经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
( ]6 s/ Z; d: W( w  B; L  _, {　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
　　Setting in splendour every night has won
& ~" P/ H( m5 e9 P! m　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
: R- R- `2 ~5 n' w) s6 K　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
