云雀叫了一整天

by Mu Xin, 木心

“从前的日色变得慢，车、马、邮件都慢，一生只够爱一个人……”

木心诗集《云雀叫了一整天》，依据木心晚年定稿，甲辑收入《大心情》《火车中的情诗》《永井荷风的日本国》《而我辈也曾有过青春》《安息吧，仇敌们》《知堂诗素录》等（特别收有《从前慢》原汁原味的小诗），乙辑收入俳句集，并配有作家影像、创作手迹等。诗集首次出版时，木心已八十二岁。

这一百余首意境深远、金句纷披的诗篇，逾百行木心式的精彩箴言，至今仍为读者津津乐道。甲辑中，诗人在时空中，漫游伏尔加河、西西里岛、伊斯坦布尔、爪哇国、古希腊……异域人情，中国地貌，跃然纸上。下辑全为短句，多为偶感而作，异彩纷呈。这些句子又似俳句又似格言，诚如木心所言：俳句结集，大有火树银花之感。

About the author

Mu Xin (1927-2011) was the pen name of a renowned Chinese diasporan writer and artist who once lived in the New York area. Mu Xin was born in Wuzhen, South China, into a wealthy aristocratic family with business interests in Shanghai. He was among the last generation to receive a classical education in the literati tradition, but he was also exposed through voluminous reading to the highest achievements of Western art and culture.

From 1947 to 1949, Mu Xin attended Shanghai Institute of the Arts. From 1949 until 1982, when he came to the United States, MuXin lived in China. Although he wrote profusely in that period, all of his earlier manuscripts were confiscated and destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Since 1982, MuXin published twelve books of fiction, prose, and poetry (in Chinese) and contributed to literary columns in Chinese journals and newspapers outside the PRC. Among the Chinese diaspora, MuXin’s works have attracted an intense following.

Few Chinese writers in modern history have as firm a mastery of the Chinese cultural and linguistic heritage as MuXin did. Innovatively combining fiction, sanwen (a Chinese genre which blends characteristics of the essay, fiction, and poetry), and philosophical reflections, MuXin’s writing is both profoundly Chinese and reminiscent of the internalization and unconventionality of Western modern masters. In addition to his literary accomplishments, MuXin was also a well recognized artist whose paintings are preserved, among other places, at Yale University and Harvard University Art Galleries.

我对《温莎墓园日记》和《琼美卡随想录》的评价很高，真没想到这本实在是……全书最富诗意的句子就是标题：云雀叫了一整天。甲辑出了一首脍炙人口的《从前慢》（放在这个集子里可以说是万里挑一），我个人喜欢一首《五月》，其他就真是：我看了个啥啊？？乙辑更加可笑了，奉劝天下想做王尔德和萧伯纳的才子们还是醒醒，王夫之说文章仙凡有隔，神仙能抖机灵你不会觉得你上你也行吧。
//////////
附上那首我喜欢的《五月》：
你这样吹过
清凉，柔和

再吹过来的
我知道不是你了
//////////
至于其他部分有多糟糕呢，有一句很具代表性的，录与诸君同乐：
吁，予频忆江南古镇
梁昭明太子读书于我家后园
……
（哈哈哈哈哈哈哈草）
