亨利·戴维·梭罗：瓦尔登湖·摘录 93
亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 认知 · 历史
Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children’s hands, in front-yard plots,—now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;—the last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family. Little did the dusky children think that the puny slip with its two eyes only, which they stuck in the ground in the shadow of the house and daily watered, would root itself so, and outlive them, and house itself in the rear that shaded it, and grown man’s garden and orchard, and tell their story faintly to the lone wanderer a half century after they had grown up and died,—blossoming as fair, and smelling as sweet, as in that first spring. I mark its still tender, civil, cheerful, lilac colors.

白话
门框和门槛消失一代人后，那棵活泼的丁香依然生长，每年春天开出芬芳的花，供沉思的旅人采摘。它曾由孩子们亲手种在前院，如今立在墙边、退到牧场，让位给新生的树林——它是那家族最后的血脉，唯一的幸存者。那些黝黑的孩子哪会想到，他们插在屋荫下、每天浇水的两芽小枝，会扎根如此之深，比他们活得久，占据屋后遮荫之地，长成男人的花园果园，并在他们长大死去半个世纪后，向孤独的漫游者隐约讲述他们的故事——花开得一样美，香得一样甜。我注意到它依然温柔、文明、欢快的淡紫色。
