TS Eliot :: Ash Wednesday




T・S・エリオット『灰の水曜日』より

受験勉強中、心の支えにしていた言葉がある。以下のTSエリオットの詩の断片だ。

分けるとか一緒にするとかは問題ではない
これがその土地だ 我らは受け継いだのだ  T.S.エリオット

Ash-Wednesday　by T S Eliot

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?)
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?

Because I do not hope to know again
The infirm glory of the positive hour
…

II 
…
Under a juniper-tree the bones sang, scattered and shining
We are glad to be scattered, we did little good to each other,
Under a tree in the cool of the day, with the blessing of sand,
Forgetting themselves and each other, united
In the quiet of the desert. This is the land which ye
Shall divide by lot. And neither division nor unity
Matters. This is the land. We have our inheritance.

0:00Ash Wednesday because I do not hope to
0:04turn again because I do not hope because
0:08I do not hope to turn desiring this
0:11man's gift and that man's scope
0:13I no longer strive to strive toward such
0:17things why should the age at Eagle
0:19stretch its wings
0:21why should I mourn the vanished power of
0:24the usual rain because I do not hope to
0:28know again the infirm glory of the
0:31positive hour because I do not think
0:33because I know I shall not know the one
0:36veritable transitory power because I
0:39cannot drink there are where trees
0:41flower and springs flow well there is
0:44nothing again because I know that time
0:48is always time and place is always and
0:51only place and what is actual is actual
0:53only for one time and only for one place
0:56I rejoice that things are as they are
1:00and I renounce the Blessed face and
1:03renounce the voice because I cannot hope
1:07to turn again consequently I rejoice
1:10having to construct something upon which
1:12to rejoice and pray to God to have mercy
1:16upon us and I pray that I may forget
1:19these matters that with myself I too
1:21much discuss too much explain because I
1:26do not hope to turn again that these
1:28words answer for what is done not to be
1:31done again may the judgment not be too
1:34heavy upon us because these wings are no
1:38longer wings to fly but merely vans to
1:41beat the air the air which is now
1:43thoroughly small and dry smaller and
1:47drier than the will teach us to care and
1:51not to care teach us to sit still pray
1:57for us sinners now and at the hour of
1:59our death
1:59pray for us now that they are about
2:01their lady three white leopard sat under
2:07a juniper tree in the cool of the day
2:10having fed to satiety on my legs my
2:13heart my liver on that which had been
2:15contained in the hollow round of my
2:17skull
2:18and God said shall these bones live
2:22shall these bones live
2:25and that which had been contained in the
2:27bones which were already dry said
2:30chirping because of the goodness of this
2:33lady and because of her loveliness and
2:36because she honours a virgin in
2:38meditation we shine with brightness and
2:41I who am here dissembled proffer my
2:45deeds to oblivion and my love to the
2:48posterity of the desert and the fruit of
2:50the good it is this which recovers my
2:53guts the strings of my eyes and the
2:56indigestible portions which the leopards
2:59reject the lady is withdrawn in a white
3:03gown to contemplation in a white gown
3:05let the whiteness of bones are toned to
3:08forgetfulness there is no life in them
3:11as I am forgotten and would be forgotten
3:14so I would forget thus devoted
3:16concentrated in purpose and God said
3:20prophesy to the wind to the wind only
3:23for only the wind will listen and the
3:26bone sang chirping with the burden of
3:29the grasshopper saying Lady of silences
3:34calm and distress dawn and most whole
3:37rows of memory Rose of forgetfulness
3:40exhausted and life-giving worried repose
3:43for the single Rose is now the garden
3:46where all love's end germinate dormant
3:50of love unsatisfied the greater torment
3:53of love satisfied end of the endless
3:57journey to no end
3:59conclusion of all that is inconclusive
4:01all speech without word and word of no
4:04speech grace to the mother for the
4:07garden where all love ends under a
4:12juniper tree the bone sang scattered and
4:15shining we are glad to be scattered we
4:18did little good to each other under a
4:21tree in the cool of the
4:22they with the blessing of sand
4:24forgetting themselves and each other
4:27United in the quiet of the desert this
4:31is the land which ye shall divide by
4:34loft and neither division or unity
4:37matters this is the land we have our
4:42inheritance at the first turning of the
4:48second stair I turned and saw below the
4:53same shape twisted on the banister under
4:56the vapor in the fetid air struggling
4:58with the devil of the stairs who wears
5:01the deceitful face of hope and of
5:04despair at the second turning of the
5:08second stair I let them twisting turning
5:10below there were no more faces and the
5:13stair was dark damp jagged like an old
5:16man's mouth
5:17dribbling beyond repair or the tooth
5:21gullet of an aged shark at the first
