明天,又一个明天,又一个明天,一天天偷踱着这种琐碎的脚步,直到时间记录的末一个音节;我们的昨天全部给傻子们照明了入土的道路。熄了吧,熄了吧,短蜡烛!人生只是个走影,可怜的演员在台上摇摆了、暴跳了一阵子以后就没有下落了;这是篇荒唐故事,是白痴讲的,充满了喧嚣和吵闹
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.
明天,明天,再一个明天。麦克白看见人生是行走的影子,喧嚣一场,终归于虚无。佛教言诸行无常,缘起性空。二者望见同一片幻灭,落点却截然不同:困在执念里,空便是绝望;破去我执时,空中生起法喜的狂喜。一切声浪、奔波、焦灼皆是暂时显现,看透无常,不必坠入虚无。认清世界本空,方能在起落之间,安住自在。熄灭短促烛光,不是终点;照见泡影之后,才有真正的安宁。
