Exmoor

分类: 英语诗歌 
by Amy Clampitt

    Lost aboard the roll of Kodac-

    olor that was to have super-

    seded all need to remember

    Somerset were: a large flock

    of winter-bedcover-thick-

    pelted sheep up on the moor;

    a stile, a church spire,

    and an excess, at Porlock,

    of tenderly barbarous antique

    thatch in tandem with flower-

    beds, relentlessly pictur-

    esque, along every sidewalk;

    a millwheel; and a millbrook

    running down brown as beer.

    Exempt from the disaster.

    however, as either too quick

    or too subtle to put on rec-

    ord, were these: the flutter

    of, beside the brown water,

    with a butterfly-like flick

    of fan-wings, a bright black-

    and-yellow wagtail; at Dulver-

    ton on the moor, the flavor

    of the hot toasted teacake

    drowning in melted butter

    we had along with a bus-tour-

    load of old people; the driver

    's way of smothering every r

    in the wool of a West Countr-

    y diphthong, and as a Somer-

    set man, the warmth he had for

    the high, wild, heather-

    dank wold he drove us over.
