艾日草堂

幾個禮拜前終於把亞法隆之霧(The Mists of Avalon)啃完了.......(呼呼)
其實整本書簡而言之就是亞瑟王的姊姊，Morgaine一生的歷程。從在庭塔閣陰鬱的童年寫起，然後被帶到亞法隆島接受女祭司的訓練、無意中和亞瑟ooxx生下莫桀........。有一段很讓人印象深刻：她和童年玩伴藍斯洛在島上重逢，兩人徜徉在如夢的縹緲美景裡，無憂無慮地嬉戲追逐著。看見結局後回顧此時，我也跟Morgaine一樣希望時間就凝止在當下呀～她花了數十年盲目渴求藍斯洛的愛，少女情懷醒得實在太晚。徹悟固然帶來心靈的解脫，卻也讓過往的歲月成為失去意義的追尋。美麗如昔的回憶對比兩人歷經世事的滄桑，益顯殘酷。亞法隆全書給人的感覺也就像Morgaine的生涯般惆悵淒涼，如此浪漫而真實的幸福在她一生中似乎僅此一回，書中也沒有別的篇章像這段一樣甜美純愛....... ...繼續閱讀

Oh My Love...我的摯愛
I stand on a distant shore, 我佇立在遠方的海岸
The turning tide,起落的潮汐
Breathes all the mystery of you.嘆息著你所有的神秘

Oh My Dreams...我的夢境
Are lost with the autumn leaves,隨秋日的落葉而逝去
That turn to gold,化為燦金
And fall in the memory of you.墜入對你的回憶

Mists of Avalon, cover my heart,亞法隆之霧，遮蔽我的心
Carry my voice on the wind.讓我的心聲乘風而去
Over the waters, that keep us apart...越過那隔開我倆的水域

I will remember you still,我依然會記得你
I will remember you still.我依然會記得你

Oh my heart...我的心靈
Returns to the sweetest morn.回歸最甜美的晨曦
That was the springtime,那時正當春季
for the loving of you.一切只為了對你的愛意

Oh my life...我的生命
I weep for the drifting years.我為飄零的歲月哭泣
And for my soul,而我的靈魂
That longs for the comfort of you.則依戀你的慰藉

Mists of Avalon, cover my heart,亞法隆之霧，遮蔽我的心
Carry my voice on the wind.讓我的心聲乘風而去
Over the waters that keep us apart...越過那隔開我倆的水域

I will remember you still,我依然會記得你
I will remember you我會記得你

(composed by Loreena McKennitt)

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
There is the heart is longing for
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
Then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
Darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Now I feel, feel you move
And every breath is full

So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you
