英语诗歌:The Thought Fox

（单词翻译）

Ted¹ Hughes

I imagine this midnight moment's forest:

Something else is alive

Besides the clock's loneliness

And this blank page where my fingers move.

Through the window I see no star:

Something more near

Though deeper within darkness

Is entering the loneliness:

Cold, delicately as the dark snow,

A fox's nose touches twig², leaf;

Two eyes serve a movement, that now

And again now, and now, and now

Sets neat prints into the snow

Between trees, and warily³ a lame⁴

Shadow lags by stump⁵ and in hollow

Of a body that is bold to come

Across clearings, an eye,

A widening deepening greenness,

Brilliantly, concentratedly,

Coming about its own business

Till, with sudden sharp hot stink⁶ of fox

It enters the dark hole of the head.

The window is starless still; the clock ticks,

The page is printed.
