电影In her shoes(偷穿高跟鞋)里的经典英文诗

One Art
Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster

这首诗在片中诠释为:"she wants to sound detached;she wants to sound like it doesn't matter,'cause she knows,deep down how bad it's gonna feel to lose

Let Evening Come

    by Jane Kenyon

     Let the light of late afternoon shine through chinks in the barn， moving up the bales as the sun moves down.

     Let the cricket take up chafing as a woman takes up her needles and her yarn. Let evening come.

     Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned in long grass. Let the stars appear and the moon disclose her silver horn.

     Let the fox go back to its sandy den. Let the wind die down. Let the shed go black inside. Let evening come.

     To the bottle in the ditch， to the scoop in the oats， to air in the lung let evening come.

     Let it come， as it will， and don't be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless， so let evening come.

I Carry Your Heart with Me ---- e.e. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling) ? ? i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart ? i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
