美国诗人罗伯特·勃莱(Robert Bly,1926-)出版于1962年的诗集Silence in the Snowy Fields《雪野上的静寂》影响了两代人的创作，还撰文鼓吹美国诗歌要摆脱盛现代派诗人的非个人化写作的影响，要写更有内在感性的诗。《听科隆音乐会有感》比较有代表性地例证他的追求。【按】科隆音乐会the Köln Concert是音乐家Keith Jarrett于1975年1月24日在德国科隆歌剧院的一场钢琴独奏音乐会的录音，这是一场以古典音乐为基础的即兴式演奏，具有很强的爵士风，成为爵士乐历史上销量最高的独奏。勃莱听的应该是Keith Jarrett的演奏录音。有必要说明一下这场演奏的“问题”。当时，Jarrett要的钢琴是贝森多夫290三角钢琴，但歌剧院人员搞错了，搬来了一座只能用来彩排的小钢琴，而且音不准，踏板也有问题。因为来不及换琴，Jarret的演奏就经常采用在同一声部重复乐句和左手滚动以及尽量在中间键盘演奏。演奏会在歌剧院晚场歌剧结束后，于夜里11:30分开始，这场1400多听众参与的音乐会非常成功，其中第一部分有将近12分钟的即兴。整场演奏时间无法直接发在这儿。今天在另一个帖子里发的是Fausto Bongelli所演奏的原作第一部分，长约26分钟。Listening to the Köln ConcertAfter we had loved each other intently,we heard notes tumbling together,in late winter, and we heard icefalling from the ends of twigs.The notes abandon so much as they move.They are the food not eaten, the comfortnot taken, the lies not spoken.The music is my attention to you.And when the music came again,later in the day, I saw tears in your eyes.I saw you turn your face awayso that the others would not see.When men and women come together,how much they have to abandon! Wrensmake their nests of fancy threadsabandon all their money each year.What is it that men and women leave?Harder than wrens’ doing, they haveto abandon their longing for the perfect.The inner nest not made by instinctwill never be quite round,and each has to enter the nestmade by the other imperfect bird.A Man and a Woman Sit Near Each OtherA man and a woman sit near each other, and they do not longat this moment to be older, or younger, nor bornin any other nation, or time, or place.They are content to be where they are, talking or not-talking.Their breaths together feed someone whom we do not know.The man sees the way his fingers move;he sees her hands close around a book she hands to him.They obey a third body that they share in common.They have made a promise to love the body.Age may come, parting may come, death will come.A man and a woman sit near each other;as they breathe they feed someone we do not know,someone we know of, whom we have never seen.
