Words for This Book

?--A Text from the Scene of the South

By Cheng Lie,? tr. by Chen Zihong

When money becomes the criterion that overrides all human activity, poetry writing is a cruel task in the world. If he lacks the spiritual will and emotional strength, for a poet, he's having a hard time keeping up.

More often, I realized that I could not put together the fragments of writing consciousness and memory in a short period of time. Many times, while I clearly narrated a certain part of something, the other part of memory quietly slipped away unexpectedly. But the missing part didn't prevent me from describing it, and it would come back. Maybe it's hidden in another period of confusion.

The spillover effect of time has some kind of uncertainty influence on writing. The will of man is almost defeated and broken, while in the state of embarrassment, or by the gray time. Beyond pale day and night alternating, all my presentiments of words came from how I felt when I was awakened by the time many times. On countless nights, an encyclopedia that fascinates me has been bringing me into the depths fantastic, with the gilded book cover that continues to increase its influence. I would like to thank the fantasy and reality - these two powerful wings- which enable me to decipher the codes of symbols. This book is just a regular cluster of symbols, which sings the nothingness of time. Because of pale moon and traditions,? the art that I praised as well, it's destined that I can only be a poet, a coder for poem text and even an observer who lingers on other literary genres and arts.

Per se, I think of a perfectionist who had been trying to find a way of writing in an attempt to perfect a poem or another work. Memory acquiring is a common writing habit. When a poem or novel is finished, the author does not be his keeper (only just a reader.) In order to restore the aesthetic intention of non-verbal form in his memory, the author himself reads again and trying to regain the initial state in a sense.?

I would like to have a balance, get rid of the boring word games completely and be able to stand on the bank of words for showing the loneliness of genius. As far as I know, the poems in this book that written at the behest of Goddess Luna and countless stars, are the most natural implicit and ancient expression of human beings.?

一個南方的寫作文本

程烈

當(dāng)金錢凌駕于人類的一切活動時，詩歌寫作就成為世上最殘酷的一件事。對一位詩人而言，如果沒有一種精神意志和情感力量的支撐，是很難堅持下去的。

時常感到無法在某個短時間內(nèi)，把自己的寫作意識與記憶的碎片集合起來，往往在清晰記敘某一部分線索的同時，另外一部分的記憶悄無聲息地意外溜走了。但這部分丟失的意識，并不妨礙我對于所需記憶的渲染，它還會再回來，也許就在撲朔迷離的另一段時間當(dāng)中。

溢出的時間，對寫作具有某些不確定性。在倥傯之境，晦澀不明的日子幾乎快把人的意志摧毀，貧乏的晝夜不斷交替，文字全部的預(yù)感均源自一次次被時間喚醒時的感覺。在夜晚，一部著了魔的百科全書帶我走進魅影深處，燙金的文字在不斷加碼，歸功于幻想和現(xiàn)實這兩只堅韌的翅膀，得以破解符號的秘密。這只是一本普通的抒寫時間虛無的卷帙符號。因為淡月，因為傳統(tǒng)，和贊美的藝術(shù)，注定了我只可能是一個詩人，一個詩歌的文字編碼者，然后才是一位其他文學(xué)藝術(shù)的逗留者。

由此，隨想到一個完美主義者，一直在努力尋找的寫作途徑，以求一首詩或某個作品能夠臻于完美之境?；貞?，作為寫作習(xí)慣具有普遍性，當(dāng)一首詩或一部小說完成后，它的作者就成為一位讀者。再一次閱讀的過程，則是為了幫助記憶恢復(fù)無語境界的審美意圖，在某種意義上回到作者創(chuàng)作原初的那一刻。? ?

希望有一種均衡，能夠徹底擺脫無聊的文字游戲，站在一切詞匯之上，呈現(xiàn)天才的孤獨。就我所知，書中那些由月神與無數(shù)的繁星把握、授意而寫下的詩歌，才是人類最自然含蓄而古老的表達。? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
