Knopf是Random House之下出版诗与小说的一个部门，情人节的时候他们 在电子报上刊了这首诗送给读者，虽然现在已经过了情人节，不过这首 觉得还满不错，跟大家分享一下。 Love Between Novices Peter Davidson "Love is so simple," we vowed to ourselves, while our nails gnawed into our palms. The body buries its evidence, yet, at the rustle of a nightgown, its eyes flash. We spoke after fifty years of resentful silence, skin now leathery as winter apples, yet the recollection of the groan of our hapless senses still had keenness enough to rattle us like hollow trees. Mismatched yet awkwardly goatish, tender yet thickfingered, we clambered up toward the lip of a volcano reciting advisory endearments, only to miss our footing and slither back into the mere ashen consolations of the bed. Oh my dear, think of my hand, warm on your breast! How long we spent hungering for one another's souls, ignorant that years had still to pass before either soul would awake and arise, arise, arise. --
