~~关于汤姆.波尔~~

1950年出生于爱丁堡，专职诗人，发表多部诗集，均获得不同凡响的回应。
除了潜心创作诗集外，他也同时编著青少年小说，儿童绘本，以及旅游传记。
这本《世界为谁存在？》，是47岁那年波尔到非洲旅行，
在旅途中他突然非常想念远在英国的两个孩子，他想要为他们写一个故事。
这位父亲站在非洲的大地上，举目所见映入眼里的景象，
就是那些在草原上奔驰，在临街越冬，在说中栖息，和他同样有着生命气息的虫鱼鸟兽们。
这让他不禁发出这样的感叹:
"世界为谁存在？“
想到与他一起共享天地的动物们，
让这本书除了有着身为父亲对孩子的亲情爱恋外，同是有着更多对自然界的尊崇。
~~插画欣赏~~
关注这本书是因为其中美轮美奂的插画，每一画都出自罗伯.英潘绝妙之笔。
这次就不赘述了，有机会专门写一篇关于这位澳洲艺术家。
很大一个哲学
可是我们好像的确都没有想过，我们活着的这个世界，他们是为我存在的！
我们没有那样豪迈：太阳为我照耀。
我们没有那么浪漫：鸟儿在唱给我听。
那很大很大的林子怎么是为我生长？
那像童话的漂亮房子里不是住着别的人吗？
可是现在我们突然全知道，它们都是为我存在？
这可真是让我们听见了一个大哲学。
它十分信服地让我们确认了，一个生命正是具备这般的大拥有的。
一个诗意的人正是心怀这样的大热情的。
这样的豪迈着，就这样地捧起非常多的幸福了。
这么一个渺小的人，这么短促的一生，
就很丰富很丰富了，一年四季都有大尽情。

至每一个鲜活生动的生命
Who is the world for?
the small boy asks his father
as they kneel side by side
in a rumpled nest of blankets.
Why, the father replies,
the world is a very big place.
And somewhere under its stars~
way,way out there~on a cold mountainside,
bear cubs curl up beside their mothers in dark warm caves;
lion cubs stretch out beside their fathers on a hot and dusty plain;
Arctic hares doze with slipper-soft babes in secret burrows of snow;
and closer, much closer to home~
listen~
an owl hoots to her baby from the middle of the dark grenn wood.
The world is for all of these.
The boy leans into his father,
as together they look out into the big starry night.
And is the world for people too~
like me and you? he asks.
Oh yes, answers his father,
wherever they maay live,
the world is for people too.
The world is for everyone!
But my world is here~with you.
and our world has parks for you
to play in and rivers for you to cross.
It has hills for you to climb up high
and castles and seashores to explore.
Already we have seen so much
yet we've much, much more
to see and do.
