at; over a book which was yours; he could only think of love。 in that word ; beautiful in all languages; but most so in yours — amor mio — is comprised m y existence here and hereafter。 i feel i exist here; and i fear that i shall exi st here after — to what purpose you will decide; my destiny rests with you; and you are a woman; seventeen years of age; and two out of a convent。 i wish that you had stayed there; with all my heart — or at least that i had never met you in your married state。

    but all this is too late。 i love you; and you love me — at least you say so ; and act as if you did so; which last is a great consolation in all events。 but i more than love you; and cannot ease to love you。

    think of me sometimes when the alps and the ocean divide us — but they neve r will; unless you wish it。

    贝婷。布伦塔诺致歌德

    贝婷。布伦塔诺

    贝婷。布伦塔诺(1785—1859),德国女作家,本名伊丽莎白。布伦塔诺,常与贝多芬 和歌德通信。1835年,其《歌德与一个孩子的通信》一书发表。她是当时德国革命文艺运动 “年轻的德国”的热情支持者。

    亲爱的歌德:

    你了解我的心;你明白我心里只有向往、思念、预感和渴望;你生活在精神的世界里, 它们给你神圣的智慧。你一定要滋养给我的心智。我以前不曾懂得向你索求,你都已经给了 我。我的才智很浅薄,但我的爱情却很深厚;你一定要使它们得到平衡。爱情往前发展,理 智却不曾跟随,这样的爱不能平静。你明白我有多爱你;你友好、温柔、痴情。请告诉我, 我的心在何时失去了平衡。我会明白你无声的暗示。

    你落在我身上的注视、你印在我唇上的热吻,都向我说明了这一切。对于我这样的人来 说,这令人高兴的眼神和热吻使我懂得了更多。我相隔很远,我所给你的注视和热吻,对我 来说已逐渐陌生。我一定要回忆在你怀抱里的温柔时光。于是我开始哭泣,但不知什么时候 眼泪已流干。是的,在深深的静谧之中,他对我一往情深(我就是这样想的)。难道我就不 应该怀着永不动摇的深情,和他遥通心声吗?啊,想一想我的心要对你说些什么吧!我要对 你没完没了地耳鬓厮磨。我希望此生惟一的幸福就是你对我的情意连绵不绝。啊,亲爱的朋 友,我只需要你的暗示,说你的心里只有我。

    爱你至永远的

    贝婷

    bettina brentano to goethe

    bettina brentano

    1808

    dear goethe;

    you know my heart; you know that all there is desire; thought; boding and lo nging; you live among spirits; and they give you divine wisdom。 you must nourish me; you give all that in advance which i do not understand to ask for。 my mind has a small embrace; my love a large one; you must bring them to a balance。 love cannot be quiet till the mind matches its growth; you are matched to my love; y ou are friendly; kind; and indulgent; let me know when my heart is off the balan ce。 i understand your silent signs。

    a look from your eyes into mine; a kiss from you upon my lips; instructs me in all; what might seem delightful to learn; to one who; like me; had experience from those。 i am far from you; mine are become strange to me。 i must ever retur n in thought to that hour when you hold me in the soft fold of your arm。 then i begin to weep; but the tears dry again unawares。 yes; he reaches with his love ( thus i think) over to me in this concealed stillness; and should not i; with my eternal undisturbed longing; reach to him in the distance。 ah; conceive what my heart has to say to you; it overflows with soft sighs all whisper to you。 be my only happiness on earth your friendly will to me。 o; dear friend; give me but a sign that you are conscious of me。

    yours forever;

    bettina

    被爱的人

    佚名

    如今,“被爱”的人有各种各样的形象。最容易刺激恋情发生的人往往是异国他乡的人 。一个人年老力衰的老爷爷,很可能依然深爱着二十年前的某个午后在街上碰到的一个陌生 女孩。一个传教士可能爱上一个堕落的女子。被爱的那个人或许会心怀不忠、油头粉面并且 沾染恶习。对这些缺点,爱他的人也会和其他人一样明白,但这些丝毫也不会影响爱情之火 的燃烧。一个最普通的人,也会成为美如沼泽的毒百合的炽烈爱慕的对象。一个好人,很可 能激起凶暴又品质恶劣的人的爱恋;一个胡言『乱』语的疯子,很可能让某人的灵魂产生一种温 柔而质朴的田园情调。所以,任何爱情的价值或品质,都是由施爱者本人所决定的。

