我们能听见农夫劈砍柴火的声音,大地冰封,不时有鸡鸣狗叫的声音传出。
寒冷的空气,只能把那些尖锐的声音传入我们的耳朵,那些声音听起来短促悦耳。
凡是清醇轻盈的**,稍有波动也很快停止,因为里面的晶体硬块,很快沉到底下去了。
声音从地平线的远处传来,像钟声一样清晰响亮,冬天的空气清新,不像夏天那样混合着许多杂质,因而声音听来也不像夏天那样刺耳模糊。
走在冰封的土地上,声音犹如敲击坚硬的木块那样洪亮,甚至是乡村里最平凡的声响,都听起来美妙动听,树上的冰条,互相撞击,听起来像铃声一样悦耳,乐在其中。
空气里几乎没有水分,水蒸气不是干化,就是凝固成霜了。
空气十分稀薄而且似乎带弹性,人呼吸进去,顿感心旷神怡。
天空似乎被绷紧了,往后移动,从下向上望,感觉像置身于大教堂中,头上是一块块连在一起的弧形的屋顶,空气被过滤得纯粹明净,好像有冰晶沉浮在中间,正如格陵兰的居民告诉我们的,当那里结冰的时候,“海就冒烟,像大火爆发的威力,而且伴有雾气升腾,称为烟雾,这烟雾能让人的手和脸起疱肿胀,并对人体有害。”
但是我们这里的空气,虽然冰寒刺骨,但是质地清醇,可以滋养心肺,提神醒脑。
我们不会把它当作冻霜,而会把它看作仲夏雾气的结晶,经过严寒的凝结,变得更加清醇了。
大自然在冬天是一架旧橱柜,各种干枯了的标本按照它们生长的次序,摆得井然有序。
草原和树林成了一座“植物标本馆”
。
树叶和野草保持着完美的形态,在空气的压力下,不需要用螺丝钉或胶水来固定。
巢不用挂在假树上,虽然树已经枯萎了,可那毕竟是真树,鸟儿在哪里建的,还保留在哪里。
……
就在我们四处游**的这会儿,天空又有阴云密布,雪花纷然而落。
雪越下越大,远处的景物渐渐地脱离了我们的视线。
雪花光顾了每一棵树和田野,无孔不入,痕迹遍布河边、湖畔、小山和低谷。
四足动物都躲藏起来了,小鸟在这平和的时刻里也休息了,周围几乎听不到任何声音,比好天气的日子更加宁静。
可是,渐渐地,山坡、灰墙和篱笆、光亮的冰还有枯叶,所有原来没有被白雪覆盖的,现在都被埋住了,人和动物的足迹也消失了。
大自然轻而易举地就实施了它的法规,把人类行为的痕迹抹擦得干干净净。
听听荷马的诗:“冬天里,雪花降落,又多又快。
风停了,雪下个不停,覆盖了山顶和丘陵,覆盖了长着酸枣树的平原和耕地。
在波澜壮阔的海湾海岸边,雪也纷纷地下着,只是雪花落到海里,就被海水悄无声息地融化了。”
白雪充塞了所有的事物,使万物平等,把它们深深地裹在自然的怀抱里,就像漫漫夏季里的植被,爬上庙宇的柱顶,爬上堡垒的角楼,覆盖人类的艺术品。
