- 迎向大海,聽你說
未及解識的記憶髣?。
楊牧〈七星潭〉(1996)
I turn my face to the sea, hearing you talk
Of unexplained phantasms of memory.
—Yang Mu, “Qixingtan” (1996)
- phantasm 幻像;幻景;幽靈
Phantasms are illusions that look like transparent versions of the caster.
- 楊牧所創造出的「楊牧現象」,讓很多創作者會覺得楊牧是一個很難跨越的標竿,就像艾略特之於英美文學一樣
Just as T.S. Eliot remains a towering figure in English-language literature, many writers today feel humbled by the “Yang Mu phenomenon.”
- towering 高聳的;傑出的,卓越的
His towering craftsmanship was more than deep feeling and agile fingers.
