摘要
沉默有如黑洞,带领读者进入诗的无边宇宙。在现代诗里,沉默以意象或陈述表现。它经常指向读者所发现的,字里行间的意蕴或符旨;但是阅读行为中"沉默"或"空隙"更难能可贵,更能在飘移的符征中生发阅读趣味。沉默是台湾中生代诗人罗任玲诗作的主要特色。"安静""静默""祥和""安详""宁静",是罗任玲诗中经常出现的关键词;纷扰世局和流行诗潮完全撼动不了她充满哲思的安详气质。倘若按照陈述语和意象语在诗行中的比重区分,罗任玲诗中的沉默至少有三种表现方式。其一,意象语虽未主宰一切叙述,但是整合叙述;其二,由藕断丝连的意象将死亡的想象置诸生存的描绘,在生死的纸上历练中凝结现实;其三,几乎泯除陈述语,而每行的意象之间就有隐约的命题,或从句式,或从语法,和意象互为表里。
Like the black hole,silence takes the readers to the boundless poetic universe.In modern poetry,si-lence is presented in imagery and declaratives.It often refers the readers to the indication and significationthey find between the lines; the estimable silence in reading lies in the fun experienced among the floating sig-nifiers.Silence is the main feature of Taiwanese poet Luo Renling."Quietness","muteness","calmness","peacefulness",and"serenity"are the key words that frequently appear in her poetry; the disturbing worldand the popular poetic trends can hardly shake her composed philosophical qualities.If calculated by the pro-portion of declarative statements and imagery expressions used,silence is presented in at least three manners:1.imagery expressions integrate narration if not dominating it; 2.severed but still connected imagery expres-sions of imaginary death are used in describing survival,allowing the experience of life and death on the paperto condense into reality; 3.declarative statements are almost all buried in imagery expressions that seem to con-tain propositions seen from their sentence patterns,grammatical structures,and interactive imageries.
