Neither out Far nor in Deep
Robert Frost
The people along the sandAll turn and look one way.They turn their back on the land.They look at the sea all day.
As long as it takes to passA ship keeps raising its hull;The wetter ground like glassReflects a standing gull.
The land may vary more;But wherever the truth may be--The es ashore,And the people look at the sea.
They cannot look out far.They cannot look in deep.But when was that ever a barTo any watch they keep?
人们走上沙滩转身朝着一个方向。他们背对着陆地整日凝望海洋。当一只船从远处过来船身便不断升高;潮湿的沙滩像明镜映出一只静立的鸟。也许陆地变化更多;但无论真相在哪边,海水涌上岸来,人们凝望着海洋。他们望不太深。他们望不太远。但有什么能够遮挡他们凝望的目光?
不深也不远
