Features: Like the great British poet Wordsworth, his long poems are too long, and "The Prelude" can stand alone as a book; his short poems are too short, such as the famous "Daffodils" and "The Immortal Spirit," which, compared to other grand works, even his own "The Prelude," seem reluctant to be called long poems. Since our premise is to include about ten long poems in a relatively ordinary volume of poetry, there has been such a regret for the lost pearls. The lost pearls include the renowned Shakespeare's "Sonnets," Byron's "Don Juan," Goethe's "Faust," Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du mal," Heine's "Germany, a Winter's Tale," Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin," and so on. An ideal foreign long poem anthology should not be a single volume but a series. However, considering the reader's patience and the needs of the times, we still use the method of throwing a small jade to attract a large jade, compromising in the middle.