    正是基于这个原因,大多数人宁愿选择“爱人”而不是选择“被爱”。几乎每个人都想 成为一个施爱者。大概来说,有一点奇怪的是,大多数人难以承受被爱的状态。被爱者有很 明确的理由对施爱者既怕又恨,因为施爱者总是想方设法地要把被爱者看得清清楚楚。施爱 者总渴望与被爱者尽可能有一些关系,尽管这样做只会给他自己带来痛苦。

    the beloved

    anonymous

    now; the beloved can also be of any description。 the mostoutlandish people c an be the stimulus for love。 a man may be a doddering great grandfather and stil l love only a strange girl he saw in the streets of cheehaw one afternoon two de cades past。 the preacher may love a fallen woman。 the beloved may be treacherous ; greasyheaded and given to evil habits。 yes; and the lover may see this as cl early as anyone else — but that does not affect the evolution of his love one w hit。 a most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild; extravaga nt; and beautiful as the poison lilies of the swamp。 a good man may be the stimu lus for a love both violent and debased; or a jabbering madman may bring about i n the soul of someone a tender and simple idyll。 therefore; the value and qualit y of any love is determined solely by the lover himself。

    it is for this reason that most of us would rather love than be loved。 almos t everyone wants to be the lover。 and the curt truth is that; in a deep secret w ay; the state of being beloved is intolerable to many。 the beloved fears and hat es the lover; and with the best of reasons。 for the lover is forever trying to s trip bare his beloved。 the lover craves any possible relation with the beloved; even if this experience can cause him only pain。

    

第1卷 第四章

    拿破仑。波拿巴致玛丽。约瑟芬

    拿破仑。波拿巴

    拿破仑。波拿巴(1769—1821),法国政治家,军事家;法兰西第一帝国和百日王朝的 皇帝,曾率军征服了几乎整个欧洲。

    亲爱的玛丽:

    我收到你的信了,我爱慕的人儿。你的信使我充满欢乐……自离开你以来,我一直愁眉 不展、郁郁寡欢。

    我惟一的幸福就是伴随着你。我不停地回想着你的吻、你的泪以及那甜蜜的嫉妒。我『迷』 人的约瑟芬的魅力如同一团炽热的火那样在我的心里燃烧着。我何时才能在你身边度过每一 分、每一刻,除了爱你以外,什么也不做;除了爱你、向你倾诉我对你的爱并向你证明我爱 你时的那种愉快,我什么都不想。我不能相信不久之前爱过你,从那以后我感到自己对你的 爱增加了一千倍。自从我们相识以后,我一天比一天更爱慕你。这恰恰证明了拉。布鲁耶尔 说的“爱总是突如其来”多么地不合实际啊。啊,但愿我能看到你有一点点的美中不足,但 愿你能少几分优雅、少几分姣好、再少几分妩媚吧。但是坚决不要嫉妒,坚决不要泪水。你 的泪水可以使我神魂颠倒——它们使我血『液』沸腾、燃烧。请相信我,我每时每刻都在思念着 你,因为你,这思念绵绵不绝,我所有的意愿都顺从你。你要好好休息,愿你早日康复。请 回到我身边吧,不管怎么说,在我们谢世之前,我们应当可以这么说:“我们曾拥有过那么 多幸福的日子啊!”给你千百万个甜蜜的吻,一并吻你的爱犬。

    to marie josephine

    napoleon bonaparte

    dear marie;

    i have your letter; my adorable love。 it has filled my heart with joy… sinc e i left you i have been sad all the time。

    my only happiness is near you。 i go over endlessly in my thought your kisses ; your tears; your delicious jealousy。 the charm of my wonderful josephine kindl es a living; blazing fire in my heart and senses。 when shall i be able to pass e very minute near you; with nothing to do but to love you and nothing to think of but the pleasure of telling you of it and giving you proof of it。 i loved you s ome time ago; since then i feel that i love you a thousand times better。 ever si nce i have known you i adore you more every day。 that proves how wrong is that s aying of la bruyere “love comes all of a sudden。〃 ah; let me see some of your f aults; be less beautiful; less graceful; less tender; less good。 but never be je alous and never shed tears。 your tears send me out of my mindthey set my very blood on fire。 believe me that it is utterly impossible for me to have a single thought that is not yours; a single fancy that is not submissive to your will。 r est well。 restore your health。 come back to me and then at any rate before we di e we ought to be able to say: “we were happy for so very many days!〃 millions o f kisses even to your dog。

    论爱情

    弗朗西斯。培根

    弗朗西斯。培根(1561—1626),英国著名的哲学家和科学家。他在文艺复兴时期的巨人 中被尊称为哲学史和科学史上划时代的人物。培根是近代哲学史上首先提出经验论原则的哲 学家,对近代科学的建立起了积极的推动作用,对人类哲学史、科学史都作出了重大的历史 贡献。为此,罗素尊称培根为“给科学研究程序进行逻辑组织化的先驱”。

    舞台上的爱情往往要比生活中的爱情美好得多。因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的 素材,但在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。它有时像那引诱人的魔女,有时又像那复仇的女 神。

    你应该看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古代、现代,只要是其英名能永铭于人类记 忆中的),没有一个人是因爱情而发狂的;完成伟大事业的人中只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底 亚是例外。虽然前者本『性』就荒『淫』好『色』,但后者却是足智多谋的人。这说明爱情不仅会占领开 明宽广的胸怀,也能闯入壁垒森严的心灵——只要你抵御不严的话。

    埃辟克拉斯曾说过一句傻话:“人生不过是一场戏。”似乎人类不应去努力追求高尚的 事业,而只应像玩偶般地逢场作戏。虽然做爱情的奴隶与那些只顾吃喝的禽兽是不同的,但 毕竟也只
