在天地性靈之間：楊牧情詩的巨大張力

Between Sex and Spirit of Heaven and Earth: The Enormous Tensility of Lyrics of Yang Mu

楊牧不但是抒情詩的巨擘，也是情詩的大家。從《水之湄》到《燈船》，他初次展現了甜蜜憂愁的情詩初貌。之後，從《傳說》到《禁忌的遊戲》，楊牧情詩一轉而為充滿隱喻暗示、苦悶蕩動，尤其是〈十二星象練習曲〉，以天與人、性與靈的相抗，表現對時代的象徵與抗議，成為楊牧第一篇長篇情詩巨構。到了《海岸七疊》，楊牧的情詩提升至性、靈合一的境界，乃有以草木蘊藏愛情之平淡深意的〈盈盈草木疏〉，以及以性、靈合一展現愛情之深刻美好的〈子午協奏曲〉，此兩首詩並成為楊牧另外兩首長篇情詩巨構，尤其後者更是楊牧情詩的巔峰之作。而從〈十二星象練習曲〉的天象到〈盈盈草木疏〉的地貌，以及從性、靈相抗到〈子午協奏曲〉中的時空交響、性靈合一，楊牧以情詩呈現他在天地、時空與性靈之間交融合一的巨大張力與美好成果。

From On the Water Margin to Lantern Boat, Yang Mu, the authority as well as a master of lyrics, for the first time displayed the sweet and gloomy expression of lyrics. Furthermore, from Legends to A Game of Taboos, Yang's lyrics turned to fill with metaphors and turbulence. Particularly, the counteraction between heaven and people, sex and spirit in Etudes: The Twelve Earthly Branches presented the symbol towards the era and the protest and became the first saga-poem of Yang Mu. In The Coast with Seven Turns, Yang's lyrics were promoted to the union of sex and spirit that there were Ying's Commentary on Vegetation, containing love in plants, and Meridian Concerto, presenting the union of sex and spirit. These two poems have become another two saga-poems of Yang Mu; especially, the latter was the greatest work of Yang's lyrics. From the astronomical phenomena in Etudes: The Twelve Earthly Branches to the terrain features in Ying's Commentary on Vegetation, as well as from the counteraction between sex and spirit to the symphony between space and time and the union of sex and spirit in Meridian Concerto, Yang's lyrics presented an enormous tensility and nice effect on the communion between heaven and earth, space and time, as well as sex and spirit.
