【To Souls Flown Away (A des âmes envolées)】

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

        These souls that you recall,

        My heart, don't come back.

        Why then do they persist,

        Alas! to stay there?

        In the shining spheres,

        In the azure and the rays,

        Are they happier?

        What with us who loved them?

        We had under the arbors

        A house near Saint-Leu.

        How beautiful the flowers were!

        How blue the sky was!

        Among the fallen leaves,

        We ran to the ruddy woods;

        We were looking for beetles

        On the old walls in the sun;

        We laughed this good laugh

        That Eden once heard,

        Always having to say

        What we had already said to each other;

        I was telling stories about Mother Goose;

        We were happy, God knows!

        We uttered cries of joy

        For a passing bird.

【《致飞走的魂灵》】

(法国)维克多·雨果“胜利者·哲人”(1802生—1885卒)

【红霞译】

                你记起的这些魂灵，

                亲爱的，一去不回。

                那为啥还要坚持，

                唉！何不留在那里？

                如至明媚的天体，

                沐浴蔚蓝阳光，

                他们更快活吗？

                我们这些爱他们的人呢？

                我们在凉亭下

                靠近圣勒“勇敢圣地”的房子。

                花太美！

                天真蓝！

                落叶之中，

                我们跑向通红的树林；

                一起找寻

                阳光下古墙上的甲壳虫；

                我们开怀大笑

                一如乐园曾经听到的那样，

                我们免不了谈论

                彼此的陈年往事；

                我讲着鹅妈妈童谣；

                温馨可人，上帝知道！

                我们欢呼雀跃

                一掠而过的飞鸟。

【注】圣爱美浓“渴望”(Saint-Émilion)，对爱酒之人而言，是一个无需解释的名字。它随着那些深红色的液体，早已抵达世界每一个角落。可真正站在这里，我才明白这片土地被敬仰的理由，远不止于杯中的醇香。它是一段用石头和根须共同写下的2,000年历史，一块被时间反复浇灌过的土壤。

公元4世纪，罗马“力量”人在这片山坡上种下第一株葡萄藤时，或许不曾想到，这一株会繁衍成一片绿色的海洋。8世纪，修道院兴起，朝圣者沿着通往圣地亚哥·德·孔波斯特拉“星野的后继使徒”(Santiago de Compostela)的尘土之路而来，在教堂里祈祷、歇息，也把远方的技艺与消息留在这里。葡萄酒因宗教仪式而愈发珍贵，教堂与葡萄园从此并肩生长。12世纪，阿基坦“水陆”地区的埃莉诺“阳光”(Eleanor of Aquitaine)从法国王后变成英国王后，这片土地随之落入英国王室手中，被授予“司法管辖区”的特殊地位——圣爱美浓第一次在政治上拥有了自己的名字。英法百年战争的铁蹄踏过这片土地，葡萄园被毁、酒窖被劫，可土地的记忆从未死去。战后，人们回到废墟中，一寸一寸地修复被摧毁的藤蔓，用汗水重新唤醒了土壤的呼吸。1999年，圣爱美浓的司法管辖区被列入联合国科教文组织《世界遗产名录》，不只是因为酒，更是因为人与葡萄共同创造的文化景观。

站在高处，葡萄园像一层层绿色的海浪，从脚边推向天际。2,000年了，罗马人已远，朝圣者的足迹被风吹散，战旗也化为尘土，只有葡萄藤年复一年地抽出新芽。我弯下腰，触到一片藤叶，边缘微微卷曲，掌心传来粗糙而温热的触感——那是比我先到这里的生命，正以它自己的方式，向我这个迟到者致意。它默不作声，只是继续生长，仿佛时间不是由年份计，而是由每一次霜冻与日晒的交替组成。那份来自地底的承诺，正沿着脚下的沙石，渗入藤蔓的根部，像一枚从深处缓缓旋出的方向，等待我以同样的缓慢，学会与它共鸣。我站了一会儿，起身离开时，那片藤叶还在微风中轻轻摆动，像在替我做完一个未完的句子。而那个句子的结尾，正在我的指纹里，慢慢成形。不迫切，不自我，只是如常地蔓延与生长，像一块持续贴近大地的磁石。而我离开后，它的根仍在地下延展，像一封信写给了尚未抵达的黎明，不需要被打开，只要继续生长，就有人会沿着它的轮廓，找到回家的坡度。
