经典英文诗歌：The Starling
; p& |( ?3 q! X" b. Y  M* B5 i( C, g
　　Forever the impenetrable wall
　　Of self confines my poor rebellious soul,
; n% O0 q1 y0 W- c　　I never see the towering white clouds roll
　　Before a sturdy wind, save through the small
　　Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall
" y8 U1 c: L# R  `' s& l: x　　With all my outer life a clipped, square hole,
　　Rectangular; a fraction of a scroll
　　Unwound and winding like a worsted ball.
　　My thoughts are grown uneager and depressed
　　Through being always mine, my fancy's wings
6 v% x7 ?. n; H) I) j7 I9 k　　Are moulted and the feathers blown away.
　　I weary for desires never guessed,
# y: N8 B6 g( V) |　　For alien passions, strange imaginings,
* K7 U1 [* g# w9 d: W　　To be some other person for a day.
