Your skin like dawn / Maya Angelou

Your skin like dawn

Mine like musk

One paints the beginning

of a certain end.

The other, the end of a

sure beginning.

Maya Angelou

Hold fast to dreams/by Langston Hughes

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams

For "if dreams die"

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

by Langston Hughes

شاعر آمریکایی لنکستون هیوز

«رؤیاها»

باور کنید رؤیا را]

گر از کف روند رؤیاها

پرنده‌ی بال شکسته‌ای‌‌ست زندگی

.نمانده (بدون) بال و پر

باور کنید رؤیا را

آن‌سان که روند از دست، رؤیاها

[.زمین برفی و فسرده‌ای است زندگی

--

To accomplish great things, we must not only act

but also dream; not only plan, but also believe

A dream doesn't become reality through magic

it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication

self-discipline, and effort

?Lewis Carroll/ which way I ought to go from here

Quotable Quote

Lewis Carroll

"Alice: Would you tell me, please,

which way I ought to go from here?

The Cheshire Cat:

That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.

"Alice: I don't much care where.

The Cheshire Cat:

Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.

"Alice:

"So long as I get somewhere."

The Cheshire Cat:

Oh, you're sure to do that,

if you olny walk long enough.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

مَخْلَصِ کلام:

وقتی نمیدونی کجا میخوای بری

چه فرقی میکنه از کدام راه بری.(از هر راهی بری به هدف رسیدی!!)

آنگاه که بتوانم دل خوشی بخشم قلبی را/ If I can stop a heart from breaking

If I can stop one heart from breaking

I shall not live in Vain

If I can ease one Life the Aching

Or cool one in Pain

--

Or help one fainting Robin

Unto his Nest again,

I shall not live in Vain.

Emily Dickinson

-----رنگ‌ها بخشی از فهم شعر است-----

آنگاه که بتوانم دل‌خوشی بخشم، قلبی را

بیهوده نزیسته‌ام.

آنگاه که بتوانم بکاهم، رنج یک زندگی را

یا دلاسایی کنم، دردمندی را

--

یا یاری رسانم بینوایی را

تا دوباره به کاشانه‌اش بازگردد،

بیهوده نزیسته‌ام.

امیلی دیکنسون

آنگاه که= پس از آنکه، بعد از آنکه

----------------------

بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند

که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند

چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار

دگر عضوها را نماند قرار

تو کز محنت دیگران بی‌غمی

نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی/ سعدی

Lift every voice and sing /James Weldon Johnson

Simple Poem

The Black National Anthem

Lift every voice and sing

Lift every voice and sing

Till earth and heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise

High as the listening skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,

Let us march on till victory is won...

By James Weldon Johnson
