Her First Rose

Poem: somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
Author: E. E. Cummings (Please click: Poem Source

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines her
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;
only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

真抱歉,目前我還無法朗讀這首詩,因為:

1)我找不到讀這首詩的感覺;
2)我對配樂朗誦錄音以及後期處理等,這些都不會。

P.S. 我看到你加了一張檔案圖片,這樣方便網友們拜讀你的博客了,我這就去你的博客。

你能讀一個版本出來嗎,讓我聆聽你的聲音。
林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 回複schweine_srq的評論:

你的感覺很獨特,謝分享。我覺得E. E. Cummings並不是在朗誦,而是在讀,我沒有找到更好的朗誦版本,所以就采用詩人自己的朗讀了。詩人一般都是很敏感,感情豐富。
schweine_srq 回複 悄悄話 回複林貝卡的評論:
他的很多語調,不僅僅是朗讀技巧,而是有壓抑的感情躲在後麵。為什麽壓抑,還不是心愛的女人沒有陪他走完漫漫人生路。詩人往往命苦,情事尤甚。我亂說。
林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 回複schweine_srq的評論:

是的,是E. E. Cummings本人朗誦的。你怎麽推測他年輕時失戀多次呢?
schweine_srq 回複 悄悄話 這首詩就是詩人自己朗誦的,對嗎?聲音這麽蒼老,看來年輕的時候曾經失戀過多次。

Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894 – September 3, 1962), popularly known as E. E. Cummings, with the abbreviated form of his name often written by others in lowercase letters as e.e. cummings (in the style of some of his poems—see name and capitalization, below), was an American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright. His body of work encompasses approximately 2,900 poems, two autobiographical novels, four plays and several essays, as well as numerous drawings and paintings. He is remembered as a preeminent voice of 20th century poetry, as well as one of the most popular.(Source:Wikipedia)
