Unit 4 Exploring poetry
Welcome to the unit & Reading (I)
Poetry is an expression of one’s will. What is kept in the heart is the will, but when expressed in words, it is poetry.
—— “Preface to The Book of Songs”
詩者，志之所在也，在心為志，發言為詩。
—— 《毛詩序》
Poetry
A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
Dreams
by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Blow him again to me;
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
