And the lesson is always the same,
and young poets recognize this to be one of the most important lessons they can learn:

if you have any idea for a poem,
an exact grid of intent,
you are on the wrong path, a dead-end alley,
at the top of a cliff you haven’t even climbed.

This is a lesson that can only be learned by
trial and error.

而教训总是相同的，年轻的诗人就会认识到这是他们能学到的最重要的教训之一：

如果你想要创作一首诗，有确切的意图或思绪，
你就是走错了路，走去了死胡同里，
走到了你还没有爬上的悬崖的顶端。

这是一个只能通过试验和错误来学习的教训。
