今天要来朗诵一首完整的小诗，是闺蜜英子钦点的一首Emily Dickinson的诗。她在看了我推荐的美剧《狄金森》之后，意犹未尽，就又去买了狄金森的诗。一首她非常喜欢的，if recollecting were forgetting，送给大家。

If recollecting were forgetting
If recollecting were forgetting,
Then I remember not.
And If forgetting, recollecting,
How near I had forgot.
And if to miss, were merry.
And to mourn, were gay,
How very blithe the fingers
That gathered this, Today!

If recollecting were forgetting, 如果记住就是忘却，那我将不再回忆。如果相反的，forgetting，recollecting，忘却就是记住，那么我接近遗忘。如果相思，是欢愉；而哀悼，是喜悦。那我手指何其轻佻，竟可摘得如此美丽。这边讲一个小的语法现象，当前后两句话所表达的意思是一致的时候，相同部分就会省去，if forgetting，recollecting 原句应该是 if forgetting were recollecting，但由于和第一句if recollecting were forgetting句式相同，所以省去了were。诗歌表达了对于回忆和遗忘的轮回，记忆里的一切，有多少真实的成分，更多的，只是虚幻的云彩，他存在过？他不存在过？他是记忆中的样子？他不是记忆中的样子？在时间的长河里，那些回忆永远成了说不清道不尽的虚无缥缈。所以回忆更真实的一个名词，不就是遗忘么。回忆的本质，就是在不断的遗忘。但虽然我们遗忘了，在另一个时间流里，那些曾经记忆中的事情一遍一遍的重演着。他们永远没有消失。那我到底是遗忘了，还是记住了？又或许，这一切都不重要。重要的是，此时此刻，我掬起一捧花，在指尖感受到了生命和死亡的欢愉，交织成了今时今日。

If recollecting were forgetting,
Then I remember not.
And If forgetting, recollecting,
How near I had forgot.
And if to miss, were merry.
And to mourn, were gay,
How very blithe the fingers
That gathered this, Today!
