The Bliss of Solitude　-孤獨的幸福-

我很喜歡一首流麗的英文詩：

I wandered lonely as a cloud
by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.


私譯：

我孤單
如高凌於山的雲那樣漫行，
驀然瞧見一大片黃水仙，
緊靠湖畔，在樹蔭下，
迎著微風輕舞飛揚。

連綿的
像銀河裡閃爍的星子那般，
花兒沿著海灣邊緣
伸展成永無止盡的蜿蜒；
一眼望去有千萬朵，
在活潑的舞蹈中點點頭。

旁邊的波浪也舞動著，
花海卻欣然豔壓潮水勝出：
詩人身處這種風光中，
哪禁得住心頭的喜悅：
我凝視，又凝視，但沒去想
這場盛事帶來什麼啟示。

有時候，
當我臥床出神或是默然沉思，
花兒就會朝著心眼閃耀，
這就是孤獨的幸福；
於是我心頭就會盈滿愉悅，
與金黃色水仙花共舞。



順道分享一首純音樂：
《Solitude》



Solitude(孤獨)是良性的，
在某程度上與Loneliness(寂寞)相反。

孤獨既是一種狀態，也是一種生活態度。

懂得獨處、享受孤獨之樂的人，
才不會在與人相處時迷失自我；
我正學著欣賞這種缺憾美，
長遠目標是根本不把它看成缺憾。