5:25turning of the third stair was a slotted
5:28window bellied like the pigs fruit and
5:31beyond the Hawthorn blossom and the
5:33pasture seen the broad backed figure
5:36dressed in blue and green enchanted the
5:41may time with an antique flute blown
5:44hair is sweet brown hair over the mouth
5:48blown lilac and brown her distraction
5:53music of the flute stops and steps of
5:56the mind over the third star fading
5:59fading strength beyond hope and despair
6:03climbing the third stair Lord I'm not
6:08worthy lord I am not worthy but Speak
6:13the word only who walked between the
6:19violet and violet walked between the
6:22various ranks of varied green going in
6:26white and blue in Mary's color talking
6:30of trivial things in ignorance and in
6:33knowledge of eternal
6:35who moved among the others as they
6:37walked who then made strong the
6:39fountains and made fresh the springs
6:42made cool the dry rock and made firm the
6:46sand in blue of locks the blue of Mira's
6:50color sylvania roofs here are the years
6:55that walk between baring away the
6:58fiddles and flutes restoring one who
7:02moves in the time between sleep and
7:05waking wearing white light folded cheese
7:08about her folded the New Year's walk
7:13restoring through a bright cloud of
7:15Tears the years restoring with a new
7:19verse the ancient rhyme redeemed the
7:22time redeemed the unread vision in the
7:26Haier dream while jeweled unicorns draw
7:29by the gilded hearse the silent sister
7:33veiled in white and blue between use
7:36behind the garden God whose flute his
7:39breathless bent her head and signs but
7:42spoke no word but the fountain sprang up
7:46and a bird sang down redeem the time
7:49redeemed the dream the token of the word
7:52unheard unspoken till the wind shake a
7:57thousand whispers from the you and after
8:01this our exile if the last bird is lost
8:08if the spent word is spent
8:11if the unheard unspoken word is unspoken
8:14unheard still is the unspoken word the
8:18word unheard the word without a word the
8:21word within the world and for the world
8:24and the light shone in darkness and
8:27against the word the unskilled world
8:30still whirled about the center of the
8:32silent word o my people
8:36what have I done unto thee where shall
8:40the would be found where will the word
8:43resound not here there is not enough
8:45silence not on the sea or on the islands
8:47on the mainland in the desert or the
8:49rain land for those who walk in darkness
8:52both in the daytime and in the night
8:55time the right time in the right place
8:57are not here no place of grace for those
9:00who avoid the face no time to rejoice
9:04for those who walk among noise and deny
9:07the voice will the veiled sister pray
9:11for those who walk in darkness who chose
9:15the and oppose the those who are torn on
9:18the horn between season and season time
9:21and time between our and our word and
9:24word power and power those who wait in
9:27darkness will the veiled sister pray for
9:31children at the gate who will not go
9:33away and cannot pray pray for those who
9:37chose and oppose oh my people what have
9:42I done unto thee will the veiled sister
9:47between the slender yew trees pray for
9:50those who offend her and up terrified
9:52and cannot surrender and affirm before
9:55the world and to die between the rocks
9:57in the last desert between the last blue
10:01rocks the desert in the garden the
10:03garden in the desert of brows spitting
10:06from the mouth the withered Appleseed o
10:10my people although I do not hope to turn
10:18again although I do not hope although I
10:21do not hope to turn wavering between the
10:26prophet and the lasts in this brief
10:28transit where the dreams cross the dream
10:31crossed Twilight between birth and dying
10:33bless me father though I do not wish to
10:36wish these things from the wide window
10:38toward the granite Shore the white sails
10:41still fly seaward seaward flying and
10:45broken wings and the lost heart stiffens
10:50and rejoices in the last lilac and the
10:53last sea voices and the weak spirit
10:56quickens to rebell for the bent golden
10:58rod than the Lost sea smell
11:01quickens to recover the cry of quail and
11:04the whirling plover and the brine die
11:07creates the empty forms between the
11:11ivory gates and smell renews assault
11:14saver of the sandy earth this is a time
11:19of tension between dying and birth the
11:22place of solitude where three dreams
11:25cross between Blue Rocks but when the
11:29voice is shaken from the yew tree drift
11:31away let the other you be shaken and
11:33reply blessed sister
11:37Holy Mother spirit of the fountain
11:39spirit of the garden suffer a snob
11:42democracy ultras falsehood teach us to
11:45care and not to care
11:47teach us to sit still even among these
11:50rocks our peace in his will and even
11:54among these rocks sister mother and
11:57spirit of the river spirit of the sea
12:00suffer me not to be separated and let my
12:04cry come unto thee
