更愛的那一方 - W.H. 奧登
這首詩的名稱是《The More Loving One》,作者是W.H. Auden。Auden 是一位著名的英國詩人,他的作品常常探討人類情感、社會議題和哲學思考。
這首詩表達了對宇宙無情的接受,以及在這種冷漠中尋找個人意義的努力。詩人通過星星的意象來討論愛、冷漠和失落的情感。
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
這首詩通過星星的意象,探討了人類對於冷漠的恐懼和接受。詩人強調,在面對冷漠時,我們可以選擇成為那個付出更多愛的人,並在失去中找到新的意義。這首詩鼓勵讀者接受生活中的不完美和冷漠,並在其中尋找內心的平靜。
這首詩提醒我們,即使在不對等的愛情或關係中,也能選擇成為更有愛心的一方,展現寬容和理解;真正的愛並非執著於回報,而是學會坦然接受失去,同時保留內心的善良與平靜。
