Isn’t that something? 美诗分享

每日优美诗歌分享：

Isn’t that something?

I

Like when

The music happens like this:

Something in His eye grabs hold of a Tambourine in

Me,

Then I turn and lift a violin in someone else,

And they turn, and thus turning continues;

It has reached you now. Isn’t that

Something?

Rumi (13th century)

这首诗歌很短，每个字都认识，可是读完了感觉像考GRE一样，字都认识，组合一起是什么鬼？看不懂啊。

精彩就在另一位土耳其作家Elif Shafak的解析：it is as if we all carry deep inside our hearts a musical instrument waiting to be heard. The only way to tune them is through Love.

马上，再回来读这首诗，感觉就像一首中文歌曲唱的那样：“是谁，拨动我心弦？” 唯有爱有此魔力。不论是心跳如手拨鼓，还是细腻若梵尔铃，只有爱，才能如此拨动我心弦。

Elif还说道：Creativity is contagious. When I hear you sing, I am tempted to write a new story; when you read my story, your soul begins to dance, and so it goes , on and on. The journey is open-minded.

Isn’t that something?

美，音乐、绘画、文学、舞蹈，甚至是从数理化、宇宙浩瀚中来的美，都有共通的美感。读诗，思之，甚喜。
