在《荆棘鸟》这首歌中欣赏诗歌《荆棘鸟》
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in his life
More sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth
From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one
Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine.
And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale
One superlative song, existence the price.
But the whole world stills to listen, and God in his Heaven smiles
Because only chastened bitterness, can get the best things.
现在才知道，科林.麦卡洛笔下那只身扑往尖刺的荆棘鸟，它毕生的宿命，就是用让世界生灵都落泪的歌声，去唤醒那些堕落的灵魂，用自己璀璨的生命，去挽救即将颓废的世界，荆棘鸟的一生，为绽放而绽放。
