海
在荒凉的海岸边,大海发出永恒的絮叨,
高涨的波涛灌入千万个穴巢,
直到魔法女神赫卡提用咒语
在所有洞窟中,留下千古余音袅袅。
人们也常看到大海的温驯与安详,
即使是上次天风肆虐逞强,
吹绽了最小的贝壳,在海滩上,
几天之内它也不会改变模样。
哦,双眼疲惫烦躁的人们,
请放眼饱览大海的恣肆狂洋;
哦,两耳为喧嚣所困,以及
听腻了太多靡靡之音的人们,
请坐到古洞旁边来俯首冥想,
直到霍然惊起,恍若有海妖在歌唱。
秋颂
1
雾气洋溢、果实圆熟的秋,
你和成熟的太阳成为友伴;
你们密谋用累累的珠球,
缀满茅屋檐下的葡萄藤蔓;
使屋前的老树背负着苹果,
让熟味透进果实的心中,
使葫芦胀大,鼓起了榛子壳,
好塞进甜核;又为了蜜蜂
一次一次开放过迟的花朵,
使它们以为日子将永远暖和,
因为夏季早填满它们的粘巢。
2
谁不经常看见你伴着谷仓?
在田野里也可以把你找到,
弥有时随意坐在打麦场上,
让发丝随着簸谷的风轻飘;
有时候,为.花香所沉迷,
你倒卧在收割一半的田垄,
让镰刀歇在下一畦的花旁;
或者.像拾穗人越过小溪,
你昂首背着谷袋,投下倒影,
或者就在榨果架下坐几点钟,
你耐心地瞧着徐徐滴下的酒浆。
3
啊.春日的歌哪里去了?但不要
想这些吧,你也有你的音乐——
当波状的云把将逝的一天映照,
以胭红抹上残梗散碎的田野,
这时啊,河柳下的一群小飞虫
就同奏哀音,它们忽而飞高,
忽而下落,随着微风的起灭;
篱下的蟋蟀在歌唱,在园中
红胸的知更鸟就群起呼哨;
而群羊在山圈里高声默默咩叫;
丛飞的燕子在天空呢喃不歇。
(查良铮译)
To Autumn
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft,
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
《秋颂》:此诗写于1819年9月19日。1819年整个夏天济慈都在忙着写作长诗《赫披里昂》,到了秋天则常去温彻斯特的附近原野里散步。9月21日济慈在给友人的信里说: “现在这这季节多美――空气多好!凉爽而适度,真的......最纯净的天空......我从没像现在这样喜欢收割以后的田野――是的,它胜过春天的冷绿,不知怎的,布满茬儿的田地看起来很温暖感,就像有些画看起来很温暖一样。这在我星期天散步时给了我深刻印象,于是我就写了它。”
《秋颂》是一篇歌颂大自然美景的佳作,体现出了作者对秋天的独特感受和喜爱。这首诗第一节描写丰收前的植物世界,集中描写秋色。第二节写秋收景象,将秋天拟人化,集中描写了秋人。第三节写秋天时鸟兽鱼虫的世界,集中描写了秋声。
希腊古瓮颂
你委身“寂静”的、完美的处子,
受过了“沉默”和“悠久”的抚育,
呵,田园的史家,你竟能铺叙
一个如花的故事,比诗还瑰丽:
在你的形体上,岂非缭绕着
古老的传说,以绿叶为其边缘;
讲着人,或神,敦陂或阿卡狄?
呵,是怎样的人,或神!在舞乐前
多热烈的追求!少女怎样地逃躲!
怎样的风笛和鼓谣!怎样的狂喜!
听见的乐声虽好,但若听不见
却更美;所以,吹吧,柔情的风笛;
不是奏给耳朵听,而是更甜,
它给灵魂奏出无声的乐曲;
树下的美少年呵,你无法中断
你的歌,那树木也落不了叶子;
卤莽的恋人,你永远、永远吻不上,
虽然够接近了--但不必心酸;
她不会老,虽然你不能如愿以偿,
你将永远爱下去,她也永远秀丽!
呵,幸福的树木!你的枝叶
不会剥落,从不曾离开春天;
幸福的吹笛人也不会停歇,
他的歌曲永远是那么新鲜;
呵,更为幸福的、幸福的爱!
永远热烈,正等待情人宴飨,
永远热情地心跳,永远年轻;
幸福的是这一切超凡的情态:
它不会使心灵餍足和悲伤,
没有炽热的头脑,焦渴的嘴唇。
这些人是谁呵,都去赶祭祀?
这作牺牲的小牛,对天鸣叫,
你要牵它到哪儿,神秘的祭司?
花环缀满着它光滑的身腰。
是从哪个傍河傍海的小镇,
或哪个静静的堡寨山村,
来了这些人,在这敬神的清早?
呵,小镇,你的街道永远恬静;
再也不可能回来一个灵魂
告诉人你何以是这么寂寥。
哦,希腊的形状!唯美的观照!
上面缀有石雕的男人和女人,
还有林木,和践踏过的青草;
沉默的形体呵,你象是“永恒”
使人超越思想:呵,冰冷的牧歌!
