经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
' ^/ V+ r) d7 D: K　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
7 U) Y) y% V0 t4 m) l! u6 d6 X　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
　　Setting in splendour every night has won
　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
9 u/ ]* K  s; M. {8 U$ P　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
1 h& {  F" W0 y& r　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
