徐明义画集（六）—夜归（彩墨）

夜归（彩墨）

夜幕低垂，一轮明月挂在树稍，两个夜归人擎着手电筒踥踥地穿过树林回家。屋檐窗櫺内透出一点点灯光，在沉寂的月夜里，想必还有许多像这种倚闾望归人的热切灯光吧。

夜归，真是很亲切的题材呢。现在五六十岁曾经住过乡下的人大概都能体会出这种感觉。

苏东坡访友，说：“庭下如积水空明，水中藻荇交横。⋯⋯”想他访友的时节一定不出夏季月中望日之夜，否则如何去体会月夜林相下的美景呢。

Going Home at Night

When visiting a friend, the poet Su Dongpo once said, “The duckweed in the pond drifts under the moonlight in the courtyard⋯” I think it was summertime, when the moon is low, when he visited his friend. Otherwise, how would he know the beauty of a moonlit night in the woods?＠
