老人诗思如枯泉,辘轳不下瓮盎干。
旧诗展卷惊三年,粲然佳句疑昔贤。
老来百事不如前,藜羹稻饭嗟独便。
饱食余暇尽日眠,安用琢句愁心肝。
老人诗思如枯泉,辘轳不下瓮盎干。
旧诗展卷惊三年,粲然佳句疑昔贤。
老来百事不如前,藜羹稻饭嗟独便。
饱食余暇尽日眠,安用琢句愁心肝。
老人作诗的思绪如同枯竭的泉水,
井轱辘不再转动,瓦瓮水罐都已干涸。
展开旧日诗卷,惊觉已过三年时光;
其中灿烂佳句,简直让人怀疑是古代贤人所写。
年老之后,各种事情都不如从前;
只有藜菜羹和糙米饭,可叹唯独这点还算方便。
吃饱后闲暇终日,我整天都在睡觉;
何必再雕琢诗句,让心肝忧愁烦恼?
An old man's poetic thoughts are like a dried-up spring,
The pulley won't descend, the jars and pots are dry.
Unrolling scrolls of old poems, I'm shocked—three years have passed;
Their brilliant lines, so fine, seem works of sages gone by.
In old age, nothing fares as well as in days past;
I sigh, finding simple meals of greens and rice my sole ease.
With belly full and leisure long, I sleep the whole day through;
Why bother carving verses, vexing heart and liver with unease?
面对创作周期的枯竭,展现对认知局限的坦然。
诗人以枯泉喻诗思枯竭,自嘲年老才尽。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
