关于《冰淇淋皇帝》我认为我应该把《冰淇淋皇帝》选为我诗歌中自己喜欢的诗。这首诗披着刻意平凡的外衣,但对我来说包含着某种诗的本质上的华丽;那就是我喜欢它的原因。我不记得这首诗是在什么环境下写成的了,只记得产生它的精神状态。我不喜欢吹毛求疵,而是喜欢让自己放开手脚。回头来看,这种诗歌最令人愉快,因为它们似乎比其他诗歌更能保持新鲜。它表达了我头脑里当时所想的,我对它的操纵可能也是最小的。(《五十位诗人:一本美国人自主的选集》,1933年)
About Ice Cream Emperor I think I should choose “Ice Cream Emperor” as my favorite poem in my poetry. This poem is in a deliberately ordinary coat, but for me it contains the essence of a certain kind of poem; that’s why I like it. I do not remember the circumstances under which the poem was written, only remember the mental state that gave birth to it. I do not like nitpicking, but I like to let myself go. Looking back, the poems are the most enjoyable because they seem to be more fresh than other poems. It expresses what I thought in my head at the time, and my manipulation of it may be the smallest.
