经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
  |1 V: U3 E# j; |- ?　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
# D: A. Y" [4 R$ w/ ]" _　　Setting in splendour every night has won
% O% m. H# L4 I9 |　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
- _! M; n) U* B* d" ^* Y7 j　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
7 O) F: t# X6 @. @# t1 [0 y- Q4 J& ~　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
