最近常看電視,沉醉在陣陣的"歷史"情境中,串連起某種超越時空的存在感... 從小河文明到國共內戰,從中央山脈古道到澎湖傳統建築,從 30 年前淹沒在翡翠水庫底下的碧山國小,到兩岸分治後那批公費留學中國的台灣留學生,甚至還有上個月在台中西屯出土的大坌坑遺址...

想到這首"屋上提琴手"的插曲:Sunrise Sunset (1971)

...

年紀的關係吧,開始認真好奇一些以前發生的事,對故事、傳說或遺跡的感受也越來越深... 

當那具埋在沙漠中的"小河公主"出土的時候,我竟眼角泛濕,想到這是一個 3800 年前面對死亡的微笑,長長的睫毛,清晰的唇線,帶著 3800 年前的空氣,甚至在"死亡"這個字發明之前...

...

我曾好奇歷史(這個概念)從何而來,曾關注那些歷史中誰輸誰贏的評論,但遠遠看來,歷史真正的價值並不在因果關係的政治詮釋,而是發現:發現那些可以被稱為"歷史"的蛛絲馬跡,一種生活方式... 原來那些陪葬在棺木中的器皿與織物,都在說話。那些服裝、手飾、用具,甚至棺材的形狀,也在說話...

歷史悠悠,有變的,也有不變的...

 

 

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day

They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy in store for me?
