    简介 ······
      1889年,白朗宁在威尼斯逝世前不久,把一个镶嵌细工的木盒交托给他的儿子,里面珍藏着他和妻子间的全部书信。1898年,两位诗人间的情书公开发表,即两卷本《白朗宁——巴莱特书信集》,这洋洋一百万字以上的来自现实生活的“情书文学”在世上绝少出现,它情深意真,诗趣盎然,受到读者的喜爱,短短十四年间再印六次。
      十四行诗的故乡在意大利,它原是配合曲调的一种意大利民歌体,后来才演变为文人笔下的抒情诗,以莎士比亚成就最高,英国文学史上每一时期的重要诗人如弥尔顿、雪莱、拜伦、济慈都曾写过十四行诗。
      《葡萄牙人十四行诗》是白朗宁夫人的代表作,历来被认为是英国文学史上的珍品,和《莎士比亚十四行诗》相互媲美。
      这部感人的诗集就是他们爱情生活的真实写照。它是英国文学史上的珍品之一。其美丽动人,甚至超过莎士比亚的十四行诗集。有多人译过这本诗集,如闻一多,查良铮(金庸)等。但我认为方平译得最好,令人爱不释手。
      这里Post的就是方平译本。白朗宁夫人最初开始写这十四行组诗大概是在她答应了白朗宁的求婚以后那一段时期。直到他们婚后住到了比萨,白朗宁才读到这本诗集。他不敢把这文学上的无价之宝留给他一个人享受。1850年白朗宁夫人出版了一卷诗集,把这组十四行诗也收进在内,共四十四首,还取了一个总名,叫做《葡萄牙人十四行诗集》,用以掩饰作者身分。

      作者简介 ······
        Elizabeth Browning是十九世纪英国著名女诗人,生于1806年3月6日。十五岁时,不幸骑马跌损了脊椎。从此,下肢瘫痪达24年。在她39岁那年,结识了小她6岁的诗人Robert Browning.她那充满着哀怨的生命从此打开了新的一章。她本来是一个残废的病人,生命,只剩下一长串没有欢乐的日子;青春,在生与死的边缘上黯然消逝。如今,在迟暮的岁月里赶上了早年的爱情。然而,她只能流着泪,用无情的沉默来回答一声声爱情的呼唤。但是,爱情战胜了死亡,从死亡的阴影里救出了一个已经放弃了生命的人。就象神话中的英雄在悬崖边救出了被供奉给海怪的公主,替公主打开了裹在她周身的铁链;她那不知疲倦的情人也帮着她摆脱了她的惊慌、她的疑虑、她的哀怨,扶着她一步步来到了阳光底下。她动荡不安的感情逐渐变得稳定了;她对于人生开始有了信心,产生了眷恋。未来的幸福,不再是一团强烈的幻光,叫她不敢逼视,不敢伸出手去碰一下了。她敢于拿爱情来报答爱了。

          这份爱情使她奇迹班地重新站了起来。在病室中被禁锢了24年之后,她终于可以凭自己的双脚重新走到阳光下了。
          白朗宁夫妇一起度过了15年幸福的生活,在这15年中,从不知道有一天的分离。1861年6月29日,白朗宁夫人永别了她的Robert。临终之前,她并没多大病疼,也没有预感,只是觉得倦;那是一个晚上,她正和白朗宁商量消夏的计划。她和他谈心说笑,用最温存的话表示她的爱情;后来她感到倦,就偎依在白朗宁的胸前睡去了。她这样地睡了几分钟,头突然垂了下来;他以为她是一时昏晕,但是她去了,再不回来了。
          她在他的怀抱中瞑了目。她的容貌,象少女一般,微笑,快乐。

          我想起,当年希腊的诗人曾经歌咏:
          I thought once how Theocritus had sung
          年复一年,那良辰在殷切的盼望中
          Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years,
          翩然降临,各自带一份礼物
          Who each one in a gracious hand appears
          分送给世人--年老或是年少。
          To bear a gift for mortals, old or young:
          当我这么想,感叹着诗人的古调,
          And, as I mused it in his antique tongue,
          穿过我泪眼所逐渐展开的幻觉,
          I saw, in gradual vision through my tears,
          我看见,那欢乐的岁月、哀伤的岁月--
          The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years,
          我自己的年华,把一片片黑影接连着
          Those of my own life, who by turns had flung
          掠过我的身。紧接着,我就觉察
          A shadow across me. Straightway I was 'ware,
          (我哭了)我背后正有个神秘的黑影
          So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move
          在移动,而且一把揪住了我的发,
          Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair;
          往后拉,还有一声吆喝(我只是在挣扎):
          And a voice said in mastery, while I strove, --
          “这回是谁逮住了你?猜!”“死,”我答话。
          `Guess now who holds thee?' -- `Death.' I said. But, there
          听哪,那银铃似的回音:“不是死,是爱!”
          The silver answer rang, -- `Not Death, but love.'

            可是在上帝的全宇宙里,总共才只
            But only three in all God's universe

            也不至于那么彻底隔绝。唉,
            Less absolute exclusion. `Nay' is worse
            比谁都厉害,上帝的那一声“不行!”
            From God than from all others, O my friend!
            要不然,世俗的诽谤离间不了我们,
            Men could not part us with their worldly jars,
            任风波飞扬,也不能动摇那坚贞;
            Nor the seas change us, nor the tempests bend;
            我们的手要伸过山岭,互相接触;
            Our hands would touch for all the mountain-bars
            有那么一天,天空滚到我俩中间,
            And, heaven being rolled between us at the end,
            我俩向星辰起誓,还要更加握紧。
            We should but vow the faster for the stars.

              可怜我,头上承受着凉透的夜露。
              The chrism is on thine head, -- on mine, the dew, --
              只有死,才能把这样的一对扯个平。
              And Death must dig the level where these agree.

                        The colours from my life, and left so dead
                        我生命的光彩,只剩一片死沉沉的
                        And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done
                        苍白,不配给你当偎依的枕头。
                        To give the same as pillow to thy head.
                        走吧!尽把它踏在脚下,作垫石。
                        Go further! let it serve to trample on.

                          诗集第九首
                          我能不能有什么、就拿什么给你?
                          Can it be right to give what I can give?
                          该不该让你紧挨著我,承受
                          To let thee sit beneath the fall of tears
                          我簌簌的苦泪;听著那伤逝的青春,
                          As salt as mine, and hear the sighing years
                          在我的唇边重复著叹息,偶而
                          Re-sighing on my lips renunciative
                          浮起一丝微笑,哪怕你连劝带哄,
                          Through those infrequent smiles which fail to live
                          也随即在叹息里寂灭?啊,我但怕
                          For all thy adjurations? O my fears,
                          这并不应该!我俩是不相称的
                          That this can scarce be right! We are not peers
                          一对,哪能匹配作情侣?我承认,
                          So to be lovers; and I own, and grieve,
                          我也伤心,象我这样的施主
                          That givers of such gifts as mine are, must
                          只算得鄙吝。唉,可是我怎能够让
                          Be counted with the ungenerous. Out, alas!
                          我满身的尘土玷污了你的紫袍,
                          I will not soil thy purple with my dust,
                          叫我的毒气喷向你那威尼斯晶杯!
                          Nor breathe my poison on thy Venice-glass,
                          我什么爱也不给,因为什么都不该给。
                          Nor give thee any love -- which were unjust.
                          爱呀,让我只爱著你,就算数了吧!
                          Beloved, I only love thee! let it pass.
