光线从窗户射进来,迷迷离离,竟然使得洗脸、刷牙、刮胡子、穿衣服这些日常小事也显得很离奇古怪。
接着太阳出来了,到我坐下来吃早餐时,太阳的光彩已经是绚丽夺目,给雪地添上一抹柔和的淡粉色。
餐厅的窗户成了一幅可爱的日本版画,屋外的小梅树愉快地沐浴着日光,枝杈上镶嵌的淡粉色的雪花巧妙地装点着树干。
过了一两个小时,万物都成了寒气四溢、白蓝交辉的发光体,世界再次焕然一新,那精巧的日本版画已然消失。
我从书房的窗户望去,穿过花园,越过草地,看到那远处的低丘,大地晶莹皎洁,天空一片铅灰,所有的树木都阴森恐怖——确实有种非同寻常的危险蕴藏在这景象之中。
它好像把我们这个与英国中心毗邻的宜人乡村变成了一个残忍冷酷的荒原。
在那幽暗的矮树林中,似乎有一队骑兵随时都会从里面冲杀出来,随时都会听到刀剑无情的砍杀声,也可能会看到远方某一处雪地被鲜血染红。
——这就是我看到的情景。
这时情况又在变化。
光亮已经消逝,那恐怖的迹象也**然无存。
雪下得正紧,大片大片柔软的雪花扬扬洒洒,因而人们几乎看不清对面那浅浅的山谷,厚厚的积雪压着屋顶,树木也都弯下了腰,映着影影绰绰的光芒,乡村教堂的风标依然清晰可见,然而它已变成安徒生笔下的某种动物了。
我的书房独立于整所房子,从这儿我可以看到幼儿室的孩子们把鼻尖紧紧地贴在玻璃窗上。
突然,我的脑海里响起一首儿歌,虽然音韵不协调,但在我孩提时,每当鼻尖紧贴着冰冷的玻璃凝视着飘舞的雪花,总唱起它:
雪花,雪花,飘得快,
洁白的雪花真可爱!
苏格兰宰了多少鹅,
片片鹅毛这边飘落!
