诗歌: In Examination

英语自学网

　　In Examination
        　　Lo! from quiet skies
        　　In through the window my Lord the Sun!
        　　And my eyes
        　　Were dazzled and drunk with the misty gold，
        　　The golden glory that drowned and crowned me
        　　Eddied and swayed through the room . . .
        　　Around me，
        　　To left and to right，
        　　Hunched figures and old，
        　　Dull blear-eyed scribbling fools， grew fair，
        　　Ringed round and haloed with holy light.
        　　Flame lit on their hair，
        　　And their burning eyes grew young and wise，
        　　Each as a God， or King of kings，
        　　White-robed and bright
        　　(Still scribbling all);
        　　And a full tumultuous murmur of wings
        　　Grew through the hall;
        　　And I knew the white undying Fire，
        　　And， through open portals，
        　　Gyre on gyre，
        　　Archangels and angels， adoring， bowing，
        　　And a Face unshaded . . .
        　　Till the light faded;
        　　And they were but fools again， fools unknowing，
        　　Still scribbling， blear-eyed and stolid immortals.
