【The Genesis Of The Butterfly (Vere novo)】

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

    The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers

    The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers

    That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings

    In jasmine bloom, and periwinkle, of white wings,

    That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,

    With muffled music, murmured far and wide.

    Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays

    That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,

    Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,

    Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,

    The messages of love that mortals write

    Filled with the intoxication of delight,

    Written in April and before the May time

    Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,

    We dream that all white butterflies above,

    Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,

    And leave their lady mistress in despair,

    To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,

    Are but torn love letters, that through the skies

    Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies.

【《蝴蝶的起源(初春时节)》】

(法国)胜利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)

【红霞译】

            黎明在露珠上对着

            含泪的玫瑰微笑；瞧，亲吻花儿的

            小情人，翩然而至

            茉莉丛中长春花里的白色翅膀，

            起舞旋绕，飞离又飞回，

            伴随低沉的音乐，四处轻吟。

            春天啊，当我们怀想所有的思念

            从梦幻的爱侣到沉思的美人，

            到俘获的芳心，到这堆

            毡尖笔写的各式柔丝纸传书，

            到我们四月收到并撕毁的

            陶醉而狂热的情书，

            我们以为能眼见它们随风飞去，

            透过草地、树林、水面、天空，

            到处悠荡，寻找灵魂，

            飞向一如离开女人的花朵，

            白色小碎片，在旋风中追逐

            所有甜美的音符，化作蝴蝶。

【注】鲁昂“绿头鸭”如同淬炼的时光胶囊，邀我一同以时间为引线穿梭其中：

• 罗马帝国与不列颠“英国佬”之间的贸易基地，早在公元10世纪，维京“海盗”人变成诺曼“北方”人后，鲁昂便为诺曼底的省会。

• 饱受战争洗礼，先因普法战争被普鲁士占领(1870—1871)，后在英法百年战争(1337—1453)期间被英国统治长达30年之久，而最为著名的莫过于圣女贞德在此受审并被火刑处决。第一次世界大战，英国将鲁昂用作补给基地(1916—1917)，城内设有许多部队医院；第二次世界大战，该城又被德国占领(1940—1944)，尔后遭到严重破坏，约四分之一的古建被盟军炸毁。

• 法国文学的滋生地，高乃依的《熙德》(Le Cid or Lord 1636)、福楼拜的《包法利夫人》(Madame Bovary 1857)及其弟子莫泊桑的《羊脂球》(Boule de Suif or The Dumpling 1880)、马洛的《苦儿流浪记》(Sans Famille or Nobody's Boy 1878)等深受中国读者的喜爱。

此外，经典的半木结构房屋和哥特式建筑瑰宝似乎隐藏在每个角落；其标志性大教堂——鲁昂的巴黎圣母院华丽的外墙是莫奈“钱币”(Monet)热衷的主题；著名的14世纪天文钟镶嵌在框架别致且镀金精美的拱形塔楼中；旧集市广场见证了1431年圣女贞德的宁死不屈……
