就是在"A Bestiary for my duaghters, Mary and Katharine"裡的節錄
Unicorn
The unicorn is supposed
To seek a virgin,lay
His head in her lap, and weep,
Whereupon she steals his horn.
Virginity is what is
Known as a privation. It is
Very difficult to find
Any justification for
Something that doesn't exist.
However, in your young days
You might meet a unicorn.
There are not many better
Things than a unicorn horn.
這一首我是真的讀了好多遍也查了很多資料
不過始終不懂它整體的意思
麻煩讀過或有研究過的給我解答一下
感激呀
還有同樣也是出自於A Bestiary的以下有些問題想請教:
Raccoon
The raccoon wears a black mask,
And he washes everything
Before he eats it.If you
Give him a cube of sugar,
He'll wash it away and weep.
Some of life's sweetest pleasures
Can be enjoyed only if You don't mind a little dirt.
Here a false face won't help you.
我比較疑惑的是最後一句 為啥他要說
"Here a false face won't help you"?
這跟第一句"The raccoon wears a black mask"有什麼關係嗎?
好難懂耶 可以麻煩知道的說一下嗎?
Goat
G stands for goat and also
For genius. If you are one,
Learn from the other, for he
Combines domestication,
Venery,and independence.
請問一下第三行的for he的he是指goat嗎?
如果是的話為什麼goat跟Venery還有Independence有關?
還是我都搞錯了 實在是不懂他想表達的意思是什麼耶
麻煩解惑一下呀
感激不盡呀
