《雨仍在落》- 伊迪丝·西特维尔

【Still Falls The Rain】- Edith Sitwell

「英国🇬🇧/1887 - 1964」

雨仍在落——

如人间阴暗般漆黑地下坠

似予我创伤般匀称地铺陈

一千九百四十根银钉

在耶稣的背景板上尽情地盲目


雨仍在落——

落在艺术家地荒野之上

淡然的心搏化作重锤

不断在坟冢间踟蹰着不敬


雨仍在落——

落在尸山血海的绞肉场里

“希望”落寞地长出芽

逐渐地拧作贪婪二字

在未死的脑中蹒跚蠕动


雨仍在落——

落在饿殍虔诚的脚上

烦请受难的圣贤宽恕你我

即使那“戴夫斯(财主)和拉撒路(乞讨者)”

你我皆在雨中

病患的毒疮与财主的黄金无分彼此


雨仍在落——

落在饱受创伤的心肌膜间

饥饿者并无特殊的血液仍在两肋滴淌

在一场自我谋杀的念头里

光在潜意识里只顾奄奄一息

亦如被印上不可理喻的伤口的野兽

瞎眼、哭泣、一鞭一鞭抽打在无助的躯体


雨仍在落——

我面向上帝纵身一跃

是谁把我又一次拉回雨中

再瞧那苍穹中圣徒涌动的鲜血

染进苦难卫士干涸崩溃的心中


某个似人的声音响起

我也曾是躺在牲口下的婴童

“吾爱依旧、真纯依旧、

 放尽吾血、为君而流”

【Still Falls the Rain 】

(by Dame Edith Sitwell)


Still falls the Rain—

Dark as the world of man, black as our loss—

Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails

Upon the Cross.


Still falls the Rain—

With a sound like the pulse of the heart that is changed to the hammer-beat

In the Potter’s Field, and the sound of the impious feet on the Tomb.


Still falls the Rain—

In the Field of Blood where the small hopes breed and the human brain

Nurtures its greed, that worm with the brow of Cain.


Still falls the Rain—

At the feet of the Starved Man hung upon the Cross.

Christ that each day, each night, nails there, have mercy on us—

On Dives and on Lazarus:

Under the Rain the sore and the gold are as one.


Still falls the Rain—

Still falls the Blood from the Starved Man’s wounded Side:

He bears in His Heart all wounds,—those of the light that died,

The last faint spark

In the self-murdered heart, the wounds of the sad uncomprehending dark,

The wounds of the baited bear—

The blind and weeping bear whom the keepers beat

On his helpless flesh… the tears of the hunted hare.


Still falls the Rain—

Then— O Ile leape up to my God: who pulles me doune—

See, see where Christ’s blood streames in the firmament:

It flows from the Brow we nailed upon the tree

Deep to the dying, to the thirsting heart

That holds the fires of the world,—dark-smirched with pain

As Caesar’s laurel crown.

Then sounds the voice of One who like the heart of man

Was once a child who among beasts has lain—

“Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood for thee.”
