Happiness is an opened book of poems , poems about ordinary alleys under the sky of the city .

幸福就是一本摊开的诗篇，关于在城市的天空下，那些寻常巷陌的诗。

Most of these poems , though , like the kingdoms that were so often their themes , no longer exist .

不过，这些诗篇中的大多数与它们描述的那些王国一道湮没在历史的长河中。

Covering the period from 1968 to 2011 , " yellow tulips " , mr fenton 's latest collection of new and previously published poems , traces his constant movement from place to place .

芬顿的最新诗集《黄色郁金香》收录了他1968年至2011年间出版的新旧诗篇，从这些诗，我们可以看到他在这段时间辗转于不同地方的经历。

They included all the songs and stories he had heard from his father , the poems recited by his teachers , the alphabet-words stuck up round the kitchen by his mother , glittering fragments of hopkins and joyce and yeats .

这浩瀚的词海来源于他从父亲那儿听来的一切歌谣和故事，来源于老师朗诵的诗篇，来源于母亲粘贴在厨房的字母表，来源于霍普金斯、乔伊斯和叶芝所留下的璀璨绚烂的残篇断章。
