第31章 孤独(第3页)

天才一秒记住【畅想小说网】地址:http://www.cxtra.net

我们在一日三餐的时间里见面。

大家重新相互品尝我们这些陈腐乳酪的味道。

我们必须一致同意若干条礼节习俗,这些是我们所谓的礼尚往来,能够使大家相安无事地相处,避免有失风度的争吵。

我们在邮局碰面,在各种社交场合碰面,在每晚的火炉边碰面,我们的生活太拥挤,相互干扰,彼此牵扯到一起,因此我认为,我们之间已经太缺乏相互尊重了。

当然,也有重要而热忱的聚会,次数少一点也就足够了。

想想工厂中的女工们,生活中永远不会有自己独立的空间,甚至连做梦都不会是一个人。

如果一个人能住上一平方英里,就像我住的地方一样,那情况就会好得多。

人们交往的价值不在于有肌肤之亲,所以我们没有必要整日地待在一起。

……

我的房里有我很多伴儿,特别是早上没有人来访的时候。

让我举例说明吧——也许用这种方式更能清楚地表达我的状况。

我并不比湖中纵声高叫的潜水鸟更寂寞,也不比瓦尔登湖本身更寂寞。

我倒是想获知有谁与这孤独的湖做伴?在它湛蓝的水波上,存在的不是蓝色的魔鬼,而是蓝色的天使。

太阳是孤独的,除非天上布满了乌云,有时候看上去像有两个太阳,但其中一个是假的。

上帝是孤独的,——但是魔鬼就决不会孤独,他看到许多同伙,他要拉帮结派。

我并不比一朵毛蕊花或牧场上的一朵蒲公英更孤独,我不比一片豆叶、一枝酢浆草,或一只马蝇、一只大黄蜂更孤独。

还有密尔溪、风信鸡、北极星或者南风,四月的暴雨、一月的冰雪消融,或者新屋里的第一只蜘蛛——所有这一切的一切,我都不比它们更孤独、更寂寞!
