有一句话,我们总把它挂在嘴边:生活不止眼前和苟且,还是诗和远方。远方到底有多远我不知道,我只有诗歌。今天要分享的是爱尔兰诗人叶芝的作品,是治愈疲惫的良药,读完后嘴角会不禁往上扬,生活有苦,诗里有美。
湖心岛茵尼斯弗利岛
我就要起身走了,到茵尼斯弗利岛,造座小茅屋在那里,枝条编墙糊上泥;我要养上一箱蜜蜂,种上九行到豆角,独住在蜂声嗡嗡的林间草地。那儿安宁会降临我,安宁慢慢儿滴下来,从晨的面纱滴落到蛐蛐歇唱的地方;那儿半夜闪着微光,中午染着紫红光彩,而黄昏织满了红雀的翅膀。
我就要起身走了,因为从早到晚从夜到朝我听得湖水在不断地轻轻拍岸;不论我站在马路上还是在灰色人行道,总听得它在我心灵深处呼唤。
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,And live alone in the bee-loud glade.And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day,I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
这首诗的每一段都很有画面感,在岛上建一座茅屋、养蜜蜂、种豆角、独居林间、享受从早到晚的安宁、从中午到黄昏天边的微光、湖水拍打岸边。第一句:我就要起身走了,非常引人入胜,体现了诗人对田园生活的迫切向往。诗人渴望得到安宁,谁又不是呢?
奋斗吧!安宁不会从天而降,安宁来自内心的信仰和笃定,安宁是狂风暴雨后的平静和清新。你想要的生活,总有一天会得到的。
