有愛就夠了 (Love is Enough)
William Morris英國維多利亞時期著名的詩人兼藝術理論家。他主張把生活美學化,結和實用(useful)與美學(beautiful),讓藝術落實在人們的日常生活裡,涵養品味。他說「幸福的秘密就藏在對日常生活的小細節產生真正的興趣」 (The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life)。對生活有愛,就有真的幸福。
他有一首詩叫 “Love is enough”:
LOVE is enough: though the World be a-waning, |
|
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining, |
|
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover |
|
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder, |
|
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder, |
|
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over, |
|
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter; |
|
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter |
|
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover. |
大意是說: 盡管世界會殞落,但有愛就夠了。雖然林間的怨嘆風聲不息,雖然淚眼模糊看不見彼處的雛菊盛開,雖然陰影遮蓋山巒,雖然大海暗潮洶湧,雖然今天的薄紗掩蓋了昨日種種,但情人的雙手不顫抖,腳步不遲疑,可能徒然,可能恐懼,但都不能動搖戀人們深情的眼眸與紅唇,因為有愛。
有愛,無悔。
這讓我想起披頭四約翰藍儂(John Lennon) 的名曲: “All You Need is Love.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKiqthx0GKw) 披頭四的烏托邦理想建構,愛扮演了關鍵的角色。你只需要愛,愛就是你所需要的。
有愛,無礙。
愛爾蘭劇作家王爾德(Oscar Wilde) 也說: “Who, being loved, is poor?” 有人愛,你怎麼會可憐? 怎麼會窮呢?
有愛,無憾。
IS的全球騷動,更驗證了這個世界這人間最缺的就是:
愛! 愛! 愛! 愛! 愛! 愛! 愛! 愛! 愛!
