Night And The River

 

Night And The River By Mary Oliver Read By Mary Oliver I have seen the great feet leaping into the river and I have seen moonlight milky along the long muzzle and I have seen the body of something scaled and wonderful slumped in the sudden fire of its mouth and I could not tell which fit me more comfortably, the power, or the powerlessness; neither would have me entirely; I was divided, consumed, by sympathy, pity, admiration. After a while it was done, the fish had vanished, the bear lumped away to the green shore and into the trees. And then there was only this story. It followed me home and entered my house— a difficult guest with a single tune which it hums all day and through the night— slowly or briskly, it doesn’t matter, it sounds like a river leaping and falling it sounds like a body falling apart.

回复 '南山松' 的评论 :

谢谢松松的评论，朗诵者也是诗人Mary Oliver她自己呢。诗人把河边所见，创作成诗歌，有点恐怖的一首诗，鱼就这样被熊吞没了。"And then there was only this story. It followed me home and entered my house—a difficult guest with a single tune."
