Sitting in a Taipei office building, Lee thumbs through a collection of Brodsky ’ s poetry and quotes a passage: “ Sometimes, poets can answer questions that scientists and philosophers cannot. ” He stresses that poets don ’ t simply sculpt words, but rescue them.
在台北都會區的辦公大樓裡，李敏勇翻閱著布洛斯基的詩集，引述其所說：「有時科學家與哲學家都不能解答的問題，詩人可以！」他強調，詩人的角色，絕不只是雕琢語字的人，而是拯救語字的人。
