这本书值得看看。里面收录了两首济慈的十四行，以前都没读过。On seeing the Elgin Marbles和why did I laught to-night? No voice will tell. 我还读了Sir philip sidney的几首，很喜欢。

埃文河天鹅

My spirit is too weak; mortality
Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep,
And each imagined pinnacle and steep
Of godlike hardship tells me I must die
Like a sick eagle looking at the sky.
Yet 'tis a gentle luxury to weep,
That I have not the cloudy winds to keep
Fresh for the opening of the morning's eye.
Such dim-conceived glories of the brain
Bring round the heart an indescribable feud;
So do these wonders a most dizzy pain,
That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude
Wasting of old Time—with a billowy main,
A sun, a shadow of a magnitude.

[On Seeing The Elgin Marbles]

Notes

1] Elgin Marbles: fragmentary sculptures taken largely from the frieze and pediment of the Parthenon in Athens by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin (1766-1841), sold to the British government, and placed in the British Museum in 1816.

13] main: sea.

  Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell
  No God, no demon of severe response
  Deigns to reply from heaven or from hell
  Then to my human heart I turn at once:
  Heart, thou and I are here, sad and alone,
  Say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain!
  O darkness! darkness! Forever must I moan
  To question heaven and hell and heart in vain?
  Why did I laugh? I know this being's lease
  My fancy to it's utmost blisses spreads
  Yet would I on this very midnight cease
  And all the world's gaudy ensigns see in shreds
  Verse, fame and beauty are intense indeed
  But death intenser, death is life's high meed.
