His stateIs kingly; thousands at his bidding speedAnd post oer land and ocean without rest:They also serve who only stand and wait.米里顿(弥尔顿)：目盲自吟世茫茫兮，我目已盲。静言思之，尚未半生。天赋两目，如托千金。今我藏之，其实难任。嗟我目兮，于我无用。虽则无用，我心郑重。忠以计会，虔以事主。恐主归时，纵刑无补。嗟彼上帝，既闭吾瞳。愚心自忖，岂责我工。忍耐之心，可生奥义。苍苍上帝，不较所赐。不较所赐，岂较作事。惟我与轭e,

13、 负之靡暨。上帝惟皇，在彼苍苍。一呼其令，万臣锵锵。驶行水陆，莫敢逞适。彼待立者，都为其役。华丽的迷迭香弥尔顿，16081674，剑桥基督学院的“贵妇人”，英国文学三巨匠之一。一头柔软的卷发，秀气稚浅的面庞上嵌着两颗失明二十年却依然晶莹剔透的眼睛，希腊式的轮廓，我的迷迭香。不知原因地喜爱在他的诗集里夹进迷迭香的叶片、花朵，于是整本书洋溢着清新的芳香。迷迭香，别名艾菊，海洋之露，传说有神赐予的力量，涤净空气，同时具有回忆与思念的意义。弥尔顿，也是这样用他清新的文笔海浪般卷走了伊丽莎白时期的所有扭捏作态的雕虫小技，带来无比清新的直白，一气呵成的二十五首商籁体杰作英文和意大利文。如同任何一位伟大的诗

14、人，他的作品浅显通俗，但一拿起它们就再也放不开。许许多多个夜晚，清晨，我起床开灯，或就着晨曦，翻开失乐园，一节一节地对照注释阅读。很奇怪这么清新地文字中有这么多深意，有如此完备而美妙的作者创造的神话；有这么深刻的立意自由，虔诚和美，生命中的三大支柱。在得到斗士参孙的那个下午，我关上房门，书放在膝盖上摊开，一头扎进公元前那个悲壮的故事中。其中的描写细腻却没有丝毫的矫情，大片大片铺开的、一望无际的描写与抒情仿佛是一片平原，永远的生动，总也看不够似的巧妙地避免了冗长的叙述。那些美丽的文字散发着迷迭香美妙的气息“正如一只夜鹰，躲在暗处，啁啾着她那美妙的夜曲”失乐园，我不想也不愿读它的“革命性”，我只要

15、这些灵动的布局：正当我沉浸在描述的景象时，不知不觉，已达到了下一个场景，进入另一片原野。弥尔顿的迷迭香，夜莺的歌声（“在杜鹃张开笨拙的嘴演奏之前”），同样的让他的同工们无限爱戴。我只举两例。华滋华斯，几度写颂诗赞扬他和他的“好监工”: 回来吧，用你的笔拯救我们（华滋华斯颂诗）。尽管弥尔顿不是桂冠诗人，却获得这位桂冠诗人的尊崇。另一例，威廉布莱克，超验的领袖，象征主义的诗人与画家，用他的画笔画出了弥尔顿失乐园中的世界。弥尔顿曾写：“我的如水年华匆匆失去，暮春时节仍不见花蕾”，（满二十三周岁）但他的生命之花的芬芳已弥漫欧洲文学，弥漫于他去世后的这四百年。他的无韵史诗从失乐园到斗士参孙曾被人误解为没

16、有足够的才思，但它们体现的是天才的清新，一如迷迭香，给世人以无尽的清香与绵思。（2006，8，8，初二假期小天才班语文考试，半命题作文，就“生生命的芳香“这一话题写一篇作文）II.
