments, and as a consolation for the afflictions of life.

　　而少數(shù)中老年人則借助于詩歌——就像求助于宗教一樣——來緩解瑣事帶來的壓力和撫平生活中的創(chuàng)傷。

　　And, lastly, there are many, who, having been enamoured of this art in their youth, have found leisure, after youth was spent, to cultivate general literature; in which poetry has continued to be comprehended as a study.

　　最后，還有許多自年輕時就迷上了詩歌藝術(shù)的愛好者，盡管已不再年輕，他們有了追求文學(xué)的閑暇，這時，詩歌被當(dāng)成了一門學(xué)問。
