爱情比忘却厚      

卡明斯

　　爱情比忘却厚
　　比回忆薄
　　比潮湿的波浪少
　　比失败多

　　它最痴癫最疯狂
　　但比起所有
　　比海洋更深的海洋
　　它更为长久

　　爱情总比胜利少见
　　却比活着多些
　　不大于无法开始
　　不小于谅解

　　它最明朗最清醒
　　而比起所有
　　比天空更高的天空
　　它更为不朽

大学时代曾听一个老师朗诵过卡明斯的这首诗歌，这位20世纪美国现代主义诗歌的佼佼者，在诗歌的语言和形式上尝试创造出了一种全新的卡明斯模式的诗歌。

Love is More Thicker than Forget
by E.E. Cummings

Love is more thicker than forget
More thinner than recall
More seldom than a wave is wet
More frequent than to fail
It is most mad and moonly
And less it shall unbe
Than all the sea which only
Is deeper than the sea
Love is less always than to win
Less never than alive
Less bigger than the least begin
Less littler than forgive
It is most sane and sunly
And more it cannot die
Than all the sky which only
Is higher than the sky
