英语诗歌:Morning Song
英语课
Sylvia Plath
Love set you going like a fat gold watch.
The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry
Took its place among the elements.
Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.
In a drafty museum, your nakedness
Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.
I'm no more your mother
Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow
Effacement 1 at the wind's hand.
All night your moth-breath
Flickers 2 among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:
A far sea moves in my ear.
One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral
In my Victorian nightgown.
Your mouth opens clean as a cat's. The window square
Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try
Your handful of notes;
The clear vowels 3 rise like balloons.
电影制片业； （通常指灯光）闪烁，摇曳( flicker的名词复数 )
- The fire flickers low. 炉火颤动欲灭。
- A strange idea flickers in my mind. 一种奇怪的思想又在我脑中燃烧了。
