Charles Martin (1942)

Tired of earth, they dwindled on their hill,
Watching and waiting in the moonlight until
The aspens' leaves quite suddenly grew still,

No longer quaking as the disc descended,
That glowing wheel of lights whose coming ended
All waiting and watching. When it landed

The ones within it one by one came forth,
Stalking out awkwardly upon the earth,
And those who watched them were confirmed in faith:

Mysteriuous voyagers from outer space,
Attenuated, golden---shreds of lace
spun into seeds of the sunflower's spinning face---

Light was their speech, spanning mind to mind:
"We come here not believing what we find---
Can it be your desire to leave behind

The earth, which those called angels bless,
Exchanging amplitude for emptiness?"
And in a single voice they answered Yes,

Discord of human melodies all blent
To the unearthly strain of their assent.
"Come then",the Strangers said, and those that were taken, went.

請問這首詩該怎麼詮釋比較好呢? How to paraphrase?

What "myths" does this poem recall?

另外 這首詩與Steven Spielberg的電影Close Encounters of the Third Kind
第三類接觸兩者是否有什麼關聯呢??

謝謝 > <

推 dale:關於如何詮釋……要不要自己先試試看？
推 dale:這首詩在講 UFO 來地球，看到一群等著看 UFO 的人，
推 dale:所以的確跟你提到的電影有關。
