還是Czeslaw Milosz


So Little 

I said so little.
Days were short.

Short days.
Short nights.
Short years.

I said so little.
I couldn't keep up.

My heart grew weary
From joy,
Despair,
Ardor,
Hope.

The jaws of Leviathan
Were closing upon me.

Naked, I lay on the shores
Of desert islands.

The white whale of the world
Hauled me down to its pit.

And now I don't know
What in all that was real.

                                                        Berkeley, 1969
                                                          -by Czeslaw Milosz

對於現在台灣社會的種種，紛亂失序到荒謬至極的邏輯推演，
小小的小市民，只能等待巨獸吞噬，
虛弱地再也搞不清楚何謂真實？何謂虛幻？

等待奇蹟
懷抱希望 前進吧！

禮物 --Czeslaw Milosz

"Gift"

(you can also read it in Polish)
A day so happy.
Fog lifted early, I walked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails.

〈禮物 〉
如此幸福的一天 ，
霧一早就散了，我在花園做活。
鋒鳥停在忍冬花上。
這世上沒有一樣東西我想擁有。
我知道沒有一個人值得我羨慕。
我曾遭受的任何惡禍，
我都忘了。
認為我曾是同樣的人並不使我難為情。
在我身上我沒有感到痛苦。
當挺起身來，我看見藍色的海與帆。
(杜國清 譯)



諾貝爾文學獎得主米洛舒，
波蘭流亡詩人的背景，
讓他更能感同於人類流離失所、顛簸一生後回歸安穩的寧靜。
忘了曾遭受獲致的苦難，何其容易。
但是他，知道了，也或許早已釋然，
於是，他的"禮物"，說明了一切。

"禮物"，一直是我最愛的一首詩，
威權體制下掙得的民主，是否能使每個人不因擁有、不因失去而喜悲？
台灣四百年來悲情的歷史，是否將有否極泰來的可能？
能否有一天，我們終將感受到永恆的平靜？

眼前一片迷茫
因此
只能嚮往 期待
來自天上賜予的 幸福的禮物
