【为你读诗】多恩诗歌The Fela加抖森的嗓音耳朵要怀孕

Hi,我是Ivy，今天《为你读诗》带来的是玄学派诗歌的代表作《跳蚤》，你别看名字以为它是一个关于“动物”的诗歌，其实它是一首爱情诗哦。

什么？用跳蚤比喻爱情，对的，这就是玄学派开创者多恩的名篇。它以诗人向情人求爱的方式写成，比喻奇特，推理结论也超出想象，让人惊叹诗人的想象力之丰富。

今天为大家选取的是纯英音抖森（Tom Hiddleston）读的诗歌。希望你喜欢我的推荐！

THE FLEA.
by John Donne

MARK but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is ;
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead ;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pamper'd swells with oneblood made of two
And this, alas ! is more than we would do.

O stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is.
Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,
And cloister'd in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to killme,
Let not to that self-murderadded be,
And sacrilege, three sins inkilling three.

Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Where in could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it suck'd from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou
Find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now.
'Tis true ; then learn how false fears be ;
Just so much honour, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took lifefrom thee.

跳蚤
约翰·邓恩

看呀，这只跳蚤，叮在这里
你对我的拒绝多么微不足道
它先叮我，现在又叮你
我们的血液在它体内溶和
你知道这是不能言说的
罪恶、羞耻、贞操的丢失
它没有向我们请求就得到享受
饱餐了我们的血滴后大腹便便
这种享受我们无能企及

住手，一只跳蚤，三条生命啊
它的身体不只是见证我们的婚约
还是你和我，我们的婚床，婚姻的殿堂
父母怨恨，你不情愿，我们还是相遇
并躲藏在黝黑的有生命的墙院里
尽管你会习惯地拍死跳蚤
千万别，这会杀了我，也增加你的自杀之罪
杀害三条生命会亵渎神灵

多么残忍，你毫无犹豫
用无辜的鲜血染红自己的指甲？
它不过吸了你一滴血
罪不至死啊？
你却以胜利者的口吻说
你我并没有因失血而有些虚弱
的确，担心不过是虚惊一场
接受我的爱
你的名誉不会有丝毫损失
就象跳蚤之死不会让你的生命有所损失

《跳蚤》这首诗的独特之处在于它一反常态的意象。跳蚤本是一个与爱情毫不相干的意象，它是令人讨厌的吸血虫。

跳蚤强烈的吸血欲望更像人类的性欲。多恩选择跳蚤吸取两人的血作为两性交接的象征，出奇制胜。

在这首诗的开始，“it sucked me first，and now sucks thee ”，它先吮吸我，现在又吮吸你，“And in this flea，our two bloods mingled be. ”两人的血溶一体。诗人将爱情比作跳蚤，男女双方通过一种特殊的方式结合在一起，这样跳蚤的体内就成为情侣秘密举行婚礼的场所。
