昨天下午同一位写诗的朋友去听欧洲诗歌朗诵会，朗诵地点在一个天花板很高的餐厅,餐厅的名字在美国恐怕是少见的：堂倌与诗人（Busboys and Poets)，这里每个星期二都有诗歌朗诵，不过这次不同，是欧洲诗人的朗诵会，八个国家使馆的文化官员都到场，朗诵自己国家著名诗人的诗句。

五月的华盛顿虽然时而春寒料峭更兼冷雨菲菲，但鲜花盛开，而且有长达一个月的Eupoean Poetry in Motion活动，有很多诗歌朗诵会、纪念会，城里的公共汽车上还印满欧洲诗人的短诗和英文翻译，这是在年度惠特曼诗歌纪念活动之后的又一次小高潮。

这次朗诵的好处是各国代表先用原文然后再读翻译，所以德语诗歌的铿锵（布莱希特）、法国诗歌的柔和（读的波特莱尔和兰波），以及希腊语的音乐感，都能从原文朗读中略有体会。

下面是一首希腊诗人、诺贝尔文学奖获得者George Seferis的诗：

Andromeda
(1935)

In my breast the wound opens again
when the stars descend and become kin to my body
when silence falls under the footsteps of men

These stones sinking into time, how far will they drag me with them?
The sea, the sea, who will be able to drain it dry?
I see the hands beckon each dawn to the vulture and the hawk
bound as I am to the rock that suffering has made mine
I see the trees breathing the black serenity of the dead
and the smiles, so static, of the statues.

另外一首斯洛文尼亚诗人的：

Hours

How lonesome are the midnight hours
as they incline their dark fields
above the quiet night fields
How sad their bronzy throats
as they sing their song, coated in half-black silver.
The cupboards of their chests are empty
Only the dark sounds of night have wandered in.
Their mouths are empty.
Empty and Hungry
How longsome are the midnight hours.
