拜伦 “So we'll go no more a-roving”赏析
So We'll Go No More a-Roving
So we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart still be as loving,
And the moon still be as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.
George Gordon Lord Byron
我个人认为这首诗应不是写给亡者的,而是诗人写给自己的,即作者失恋后的作品。诗人不同于一般的失恋者,他把爱情的失败升华到了哲学的高度。虽然他仍然有心责备对方的喜新厌旧,却承认了喜新厌旧是一种必然,也是一种适宜。也许这就就是拜伦的伟大之处吧,他本身愿做一个放荡子弟,自然也不会要求对方忠贞于爱情。更重要的是,诗人最后提出了爱情虽然美好,但也会消逝这样的观点。这与传统的爱情长久论和忠贞论是不同的,也更符合自然规律。诗人已不仅仅站在哲学的高度了,因为他已经跳出伦理的束缚。这也许就是他以及他的诗篇不朽的原因。
