| 词源 | a rose is a rose is a rose. What Gertrude Stein really wrote in her poem “Sacred Emily” was “Rose is a rose is a rose, is a rose,” but her words have been misquoted as the above so often that she might as well have written “a rose is a rose is a rose.” In her prose Gertrude Stein had no use for nouns: “Things once they are named the name does not go on doing anything to them and so why write in nouns.” But in poetry, she felt: “You can love a name and if you love a name then saying that name any number of times only makes you love it more.” And poetry is “really loving the name of anything.” |
