经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
) I2 `! w& N+ m　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
6 `8 o3 g7 S" ~, z. L3 G　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
　　Setting in splendour every night has won
　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
( Z9 S! B9 i# G1 T- g　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
( z# P9 @0 ?* N　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
* X/ A3 Z. u" x) t% Q, F　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
. d5 p2 {5 \, A+ s/ _+ a6 H　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
3 d) o' I3 |3 X, b　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
