英语诗歌:From The Frontier Of Writing
Seamus Heaney
The tightness and the nilness round that space
when the car stops in the road, the troops inspect
its make and number and, as one bends his face
towards your window, you catch sight of more
on a hill beyond, eyeing with intent
down cradled guns that hold you under cover
and everything is pure interrogation
until a rifle motions and you move
with guarded unconcerned acceleration--
a little emptier, a little spent
as always by that quiver in the self,
subjugated 1, yes, and obedient.
So you drive on to the frontier of writing
where it happens again. The guns on tripods;
the sergeant 2 with his on-off mike repeating
data about you, waiting for the squawk
of clearance 3; the marksman training down
out of the sun upon you like a hawk 4.
And suddenly you're through, arraigned 5 yet freed,
as if you'd passed from behind a waterfall
on the black current of a tarmac road
past armor-plated vehicles, out between
the posted soldiers flowing and receding 6
like tree shadows into the polished windscreen.
