※ 引述《alwain (日船小丸子)》之铭言： : 不晓得来这里问合不合适 : 是这样的 : 小妹为了重拾自己学习英文的动机 加油! ^^ : 所以想要找一些优美的散文或散文诗阅读 : 没有想要直接读诗的原因是因为小妹的文学造诣不佳 : 所以英诗的格律等等可能会让我雾茫茫 或许可以选一些 open form 的诗? : 所以来请教各位 : 有没有适合一般大学非外文系生阅读的优美散文或散文诗 : 谢谢(*^_^*) 嗯 ... 不确定这首算不算.. October Lambs The tenth of October, the sky overcast, sultry with the storms that leave the palm-lined street strewn with huge fronds, the pale green Mediterranean roaring almost like a proper ocean, its usual gentle swell lost in the winds that stir these nights with thunderless heat lightning. Everywhere, the fall's the time for raking. Only here it's unripe dates and fat fig leaves, brown and curled like fists -- not the red and golden blaze of maples, sycamore. The rake looks strange beside my swim suit, flesh I cover when I haul stuffed bags outside the gates, careful not to shock the families headed for the beach, girls with their hair wrapped in Muslim scarves, the maids from the richer houses with their white safsaris draped on heads, knotted across a work dress. Some herder's descending Byrsa Hill with his sheep and goats cropping whatever grows outside the walls surrounding villas, in suburban Carthage, where the ruins of Dido's city and the Romans who sowed her streets with salt still sprout between the Arab homes. I see lambs with the ewes, new-born size, still suckling. Lamps in October, the seasons confusing as Arabic books printed back to front, in this country I have never learned to read.
