E. E. Cummings

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

--- E. E. Cummings

自從大一接觸過E. E. Cummings的詩就一直很喜歡

anyone lived in a pretty how town (請點我)



不會是咬文嚼字的用字遣詞

不會是寓意深遠的偉大傑作



E. E. Cummings的詩總是帶有一種很清新的風格

有時還有獨樹一格的幽默



可以很深情

可以很嚴肅

可以很風趣



雖然大三讀到的In Just--(請點我) 把我嚇了一跳

瞬間把E. E. Cummings束之高閣

但是昨天驚聞I Carry You in My Heart

頓時有一股清爽的微風吹過



i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)



i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you



here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart



i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)



E. E. Cummings的詩總是外表淡淡的

內心卻是澎湃不已



或許就是這樣的情感才令人不禁怦然心動吧



後來我又找到了另一首更棒的詩



If

by: e.e. cummings

If freckles were lovely, and day was night, And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie, Life would be delight,-- But things couldn't go right For in such a sad plight I wouldn't be I. If earth was heaven and now was hence, And past was present, and false was true, There might be some sense But I'd be in suspense For on such a pretense You wouldn't be you. If fear was plucky, and globes were square, And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee Things would seem fair,-- Yet they'd all despair, For if here was there We wouldn't be we.

看似超然

但實際上內心卻是沉痛到不行

即使內心沮喪卻還是保有一絲絲希望



或許吧...

或許這才是面對人生應有的態度也說不定



最後提供一首E. E. Cummings非常有趣的詩

一開始讀可能很難懂



給一個小提示: 

每句句尾的 said he / she 不唸

但是要記得是男方說或女方說的



真的很有趣!

Enjoy it !!

Hope Springs Eternal

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: 

Man never is, but always to be, blest. 

The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home, 

Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

-- An Essay on Man (1733-4). by Alexander Pope

有時候很害怕往前踏一步。 

對未知的未來、 

對陌生的環境、 

對嶄新的挑戰。



有時候很畏懼失敗的一刻。

對分數的計較、 

對名利的爭逐、 

對潛能的期待。 



在不斷鞭策自己向前的同時，

又把自己逼近了矛盾的死胡同中。

拿著一隻鐵湯匙，

對著堅硬的磚牆死命想挖出遁逃的生路。 



究竟是天真，還是愚笨。 

究竟是想的太多，還是不切實際。 



每個人在自己不同的路上究竟都能遇見什麼呢？ 

是不是每個人都能登上自己的峰頂呢？ 



懷抱著希望吧。
