For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness. (1)I’m lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up.(2)And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out. (3)Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self is hiding.(4)It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and perhaps,by looking again at each one as though it were a person. (5)It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains, but the moment comes when the world falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood. 本文选自美国女作家May Sarton (1912-1995) 的 “The Rewards of Living a Solitary Life”.
