有些景，一些意象，可以存留在心中很久很久，在不經意的時候浮現出來，讓人覺得受到安撫與平靜。例如以下這首描述景緻，以境寫情的短詩。它是美國著名的詩人羅伯‧佛洛斯特(Robert Frost)膾炙人口的作品，被傳誦很久，至今仍是美國文學中的代表作品之一。




雪夕停馬林邊


這是誰家的林子，我想我知道 ，
雖然他的農舍在村子那一邊；
卻不會看到我停留在這兒
望著他的林子積雪有多深。

我的小馬一定感到奇怪：
停在這兒？鄰近又沒村舍——
在森林和一片冰湖之間，
這一年中最昏暗的黃昏。

牠搖了搖胸前的挂鈴，
想問問有沒有弄錯。
此外只聽見一陣微風，
和一陣絨毛般的雪片。

森林真可愛，幽暗而深遠。
可是我還有約待赴，
得趕好多里路才能安睡，
得趕好多里路，才能安睡。



Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
