(48)少女和大海
一
蔚蓝的大海自由奔放
海面上涌起轻波细浪
一波一波柔和地拍打着海岸
在嶙峋的礁石和沙滩上
冲击起片片的白沫
跳荡的涟漪
向岸边那棕榈树下的少女
荡漾起爱的潮汐
低鸣着爱的喧响
温情的喋喋细语
二
你披散着秀美的黑发
赤裸着洁白的芳体
一串串银铃般的笑声
在身后的沙滩上留下一排排的足印
轻柔的海水吻着你一个个柔嫩的足趾
双足踏在柔软的海沙上
海水吻你的足踝……膝盖……双股……吻……
吻你那高挺的双乳
轻轻将你托起
“啊!我漂起来了!”
你悚惧地轻呼
海水吻你那柔润的唇
秀美的面庞
你扬起高昂的的头颅
一甩头发上的水珠
波塞冬哈哈大笑
一个浪头将你淹没
大海狂吻你那一根根秀发
海水浸透你的全身
将你紧紧地的搂抱,翻腾
你从浪里钻出
“啊!我……”
你惊骇地轻呼
一波巨浪将你高高托起
你展开你洁白的芳体
仅仅偎着大海的胸脯
你拥抱、狂吻
在大海的怀抱里如醉如狂地嬉耍
浪头一起一伏将你越举越高
“啊!我飘……飘起来了!飘……!”
你春心荡漾地高叫
你吞几口海水
还给大海一串欣喜的泪
大海将你
拥抱、振荡、酣醉……
你那洁白的芳体在蓝色的水波上
绽开一朵诡奇的花朵
三
大海将波浪平息
一波一波轻轻荡漾
将少女推向岸边
你全身疲软地躺在沙滩上
和煦的阳光将你拂照轻柔的风儿吹你憩息
三五只白鸥在海面上翻飞
大海一片静寂
海水似春晨平稳的湖面
自由岸边的波浪
在温情的吻着礁石的每一个?
沙滩上的贝壳,那粒粒的沙晶和
浸在水里你那半只足上的一个个足趾
大海深情地守护着你睡眠
用深沉的蓝眼睛
欣赏你这顽皮的少女
一尊沉睡的维纳斯
想像着在黎明和夕色中和你
相亲、相吻、相祈慕、相拥抱
在雷鸣电闪和暴风雨中和你
相爱、相敬、相患难、向需要
四
海波反射着夕阳的血光
海面像亿万金红色的光环在颤动地闪烁
连成
一片片紫金色的大漠
映衬着海岸那酣睡的裸体少女
躺在柔软的海沙上的维纳斯
那低头沉睡的身姿
浓密的秀发
阳光掩映中憩闭的美目
梦幻般的额
安琪儿般的腮、鼻和嘴
圣母般的手儿
突挺的酥胸、腰际弧形的游移
崎岖突兀的肩和润滑的腿腹
那秀美庄严的裸体是一个宇宙
那些壮阔的海涛山岳
大地、原野、冰川、沙漠
仿佛要诱使勇士们去探险航行、漂泊
五
波塞冬开始舒展他踌躇满志的快意
阵阵兴奋
他推波助澜,掀起阵阵波涛
开始用浪涌去威猛地冲击海岸
唤醒岸边酣睡的少女
试试她的勇气
大海在灿烂的夕照中闪耀
浪涛在狂啸的狮吼中冲向海岸
嶙峋的礁石激起阵阵的战栗
号叫着抵抗
像固守城池的勇士
一次次撞碎还的鳞片
高高地溅起弥漫着血光的浪沫
波塞冬受到抵抗
一阵一阵掀起更大的浪涌
大海向岸边涌来了阵阵气势磅礴的惊涛骇浪
排山倒海,摧毁万千
整个海面在夕阳的血色中
向一片燃烧的大火
遮天蔽日,狂呼怒吼
仿佛要把宇宙苍穹烧个精光
要把万顷染血的海水搅个天翻地覆
六
你在春梦中咯咯笑醒
伸一伸懒腰
像一只精灵的猫
你甩甩头发,拂去海浪溅来的海水
笑吟吟地看着狂啸的大海
直到大海恢复到黄昏时的宁静
流苏般的雾气袭来
暮霭徐徐地飘升
海波轻柔地舔着沙滩和礁石
仿佛在致以歉意和爱抚爱抚
仿佛波塞冬在向少女温情地喃喃低语
夕阳堕入了大海
寂静的海面渐渐黑暗
一条银光闪闪的光带开始颤动
笔直飘向无级的远海那
水天相连的月亮
那儿传来隆隆的声响
那时波塞冬在海底的吼声
从外星球传来的回声
七
少女喜爱大海那反复无常的激情
时而若吼狮的威猛,火山爆发的震撼
时而若情人的喃呢,小夜曲的温柔
总是那么跌宕起伏,变幻莫测
那是诗的化身,诗的源泉
多少诗人为之讴歌
多少勇士为之捐躯
多少懦夫葬身海底……

48) The Girl and the Sea
1
The blue sea is wide and free
With light waves pushing its surface
Gently patting the shore
Making foam on the beach
And on the rocks
The water ripples forward
To a palm tree where a girl stands
Carrying a message of love
In a soft whisper
Of sounds
Your black hair pours down covering
Your pure white body
A trail of ringing giggles follows your footprints
Along the beach
The water kisses each of your delicate toes
And your feet
Then your ankles, knees, buttocks
And your full breasts before
Raising you up with ease
“Oh, I’m going to float!”
