(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Robert Lowell

My Dolphin， you only guide me by surprise，

a captive as Racine， the man of craft，

drawn¹ through his maze² of iron composition

by the incomparable wandering voice of Phèdre.

When I was troubled in mind， you made for my body

caught in its hangman's-knot of sinking lines，

the glassy bowing and scraping of my will. . . .

I have sat and listened to too many

and plotted perhaps too freely with my life，

not avoiding injury to others，

not avoiding injury to myself——

to ask compassion⁶ . . . this book， half fiction，

an eelnet made by man for the eel⁵ fighting

my eyes have seen what my hand did.
