Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
《風雪夜 林邊?！肥且皇字脑姼琛懙氖茄┮姑谰埃繉懙氖鞘刂Z如一？寫的是人生不得不向前行？不同的讀者會有完全不同的理解。這大概就是文學批評中所說的“接受美學”的觀點吧。
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
—— Robert Frost
