经典英文诗歌：The Starling

　　Forever the impenetrable wall
4 `4 E) }- b5 s2 T+ u6 N4 a- A　　Of self confines my poor rebellious soul,
5 G2 ]% d% i- A. ^7 S4 z　　I never see the towering white clouds roll
　　Before a sturdy wind, save through the small
6 z& d1 F/ |, o2 [8 I, h' @　　Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall
　　With all my outer life a clipped, square hole,
9 h" Q+ j1 q9 l2 Z　　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
　　Are moulted and the feathers blown away.
' w) A+ A& A5 R2 @　　I weary for desires never guessed,
　　For alien passions, strange imaginings,
　　To be some other person for a day.
( x2 t; [1 B- I1 _; c. F) E