You called out, surprised
The water kisses your soft lips
Your pretty face, and
You try to toss up your head
Shaking off the water
Poseidon laughs and
Covers you with a huge wave
The sea kisses each strand of your hair
And has soaked you
Holding you in tumbles
Yet you dig yourself out
2
“Oh, my …”
You cry in frightened wonder before
A huge wave carries you to such a height
That your beautiful body is fully exposed
And momentarily you turn to the breast of the sea
As if to hug it, to kiss it
To play crazily in the lock of the sea’s embrace
The waves fall and rise and raise you higher
“Oh, I am floating, I am flying!”
You shout in happiness
You swallow a mouthful of water
And in return shed some happy tears
The sea hugs you
Shakes you and raises your pure white body
A flower of wonder blooming
Upon the surface of the blue water
3
The sea calms its waves
Which softly push forward
And push the girl to the shore
You lie on the beach exhausted
Exposed to the sunshine and the breeze
Gulls fly over the sea that
Has become peaceful and silent
Like the surface of a lake on a spring morning
Yet the wave that pushes ashore
Kisses the shells
Every single grain of crystal-like sand
And each of your toes
The sea guards you while you sleep
Enjoys watching you the
Energetic girl
A sleeping Venus
And the sea imagines that in the morning
And the night it can kiss you, hug you, and need you
Even when
Thunder storms come
4
The waves reflect the bloody light of the setting sun
The surface covered with millions of golden trays
Glistening, trembling, to make patches of
Deserts in purple gold
Part of the background of the sleeping girl
Naked on the soft sand
Her posture one of sound sleep
Thick is her long smooth hair
And the sunshine
Makes her an angel at rest
Such a wonderful creature
Her chin, nose, mouth
Her hands
Her full white breasts, smooth curves
Her shoulders, waist, legs
Making a solemnly miraculous universe of
Mountains, valley, forests
Wild fields, glaciers, deserts, which
Attract explorers to sink in and travel
5
Poseidon begins to feel the pleasure
And feel the desire to
Stir the waves, huge waves to
Land on the shore where the girl sleeps
To wake her up
To see how courageous she is
The bright setting sun shines over the sea
That begins to roar like lions at the beach
The rugged rocks tremble in excitement
Shout back in resistance
Like warriors defending the castle
Crashing to pieces the attacking waves
Which have turned to drops of blood
The resisted Poseidon uses stronger force
For revenge by pushing
Destructive waves as high as mountains to the shore and
To the rocks with a thunderous roar
The sea is burning in a wide fire
In the bloody red of the setting sun
