And I found poems by Andrew Marvell and Matthew Arnold and Emily Dickinson and William Butler Yeats because they were quoted in science fiction, and I loved their sounds and I went on to read about ottava rima and medial caesuras and enjambment and all that other technical stuff that you care about if you already care about poems, because poems already made me happier and sadder and more alive.
科幻小说引用了安德鲁•马维尔， 马修•阿诺德，艾米莉•迪金森， 威廉•巴特勒•叶芝等诗人的诗歌， 我便与他们笔下美丽的篇章相遇， 我深爱着这些无声的音符， 进而，我认识了八行诗体， 居中停顿、跨行连续 等等诗歌艺术形式， 如果你也深爱诗歌，你一定知道这些概念， 因为诗歌赋予我欢乐，带给我忧伤， 也让我发现更多生命的意义。
