2011-03-25 美文赏析：The Spirit Wooed
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left][b]The Spirit Wooed[/b]
[i]by Philip Larkin[/i][/p][p=30, 2, left]Once I believed in you,
And then you came,
Unquestionably new, as fame
Had said you were. But that was long ago.[/p][p=30, 2, left]You launched no argument,
Yet I obeyed,
Straightaway, the instrument you played
Distant Down sidestreets, keeping different time,[/p][p=30, 2, left]And never questioned what
You fascinate
In me; if good or not, the state
You pressed towards. There was no need to know.[/p][p=30, 2, left]Grave pristine absolutes
Walked in my mind:
So that I was not mute, or blind,
As years before or since. My only crime[/p][p=30, 2, left]Was holding you too dear.
Was that the cause
You daily came less near—a pause
Longer than life, if you decide it so?[/p][p=30, 2, left][font=verdana,][b]所追求的灵魂
[/b] 菲利普·拉金（著）[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]从前 我信了你
你便来临
毋庸置疑
如传闻中一般的新
——即便 那是很久前的事了[/p][p=30, 2, left]你不曾表明什么
而我却一味遵循
你的心弦 毫不修饰 弹奏了
一曲可以在任何街头巷尾、
任何时间传唱的乐音[/p][p=30, 2, left]不曾怀疑是什么
令我为你 着迷
好也罢 不好也罢
（只要是）你给的 我无需辨明[/p][p=30, 2, left]庄严而浑然天成的绝对
行走在我的脑海
使我不致于沉默不语
也不盲目
迩来以及往后 我唯一的罪[/p][p=30, 2, left]——就是将你抓得太紧
是否这
就是你渐行渐远的原因
只一回停留
（是否你决意如此）就长过一生？[/p][/font][/font]
