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,目前我还无法朗读这首诗,因为:

1)我找不到读这首诗的感觉;
2)我对配乐朗诵录音以及后期处理等,这些都不会。

P.S. 我看到你加了一张档案图片,这样方便网友们拜读你的博客了,我这就去你的博客。

你能读一个版本出来吗,让我聆听你的声音。
林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 回复schweine_srq的评论:

你的感觉很独特,谢分享。我觉得E. E. Cummings并不是在朗诵,而是在读,我没有找到更好的朗诵版本,所以就采用诗人自己的朗读了。诗人一般都是很敏感,感情丰富。
schweine_srq 回复 悄悄话 回复林贝卡的评论:
他的很多语调,不仅仅是朗读技巧,而是有压抑的感情躲在后面。为什么压抑,还不是心爱的女人没有陪他走完漫漫人生路。诗人往往命苦,情事尤甚。我乱说。
林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 回复schweine_srq的评论:

是的,是E. E. Cummings本人朗诵的。你怎么推测他年轻时失恋多次呢?
schweine_srq 回复 悄悄话 这首诗就是诗人自己朗诵的,对吗?声音这么苍老,看来年轻的时候曾经失恋过多次。

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)
