I spend the days deciding on a commemorative poem. Not,luckily,an epitaph. A quiet poem to establish the fact of me. As one of the incidental faces in those stone processions. Carefully done. Not claiming that I was at any of the great victories. But that I volunteered.
-------Jack Gilbert 作者简介:Jack Gilbert won the 2005 National Book Critics Award for poetry for 'Refusing Heaven. ' (康复 我花了几天的时间 在一首纪念的诗词上。 庆幸,不是一阕墓志铭。 一首平静的诗 建成事实上的我。 好似附在 这些排列的石头队列中 众多面孔里的一张脸。 精心完成。 没有宣称我曾是 任何了不起的成功者。 不过这是我的自愿。)
