The Rocking-Horse Winner(木馬贏家)

"The Rocking-Horse Winner" is a short story by D. H. Lawrence.

D.H. Lawrence  (大衛.赫伯特.勞倫斯)

(1885年9月11日-1930年3月2日)


20世紀英國作家,是20世紀英語文學中最重要的人物之一,也是最具爭議性的作家之一。主要成就包括小說、詩歌、戲劇、散文、遊記和書信。

勞倫斯的創作風格大致仍屬於現實主義,作品對情感和性愛的描繪顯得非常直白,毫不隱諱。這在他所處的時代中是很罕見的。

《查泰萊夫人的情人》曾經在英國引發了一場重大的淫穢醜聞。由於書中對性愛露骨的描寫(或許也因為「情人」是來自於工人階級),英國法院甚至以「猥褻罪」為名立案審查。

Piano

Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me; 
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see 
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings 
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings. 
In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song 
Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong 
To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside 
And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide. 
So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour 
With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour 
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast 
Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.
