亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 49

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 哲学 · 健康 · 行动

I rejoice that there are owls. Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and undeveloped nature which men have not recognized. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all have. All day the sun has shone on the surface of some savage swamp, where the single spruce stands hung with usnea lichens, and small hawks circulate above, and the chickadee lisps amid the evergreens, and the partridge and rabbit skulk beneath; but now a more dismal and fitting day dawns, and a different race of creatures awakes to express the meaning of Nature there.

白话

梭罗为有猫头鹰而高兴,让它们替人类发出那些白痴和疯狂的叫声。这种声音适合沼泽和暮色中的树林,暗示着人类尚未认识的广阔未开发的自然。猫头鹰代表了人人都有却未满足的暮色思绪。白天阳光照在原始沼泽上,云杉挂着松萝,小鹰盘旋,山雀鸣叫,鹧鸪和兔子潜行;但更阴郁合适的夜晚来临,另一类生物醒来,表达自然在那里的意义。这鼓励我们接纳自然中看似怪异的部分,它们自有其价值。

上下文

梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中继续描写猫头鹰,将其视为自然中未被认识部分的象征。