With a loud burning sound flames stretch towards the sky
As if intending to burn down all in their way
And to turn over the bottom of the endless sea
6
You awake giggling from a lovely dream
Stretch some
Like a kitten
You shake the water off your hair
Keep smiling at the roaring sea
Until at dusk it restores the peace
Misty air flows by
And rises
Soft waves kiss and feel the sand and rocks
As if apologizing for their rudeness
Poseidon whispers his tender words to the girl
Till the sun falls into the sea
And the dark begins to step in
A silver belt begins to tremble
Leading directly
To the moon that connects the water and the sky
From afar are heard echoing rumbles
The roar of Poseidon from the seabed
And echoes from outer space
7
The girl is amazed at the ever-changing temper of the sea
It roars like a lion and shakes like a volcano
It whispers like a lover ready to sing a lullaby
Changing, unpredictable
It is the symbol of poetry, a source of poetry
Oh, the sea, how many poets have written about you
How many warriors have given lives to you
And how many cowards have been buried in your depths…
Summer of 1991, Firth of Forth, Edinburgh
[48]动与静的变奏 刚与柔的交融
席雅琴 硕士
动与静、刚与柔的结合是诗歌常用的手法,通过动与静的和谐组合,刚与柔的交替融合,可以奏出灵动的生命之歌。《少女与大海》这首诗最大的特点就是动与静、刚与柔各自的细腻描绘和两者之间的巧妙配合。
第一节是诗的序曲,主要描写清波细浪的平静的大海和在海边棕榈树下憩息的少女,是诗歌静的部分,这是动开始之前的力量的蕴蓄时刻。而在诗的第二节中,诗人运用拟人的手法和细腻的笔触,将这一少女在大海中嬉戏的高潮部分描绘得淋漓尽致,。而这一动的过程本身也是一个具有起始、发展、高潮和终止的完整的动态的过程。与此同时,这一节诗将大海明显地虚拟为一个男子,尤其是海神波塞冬形象的出现。大海的奔腾与少女的柔弱分别代表着阳刚和阴柔之美,少女在大海的怀抱中嬉戏正是两者的融合。
这两个诗节一起构成了一对动静和刚柔的组合。
第三节是动极之后的休憩。大海重新回到“似春晨平稳的湖面”那样的状态,而少女又在和煦的阳光的拂照下和轻柔的风儿中,全身疲软地躺在沙滩上,就犹如“一尊沉睡的维纳斯”。维纳斯的形象与之前的波塞冬的形象相呼应,构成了一组力量与美貌的对比,也就是刚与柔的比照。如果说前一诗节是动态的刚与柔的并济,那么这一节就是静态的刚与柔的融合;如果说前一诗节展示了大海如波塞冬般的阳刚之美,那么这一诗节就显现了少女如维纳斯般的阴柔之美。前一节里少女与大海在游戏中融合,极尽动态之感,而在这一节中,虽也有两者的水乳交融,但却是思绪的飘飞:“想像着在黎明和夕色中和你/相亲、相吻、相祈慕、相拥抱/在雷鸣电闪和暴风雨中和你/相爱、相敬、相患难、向需要”。
如果说第二节是动的极致,那么第四节就是静的极致。第三节同样是静态的描绘,但却还有翻飞的海鸥和思绪的想像,而这一节却是静极的凝视和凝视对象的细致的描绘。如果将第三节比作一幅风景画,那么第四节就是一幅静物画。然而诗人的巧妙之处就在于在静态的凝视中体悟到了宇宙间的道理。本节的最后四句诗:“那秀美庄严的裸体是一个宇宙/那些壮阔的海涛山岳/大地、原野、冰川、沙漠/仿佛要诱使勇士们去探险航行、漂泊”。这实际上是在暗示读者,动与静、刚与柔的交替,正是宇宙中万千事物运行的规则,不管是自然界的大宇宙,还是人类内心精神的小宇宙,只有体验到这一哲理,才能揭示万物的奥秘,这恐怕也就是诗人写作的意旨所在吧!
这两个诗节构成了联结上一个高潮和下一个高潮的桥梁,也是两个动的过程之间的静态的过渡。
所谓“否极泰来”、静极而动。在第四节静的极致后,第五节又开始了新的运动。大海在平息波浪后重又“推波助澜,掀起阵阵波涛”。相对于第二节的如男女相恋的激情之动,这一节犹如战场上的金戈铁马、浴血奋战,更多的是磅礴、狂怒的气势,是意欲破碎一切的力量。这一节的动的写法也与第二节不同:第二节是在少女静与柔的映衬下,描写大海的勇猛与刚强;而这一节则是大海狂放之态特写。由此第六节又顺理成章地描绘少女的宁静,“精灵的猫”,“黄昏时的宁静”,“流苏般的雾气”和“暮霭”,“水天相连的月亮”,与“狂啸的吼狮”,“嶙峋的礁石”,“气势磅礴的惊涛骇浪”,又完成了一幅动静相映的图画。
最后一节是全诗的尾声。它将动与静、刚与柔做了一个总结。正是这两极的“跌宕起伏、变幻莫测”才构成了美好事物之所以美好的要素,正是这相生相克的两者的交替融合,才突显出宇宙间生生不息的灵动之美,而这种绵延古今的生机,也正是诗人、勇士甚至懦夫,以至整个人类甘为之讴歌、捐躯的动力。这是全诗的余音,也是全诗的点睛之笔。
此外,这首诗避免了少女-静、柔,大海-动、刚的模式化手法带来的呆板,在描写少女时,也注意到她的静中有动,如第二诗节中的海中嬉戏;在描写大海时,也兼顾他的动中之静,如他凝视少女的时刻。这使得全诗就像一曲交响乐,两相照应而水乳交融。
