一元復始,大家讀詩。
〈雪花蓮〉
你知道我曾是什麼嗎,我如何活?你懂得
絕望;那
你應該明白冬天意味什麼。
我沒料想自己能存活,
泥土壓住我。我沒料想
能再醒來,感覺
潮潤泥土裡的身體
恢復反應,記得
這麼久之後再度綻放
在冷冷天光
最早的初春——
懼怕,是的,但回到人世
叫喊是的冒險喜悅
在新世界的寒冽風中。
Snowdrops
Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.
I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn't expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring--
afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy
in the raw wind of the new world.
