    在天國花園里,在知識樹底下,有一叢玫瑰花。在這兒,那第一朵開出的玫瑰花生出一只鳥來。它飛起來像一道閃光。它的色彩華麗,它的歌聲美妙。
    不過當夏娃摘下那顆知識的果子的時候,當她和亞當被驅(qū)出了天國花園的時候,有一顆火星從復(fù)仇天使的火劍上落到這鳥兒的巢里去,把它燒起來。鳥兒就在火中被焚死了。不過從巢里的那個火紅的蛋中飛出一只新的鳥兒——世界上的鳳凰。
    神話上面說,這只鳳凰住在阿拉伯;它每過一百年就把自己在巢里燒死一次。不過每次總有一個新的鳳凰——世界上的鳳凰——從那個紅蛋里飛出來。
    這鳥兒在我們的周圍飛翔,快速得像閃電;它的顏色非常美麗,歌聲非常悅耳。當母親坐在她孩子的搖籃旁的時候,它就站在枕頭上,拍著翅膀,在孩子頭上形成一個光圈。它飛過這樸素的房間。這里面有太陽光;那張簡陋的桌上發(fā)出紫羅蘭花的香氣。
    但是鳳凰不僅僅是一只阿拉伯的鳥兒。它在北極光的微曦中飛過拉普蘭的冰凍的原野;它在短暫的格陵蘭的夏天里,在黃花中間走過。在法龍②的銅山下,在英國的煤礦里,它作為一個全身布滿了灰塵的蛾子,在虔誠的礦工膝上攤開的那本《圣經(jīng)》上面飛。它在一片荷葉上,順著恒河的圣水向下流。印度姑娘的眼睛一看到它就閃出亮光。
    這只鳳凰!你不認識它嗎?這只天國的鳥兒,這只歌中的神圣的天鵝!它作為一個多嘴的烏鴉,坐在德斯比斯的車上,拍著粘滿了渣滓的黑翅膀。它用天鵝的紅嘴在冰島的豎琴上彈出聲音;作為奧丁的烏鴉坐在莎士比亞的肩上,同時在他耳邊低聲地說:“不朽!”它在詩歌比賽的時候,飛過瓦特堡的騎士宮殿。
    這只鳳凰!你不認識它嗎?它對你唱著《馬賽曲》;你吻著從它翅膀上落下的羽毛。它從天國的光輝中飛下來;也許你就在這時把頭掉開,去看那翅上帶著銀紙的、坐著的麻雀吧。
    天國的鳥兒!它每一個世紀重生一次——從火焰中出生,在火焰中死去!你的鑲著金像框的畫像懸在有錢人的大廳里,但是你自己常常是孤獨地、茫然地飛來飛去。你是一個神話——“阿拉伯的鳳凰”。
    在天國花園里,你在那知識樹下,在那第一朵玫瑰花里出生的時候,上帝吻了你,給了你一個正確的名字——“詩”。
