D.H. Lawrence
Humming-Bird
I can imagine, in some otherworld
Primeval-dumb, far back
In that most awful stillness, that only gasped and hummed,
Humming-birds raced down the avenues.
Before anything had a soul,
While life was a heave of matter, half inanimate,
This little bit chipped off in brilliance
And went whizzing through the slow, vast, succulent stems.
I believe there were no flowers then,
In the world where the humming-bird flashed ahead of creation.
I believe he pierced the slow vegetable veins with his long beak.
Probably he was big
As mosses, and little lizards, they say, were once big.
Probably he was a jabbing, terrifying monster.
We look at him through the wrong end of the telescope of Time,
Luckily for us.作者: 王敖 时间: 2007-8-4 13:25
劳伦斯的诗良莠不齐，但是偶尔会有这种让人震惊的杰作。作者: 粘利文 时间: 2007-8-4 13:25
好在以大喻小，以小讚大，由空間與時間上的差異拉開宏大格局，
，再用誠\摯珍惜的感情充滿其間，深遠，並再全灌注咏於微妙亦大的小上，\r
似有史前小宇宙胚胎感，讀來幸福無比.
