屋塔房

       应该是很久以前的事了吧。BD借了叶芝的诗集，是英汉对照的版本，很漂亮的装祯。她向我推荐那首《When you are old》，而我当时只匆匆地扫描了一下那密密麻麻的英语单词，并没有产生多深的印象，当然也就提不上会对它有多强烈的感受。今天在图书馆随便乱转，很巧合地转到了那个书架前，一眼看到架子上摆了数本叶芝的诗，新的旧的，全集还有单行本。总之，叶芝的诗，这里算是齐了。于是想到BD的推荐，很想了解一下这位诗人，想感受一下诗人的气质，随手一拿，正好拿到了当初BD看的那个版本。
    很漂亮的诗集。封面是梦幻的淡紫色，内页全是彩页，细腻的情感随着文字静静流淌在这一页页有着如梦似幻色彩的书页上，让读者我倍感舒心。一首首看下来，每一首都很喜欢。忙不迭地抄啊抄啊，也来不及细细体会诗的内蕴，就凭那份感觉，我发现我喜欢上了叶芝的诗。现在就贴上极具浪漫主义色彩的两首吧。

             When you are old

     When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
     And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
     And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
     Your eyes had once,and their shadows deep;

     How many loved your moments of glad grace,
     And loved your beauty with love false or true,
     But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
     And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

     And banding down beside the glowing bars,
     Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
     And paced upon the mountains overhead
     And hid his face amid a crown of stars.

              The Lake Isle of Innisfree

      I will arise and go,and go to Innisfree,
      And a small cabin build there,of clay and wattles made:
      Nine bean-rows will I have there,a hive for the honeybee,
      And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

      And I shall have some peace there,for peace comes dropping slow,
      Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
      There midnight's all a glimmer,and noon a purple glow,
      And evening full of the linnet's wings.

      I will arise and gonow,for always night and day
      I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
      While I stand on the roadway,or on the pavements grey,
      I hear it in the deep heart's core.
