疯子凡高引发诗绪乱想
疯子凡高
以为时空四维,
却见色色无碍。
那众觅之无处,
这个不寻自来。
缘起:
冯骥才(1942- ):令人匪夷所思的是,这种精神病的程度“恰到好处”。凡高(Vincent Willem van Gogh,1853-1890)在神智上虽然颠三倒四,但色彩的法则却一点不乱。他对色彩的感觉甚至都是精确之极。这简直不可思议!这像双耳全聋的贝多芬(Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827),反而创作出博大、繁复、严谨、壮丽的《第九交响乐》。是谁创造了这种艺术史的奇迹和生命的奇迹?(摘自:《美人欧罗巴》)
疯子了结自己肉身的时候(1890.7.29),上帝你为何不让那一枪啞火?真个狠心的啊!……之后的不久,一个女版凡高在东方转世,名草间弥生(1929.3.22- )。正当草间重蹈凡高覆辙之时,是谁阻止了她的疯狂?我佛慈悲,期待弥生的大陆版自传快些出来,或者,这本台版大大的减价,那就好了。
而献给凡高的歌,我想,没有比这更好的了:
Starry, starry night 那夜繁星点点 Paint your palette blue and gray 你在画板上涂抹着灰与蓝 Look out on a summer's day 夏日里轻轻的一瞥 With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 便将我灵魂的阴霾洞穿 Shadows on the hills 暗影铺满群山 Sketch the trees and the daffodils 树木与水仙花点缀其间 Catch the breeze and the winter chills 捕捉着微风与料峭冬寒 In colors on the snowy linen land 用雪原斑驳的色彩 Now I understand 我终于读懂了 What you tried to say to me 你当时的肺腑之言 How you suffered for your sanity 独醒于众人间的你是那么痛苦 How you tried to set them free 你多想解开被禁锢者的羁绊 They would not listen 可他们却充耳不闻 They did not know how 对你视若不见 Perhaps they'll listen now 也许,现在听还为时不晚…… Starry, starry night 那夜繁星点点 Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 鲜花盛放,火般绚烂 Swirling clouds in violet haze 紫幕轻垂,云舒云卷 Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue 都逃不过文森特湛蓝的双眼 Colors changing hue 色彩变化万千 Morning fields of amber grain 清晨琥珀色的谷田 Weathered faces lined in pain 张张饱经风霜与苦痛的脸 Are smoothed beneath the artist's Loving hand 在画家笔下渐渐舒展 Now I understand 我终于读懂了 What you tried to say to me 你当时的肺腑之言 How you suffered for your sanity 独醒于众人间的你是那么痛苦 How you tried to set them free 你多想解开被禁锢者的羁绊 They would not listen 可他们却充耳不闻 They did not know how 对你视若不见 Perhaps they'll listen now 也许,现在听还为时不晚…… For they could not love you 他们根本不会在乎你 But still your love was true 你对他们的爱却未曾改变 And when no hope was left inside 当最后一点希望都一去不返 On that starry, starry night 在那繁星点点的夜晚 You took your life 你愤然结束自己的生命 As lovers often do 如热恋中盲目的人儿一般 But I could have told you, Vincent 文森特,我本该告诉你 This world was never meant for one 本就不该来这肮脏的世间 As beautiful as you 像你这样美好的灵魂 Starry, starry night 那夜繁星点点 Portraits hung in empty halls 空旷的大厅里画作高悬 Frameless heads on nameless walls 无名的墙上无框的肖像 With eyes that watch the world 用注视整个世界的双眼 And can't forget 把一切刻在心田 Like the strangers that you've met 就像你曾遇见的匆匆过客 The ragged men in ragged clothes 褴褛的人身着破烂的衣衫 The silver thorn of bloody rose 血红玫瑰上银白的利刺 Lie crushed and broken 零落成泥、摧折寸断 On the virgin snow 散落于皑皑雪间 Now I think I know 我想我现在懂了 What you tried to say to me 你当时的肺腑之言 How you suffered for your sanity 独醒于众人间的你是那么痛苦 How you tried to set them free 你多想解开被禁锢者的羁绊 They will not listen 而他们根本不会去听 They're not listening still 此刻,仍无人在听 Perhaps, they never will 也许,永远
Vincent(文森特)这首歌的演唱者是著名民谣歌手唐·麦克莱恩(Don Mclean,1945- ),他用这首感人的歌献给这位“疯子”凡高,在感动其本人的同时,也感动了全世界热爱生活、心存希望的人们……
据说在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的凡高纪念馆前,人们总能听到这首歌,一遍一遍的放着……
