诺兰(T.S. Eliot)是20世纪著名的英国诗人,以下是一些他的著名诗句:
1. "April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain."
(《四月是最残酷的月份,孕育着
从死地长出的丁香,混合
记忆与欲望,搅动
春雨中的沉睡的根。》)
2. "We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
(《我们不会停止探索
所有探索的尽头
将是回到起点
第一次认识这个地方。》)
3. "In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo."
(《在房间里,女人们来来去去
谈论着米开朗基罗。》)
4. "This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
(《世界就是这样结束的
不是一声巨响,而是一声叹息。》)
5. "I said to my soul, be still, and wait;
Without a thought of a latter end."
(《我对我的灵魂说,安静下来,等待;
不思考任何结局。》)
