感人情诗：Bright Star
Bright Star
by John Keats
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art---
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And Watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature∝s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth∝s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors---
No-yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow∝d upon my fair love∝s ripening breast,
To feel for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever---or else swoon to death.
灿亮的星
灿亮的星啊，但愿我能如你坚定---
但并非孤独地在夜空闪烁高悬，
睁着一双永不合拢的眼睛，
犹如苦修的隐士彻夜无眠，
凝视海水冲洗尘世的崖岸，
好似牧师行施净体的沐浴，
或正俯瞰下界的荒原与群山
被遮盖在轻轻飘落的雪罩里---
并非这样---却永远鉴定如故，
枕卧在我美丽的爱人的酥胸，
永远能感到它的轻轻的起伏，
永远清醒，在甜蜜的不安中，
永远、永远听着她轻柔的呼吸，
永远这样生活---或昏厥而死去。
这是济慈写给女友芳妮-布劳恩（Fanny Brawne）的一首十四行诗。在本诗中，济慈采用了bright star，the moving waters，snow，love∝s ripening breast等意象，把关于爱情、死亡和永恒的思想融会在一起，表现了生活、死亡、爱情和理想等永恒的主题。 |
