“一场谈不上生命的生命......” 直观生命的诗 | 鲁珀特·布鲁...

《死者》- 鲁伯特·布鲁克

【The Deceased】- Rupert Chawner Brooke

「英国/1887 - 1915」

所谓“心灵”

原是由唤作“人类”的灵长生命

衔接喜怒惧哀扭织所成

生来康健喜乐

经遭世间苦楚

再又寻见欢愉

岁月予其善意

时令予其黎明、黄昏、四季色彩

在动静轮换中赏下耳音

也曾短促听闻过人间旋律

再者

予其安眠于苏醒之前、苏醒于安眠之后

爱之初体验、被爱之初体验

骄于物喜、伤于己悲

再于惊心动魄沉淀后的哀叹

获取一次灵感

在寂寞中伤冬悲秋

在孤独中寻声反复

在独处一处中成就欢愉

如今

一切已然终了

一条河

一头在发笑

水的移动被禁止

凝作谈不上冰的白

白折射着谈不上光的光

光在谈不上夜的夜里

散出了谈不上安详的安详

【The Dead】

(by RUPERT BROOKE)

These hearts were woven of human joys and cares,

Washed marvellously with sorrow, swift to mirth.

The years had given them kindness. Dawn was theirs,

And sunset, and the colours of the earth.

These had seen movement, and heard music; known

Slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended;

Felt the quick stir of wonder; sat alone;

Touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is ended.

There are waters blown by changing winds to laughter

And lit by the rich skies, all day. And after,

Frost, with a gesture, stays the waves that dance

And wandering loveliness. He leaves a white

Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance,

A width, a shining peace, under the night.
