E. E. Cummings－漂流日誌。

i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

--- E. E. Cummings

自從大一接觸過E. E. Cummings的詩就一直很喜歡
anyone lived in a pretty how town (請點我)

不會是咬文嚼字的用字遣詞
不會是寓意深遠的偉大傑作

E. E. Cummings的詩總是帶有一種很清新的風格
有時還有獨樹一格的幽默

可以很深情
可以很嚴肅
可以很風趣

雖然大三讀到的In Just--(請點我) 把我嚇了一跳
瞬間把E. E. Cummings束之高閣
但是昨天驚聞I Carry You in My Heart
頓時有一股清爽的微風吹過

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

E. E. Cummings的詩總是外表淡淡的
內心卻是澎湃不已

或許就是這樣的情感才令人不禁怦然心動吧

後來我又找到了另一首更棒的詩

If
by: e.e. cummings

If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie,
Life would be delight,--
But things couldn't go right
For in such a sad plight
I wouldn't be I.

If earth was heaven and now was hence,
And past was present, and false was true,
There might be some sense
But I'd be in suspense
For on such a pretense
You wouldn't be you.

If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
Things would seem fair,--
Yet they'd all despair,
For if here was there
We wouldn't be we.

看似超然
但實際上內心卻是沉痛到不行
即使內心沮喪卻還是保有一絲絲希望

或許吧...
或許這才是面對人生應有的態度也說不定

最後提供一首E. E. Cummings非常有趣的詩
一開始讀可能很難懂

給一個小提示:
每句句尾的 said he / she 不唸
但是要記得是男方說或女方說的

真的很有趣!
