8月16日是布考斯基的生日,译首他的诗
群众的天才
作者:查尔斯·布考斯基
群众有足够的背叛、仇恨、暴力和荒谬
在任何时间供给任何军队
而最擅长谋杀的人是那些宣称反对谋杀的人
而最擅长仇恨的人是那些宣扬爱的人
而最擅长战争的人是那些宣扬和平的人
那些宣讲上帝的人,需要上帝
那些宣扬和平的人并没有和平
那些宣扬和平的人并没有爱
小心那些传教者
小心那些知者
小心那些一直在读书的人
小心那些厌恶贫穷
或以贫穷为荣的人
小心那些急于赞美的人
因为他们需要赞美回报
小心那些快速审查的人
他们害怕他们不知道的东西
小心那些不断寻求人群的人
因为他们并不孤独
小心平庸男人平庸女人
小心他们的爱,他们的爱是平庸
寻求平庸
但是他们的仇恨中有天才
他们的仇恨中有足够的天才杀死你
杀死任何人
不需要孤独
不理解孤独
他们试图摧毁一切
不同于他们的事物
不能创造艺术
他们不会理解艺术
他们认为他们作为创作者的失败
只不过是世界的一个失败
不能完整地去爱
他们相信你的爱并不完整
然后他们就会恨你
而他们的仇恨就会完美
像一块耀眼的宝石
像一把刀子
像一座山
像一头老虎
像毒药
他们最好的艺术
附原文:
The Genius Of The Crowd
by Charles Bukowski
there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day
and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love
beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average
but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect
like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock
their finest art
