经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
" R9 v6 p+ G: P2 k6 w　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
" P4 z# t7 d4 k( L+ E1 l　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
3 r- b% h1 T8 \4 Y- G; W5 k3 A　　Setting in splendour every night has won
　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
1 a. F7 `0 ^6 b　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
, n  X8 Y  \5 e$ k7 `　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
1 g4 c. D& h( J6 x　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
+ J& \. [# g6 U' M. x; b　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
9 P# F- U* m: x. |! R5 J3 o8 I　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
