?Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis丨Vision (1905)
晨祷
阳光普照;邮筒旁 , 桦树干叉开 ,
叶子叠起 , 像鱼鳍那样摺着 。
树下 , 有冰翼、歌后等白水仙中空的花茎 ,
野生紫罗兰的深色叶子 。 诺亚说 ,
抑郁者厌恨春天 , 内心与外部世界
没搭成平衡 。 我成为另一类
个案——虽说是抑郁 , 但还可说是
深情依恋着那棵活着的树 , 身体真的是
蜷在裂开的树干中 , 几乎安宁 , 在黄昏的雨中
几乎能感到树汁
起泡、升涌:诺亚说 , 这是
抑郁者的误判 , 体认为一棵树 ,
而欢快的心却游荡
在园中 , 像一片飘零的叶子 , 一个
只是部分而非整体的形象 。
Matins
The sun shines; by the mailbox, leaves
of the divided birch tree folded, pleated like fins.
Underneath, hollow stems of the white daffodils, Ice Wings, Cantatrice; dark
leaves of the wild violet. Noah says
depressives hate the spring, imbalance
between the inner and the outer world. I make
another case--being depressed, yes, but in a sense passionately
attached to the living tree, my body
actually curled in the split trunk, almost at peace, in the evening rain
almost able to feel
sap frothing and rising: Noah says this is
an error of depressives, identifying
with a tree, whereas the happy heart
wanders the garden like a falling leaf, a figure for
the part, not the whole.
晨祷
无法触及的父啊 , 我们当初
被逐出天堂时 , 你造了
一个复制版 , 某种意义上
一个异于天堂的地方 , 设计出来
用于教训一顿;除此之外
都一样——两边都是美 , 美得
没有另一种可能——只是
我们不知道那教训是什么 。 我们
被单独丢下 , 彼此损耗 。 黑暗岁月
随之而来;我们轮流
在那园中劳作 , 当泥土因花瓣
而迷蒙 , 我们的眼睛满溢着
初始的泪水 , 有的花
深红 , 有的呈肉色——
我们从未想到过你 ,
你 , 我们还在学着崇拜 。
我们所知的只是 , 人的本性并非
只爱那以爱回报者 。
Matins
Unreachable father, when we were first
exiled from heaven, you made
a replica, a place in one sense
different from heaven, being
designed to teach a lesson: otherwise
the same--beauty on either side, beauty
without alternative--Except
we didn't know what was the lesson. Left alone,
we exhausted each other. Years
of darkness followed; we took turns
working the garden, the first tears
filling our eyes as earth misted with petals, some
dark red, some flesh colored--
We never thought of you
whom we were learning to worship.
We merely knew it wasn't human nature to love
only what returns love.
野芝麻
你的心很冷 , 你就会这样生活 。
如我这样:在阴影里 , 爬过凉爽的石块 ,
在高大的枫树下 。
太阳很难碰到我 。