等暮年使这一世代都凋落,
只有你如旧;在另外的一些
忧伤中,你会抚慰后人说:
“美即是真,真即是美,”这就包括
你们所知道、和该知道的一切。
夜莺颂
1.
我的心在痛,困顿和麻木
刺进了感官,有如饮过毒鸠,
又象是刚刚把鸦片吞服,
于是向着列斯忘川下沉:
并不是我嫉妒你的好运,
而是你的快乐使我太欢欣--
因为在林间嘹亮的天地里,
你呵,轻翅的仙灵,
你躲进山毛榉的葱绿和荫影,
放开歌喉,歌唱着夏季。
2.
哎,要是有一口酒!那冷藏
在地下多年的清醇饮料,
一尝就令人想起绿色之邦,
想起花神,恋歌,阳光和舞蹈!
要是有一杯南国的温暖
充满了鲜红的灵感之泉,
杯沿明灭着珍珠的泡沫,
给嘴唇染上紫斑;
哦,我要一饮而离开尘寰,
和你同去幽暗的林中隐没:
3.
远远地、远远隐没,让我忘掉
你在树叶间从不知道的一切,
忘记这疲劳、热病、和焦躁,
这使人对坐而悲叹的世界;
在这里,青春苍白、消瘦、死亡,
而“瘫痪”有几根白发在摇摆;
在这里,稍一思索就充满了
忧伤和灰色的绝望,
而“美”保持不住明眸的光彩,
新生的爱情活不到明天就枯凋。
4.
去吧!去吧!我要朝你飞去,
不用和酒神坐文豹的车驾,
我要展开诗歌底无形羽翼,
尽管这头脑已经困顿、疲乏;
去了!呵,我已经和你同往!
夜这般温柔,月后正登上宝座,
周围是侍卫她的一群星星;
但这儿却不甚明亮,
除了有一线天光,被微风带过,
葱绿的幽暗,和苔藓的曲径。
5.
我看不出是哪种花草在脚旁,
什么清香的花挂在树枝上;
在温馨的幽暗里,我只能猜想
这个时令该把哪种芬芳
赋予这果树,林莽,和草丛,
这白枳花,和田野的玫瑰,
这绿叶堆中易谢的紫罗兰,
还有五月中旬的娇宠,
这缀满了露酒的麝香蔷薇,
它成了夏夜蚊蚋的嗡萦的港湾。
6.
我在黑暗里倾听:呵,多少次
我几乎爱上了静谧的死亡,
我在诗思里用尽了好的言辞,
求他把我的一息散入空茫;
而现在,哦,死更是多么富丽:
在午夜里溘然魂离人间,
当你正倾泻着你的心怀
发出这般的狂喜!
你仍将歌唱,但我却不再听见--
你的葬歌只能唱给泥草一块。
7.
永生的鸟呵,你不会死去!
饥饿的世代无法将你蹂躏;
今夜,我偶然听到的歌曲
曾使古代的帝王和村夫喜悦;
或许这同样的歌也曾激荡
露丝忧郁的心,使她不禁落泪,
站在异邦的谷田里想着家;
就是这声音常常
在失掉了的仙域里引动窗扉:
一个美女望着大海险恶的浪花。
8.
呵,失掉了!这句话好比一声钟
使我猛醒到我站脚的地方!
别了!幻想,这骗人的妖童,
不能老耍弄它盛传的伎俩。
别了!别了!你怨诉的歌声
流过草坪,越过幽静的溪水,
溜上山坡;而此时,它正深深
埋在附近的溪谷中:
噫,这是个幻觉,还是梦寐?
那歌声去了:--我是睡?是醒?
一、
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk
Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,--
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.
二、
O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting of Flora and the country green,
Dance, and Provencal song, and sunburnt mirth!
O for a beaker full of the warm South,
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
And purple-stained mouth
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
And with thee fade away into the forest dim
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.
Away! away! for I will fly to thee,
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards,
But on the viewless wings of Poesy,
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards
Already with thee! tender is the night,
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne,
Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays;
But here there is no light,
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways.
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs,
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet
Wherewith the seasonable month endows
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves;
And mid-May's eldest child,
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain--
To thy high requiem become a sod.
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!
No hungry generations tread thee down;
The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor and clown:
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
The same that oft-times hath
Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell
To toll me back from thee to my sole self!
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well
As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf.
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:--Do I wake or sleep?
《夜莺颂》:此诗写于1819年5月,济慈23岁时。当时诗人寄住在友人查尔斯的家里,查尔斯家有一颗李树。那年春天来了一只夜莺,夜里常常在屋子附近唱歌。那年,济慈的一个兄弟刚刚死去,而诗人还处于与范妮•布恩小姐的热恋中。所以,济慈常常想的两件事就是爱情的甜蜜和自己死去的时间。这样,诗人心中充满对生命的留恋和对无常的伤感。一天早晨,济慈用过早饭,自己一人在树下的餐桌旁坐了几小时,在几页纸上写了许多文字。后来经过朋友整理,就成了这首脍炙人口的《夜莺颂》。
