D.H.Lawrence是英國20世紀(jì)著名的作家，其代表作《查泰來夫人的情人》一書，讓他的名字蜚聲世界。在他僅有的44年的人生中，他創(chuàng)作出大量膾炙人口的作品，他天才般的文字能力，細(xì)膩的刻畫，敏銳的世情洞察力都讓讀過他作品的讀者深深嘆服。今天我給大家介紹一本他的散文集《意大利的暮色Twilight in Italy》，這是他27歲時的作品，那時候，他正與新婚妻子從英國到意大利、瑞士、法國旅游，這個集子就是他的游記，充滿了對大自然的謳歌以及自己的人生哲思。

在英國著名文藝評論家約翰 凱里《閱讀至樂：20世紀(jì)最令人快樂的書》中，（順便一提，此書開出的文學(xué)書單，是我為數(shù)不多必須按圖索驥讀完的。）凱里點(diǎn)評到：“對于勞倫斯而言，這不僅僅是一次徒步旅行，更是一次逃遁，離開讓他感到罪過和壓抑的基督教盛行的北方，逃到異教南方的溫暖中去……游記會使你直面他強(qiáng)勁的自我。你會被卷入到他的熱情中去，看到一個一塵不染的世界，他如癡如醉地描寫太陽和花朵，這兩樣是他的最愛……他的主張就是相信自己的感受和直覺，而非頭腦。他的散文像催眠的咒語”。我這里節(jié)選四段，大家一起讀一下，感受這“催眠的咒語”。

After the cyclamens the Christmas roses are in bud. It is at this season that the cacchi are ripe on the trees in the garden, whole naked trees full of lustrous, orange-yellow, paradisal fruit, gleaming against the wintry blue sky. The monthly roses still blossom frail and pink, there are still crimson and yellow roses. But the vines are bare and the lemon-houses shut And then, mid-winter, the lowest buds of the Christmas roses appear under the hedges and rocks and by streams. They are very lovely, these first large, cold, pure buds, like violets, like magnolias, but cold, lit up with the light from the snow.

The days go by, through the brief silence of winter, when the sunshine is so still and pure, like iced wine, and the dead leaves gleam brown, and water sounds hoarse in the ravines. It is so still and transcendent, the cypress trees poise like flames of forgotten darkness, that should have been blown out at the end of the summer. For as we have candles to light the darkness of night, so the cypresses are candles to keep the darkness aflame in the full sunshine.

這兩段寫了大量的花卉和樹木: Christmas rose, cyclamen, violets, magnolia, cypress…注意他筆下的顏色 orange-yellow, frail and pink, still and pure 配合細(xì)膩的比喻naked tree, brief silence of winter, iced wine, water sounds hoarse in the ravine, still and transcendent, flame of forgotten darkness. 他的這些描寫，讓人如同觀賞一幅幅印象派的風(fēng)景繪畫，尤其這句the cypresses are candles to keep the darkness aflame in the full sunshine，柏樹如同蠟燭照亮夜晚般的，讓一切呈現(xiàn)在陽光下，這樣的比喻（metaphor）把柏樹的顏色寫活了。

Meanwhile, the Christmas roses become many. They rise from the budded, intact humbleness near the ground, they rise up, the throw up their crystal, they become handsome, they are heaps of confident, mysterious whiteness in the shadow of a rocky stream. It is almost uncanny to see them. They are the flowers of darkness, white and wonderful beyond belief.

Then their radiance becomes soiled and brown, they thaw, break, scatter and vanish away. Already the primroses are coming out, and the almond is in bud. The winter is passing away. On the mountains the fierce snow gleams apricot gold as evening approaches. What can be so fiercely gleaming when all is shadowy? It is something inhuman and unmitigated between heaven and earth.

這兩段對準(zhǔn)Christmas rose這冬日的玫瑰，一系列比喻如intact humbleness, heaps of confident, mysterious whiteness, flowers of darkness, white and wonderful beyond belief將其姿態(tài)萬千細(xì)膩地刻畫出來，在寫玫瑰開始由盛放到漸漸萎頓的過程中，他用一系列動詞有節(jié)奏地快速鋪陳，thaw, break, scatter and vanish away。其中thaw本是指雪融化，勞倫斯信手拈來用在玫瑰的收攝的光輝上，簡直是神來之筆，而對于那種光輝，他賦予的形容詞居然是soiled and brown！

寫完玫瑰，他并未盡興，而是轉(zhuǎn)向報春花(primrose)，大有此花過后百花繼的感覺。他筆下意大利的冬天和暮色，雪固然fierce，但映襯出杏花的金黃，一切將落未落的幽暗(shadowy)都交雜在這向晚的杏黃中，作者不禁喃喃自語：天地間有種殘忍的凜冽。到此，冬日黃昏的蕭瑟和肅殺，與當(dāng)季植物不懼嚴(yán)寒，依舊出芽和怒放，形成了鮮活的對比，這無疑是一段生命的禮贊和作者內(nèi)心的投射。
