《二十四詩品》是唐代司空圖(一說李嗣真)編著的一部古代詩歌美學(xué)和詩歌理論專著,本身也是批評的文學(xué)作品——一組美麗的寫景四言詩,用種種形象來比擬、烘托不同的詩格風(fēng)格,頗得神貌,并在詩歌批評中建立了一種特殊的體裁。
司空圖·《二十四詩品·雄渾》
大用外腓,真體內(nèi)充。
反虛入渾,積健為雄。
具備萬物,橫絕太空。
荒荒油云,寥寥長風(fēng)。
超以象外,得其環(huán)中。
持之非強(qiáng),來之無窮。
Energy-Absolute
Expenditure of force leads to outward decay,
Spiritual existence means inward fullness.
Let us revert to Nothing and enter the Absolute,
Hoarding up strength for Energy,
Freighted with eternal principles,
Athwart the mighty void,
Where cloud-masses darken,
And the wind blows ceaseless around,
Beyond the range of conceptions,
Let us gain the Centre,
And there hold fast without violence,
Fed from an inexhaustible supply.
