- 主题:有谁能帮忙解读一下这首诗呢?除了猛虎与蔷薇那句,剩下的我都
于我,过去、现在和未来
[英] 西格里夫·萨松
于我,过去、现在和未来
商讨聚会各执一词,纷扰不息。
林林总总的欲望,掠取着我的现在
把“理性”扼杀于它的宝座
我的爱越过未来的藩篱
梦想解放出它们的双脚,舞蹈不停。
于我,穴居人攫取了先知
佩戴花环的阿波罗神
向亚伯拉罕的聋耳唱叹歌吟。
心有猛虎,细嗅蔷薇。
审视我的内心吧,亲爱的朋友,你应颤栗
因为那才是你本来的面目。

原版的韵脚似乎更好
In me, past, present, future meet
To hold long chiding conference.
My lusts usurp the present tense
And strangle Reason in his seat.
My loves leap through the future’s fence
To dance with dream-enfranchised feet.
In me the cave-man clasps the seer,
And garlanded Apollo goes
Chanting to Abraham’s deaf ear.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble,
Since there your elements assemble.
by Siegfried Sassoon

这是个很有意思的话题,为此特别去搜索了一下,找到下面两篇英文解读:
http://mccarthyeducation.blogspot.com/2018/06/special-request-siegfried-sassoons-in.html
https://tigersgaze.org/in-me-past-present-future-meet/
两篇我都读完了,第一篇繁复一些,但非常细致。第二篇更容易理解。
简言之,这首诗想表达的意思是人的多样性,比如理智与情感的冲突。
作者试图在这多样性的冲突之中寻找一种平衡,以此为基础做出决定,
即使做出的决定事后被证明并不完美也能坦然受之——“尽人事、听
天命”。
感觉跟电影 Full Metal Jacket (1987) 里的视角很相似。
Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
