昨天初三的时候一朋友给我看了首诗,William Carlos Williams的That Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
这首简洁的诗歌据说很有名,读了一下也确实挺好。最好的就是人家多么会写,要我们写可能是,我早上吃了冰箱里的苹果、香蕉、橘子、樱桃、桃子、蓝莓,但这些都没有李子的奇妙。李子,比苹果、香蕉、橘子这类平凡水果有意思,比樱桃这种过度甜美的有忧伤感,比桃子高雅,比蓝莓这种一颗颗的琐碎感更规则。李子的颜色也更微妙,蓝紫色。
朋友说,最后的so swett and so cold也很好。大约是暗指这对情侣的某种微妙关系。
诗歌有时候读读能让人脱离现实口语的无趣。一个李子就能创造出美感。诗歌真神奇。
