The living windmill is not only beautiful but romantic too: a willing, man-serving creature, yoked to the elements, a whirling monster, often a thing of terror. No one can stand very near the crashing sweeps of a windmill in half of a gale without a frightening of the hearta feeling comparable to that which comes from watching the waves break over a wall in a storm. And to be within the mill at such a time is to know something of sounds very sources; it is the cave of noise itself. No doubt there are dens of hammering energy which are more shattering, but the noise of a windmill is largely natural, the product of wood striving with the good sou-wester; it fills the ears rather than assaults them. The effect, moreover, is by no means lessened by the absence of the wind itself and the silent nonchalance of the miller and his man, who move about in the midst of this appalling racket with the quiet efficiency of vergers.
In my mill, of course, there is no such uproar; nothing but the occasional shaking of the cross-pieces of the idle sails. Everything is still, and the pity of it is that everything is in almost perfect order for the days work. The mill one day some score years agotwas full of life; the next, and ever after, mute and lifeless, like a stream frozen in a night or the palace in Tennysons ballad of the Sleeping Beauty. There is no decayt merely inanition. One or two of the apple-wood cogs have been broken from the great wheel; a few floor planks have been rotted; but that is all. A weeks overhauling would put everything right. But it will never come, and the cheerful winds that once were to drive a thousand English mills so happily now bustle over the Channel in vain. 附上译文,大家看着方便
译文: 转动着的风车不仅看起来美丽,而且非常浪漫:一个受制于自然的魔力但情愿为人类服务的温顺家伙,一个飞舞旋转的怪物或者往往是一个使人惧怕的东西。如果谁在风力正强的时候靠近一座风车轰鸣的翅膀,心里都会骤然紧张起来 ——那感觉就像人们在暴风雨中望见水浪冲击堤岸的情景一样。而此时待在风车里边的话,就能对声音的来历有些体会,因为这里就是声音的洞穴。当然有些孔洞中所发出的轰鸣声震耳欲聋,具有很大的威力,但风车的声音则大体来说是比较自然的,它们是木头与西南风搏斗时产生的,它充盈于人耳而不会震耳欲聋。而且这种效果并不因为没有风或者磨坊主人及其佣人的淡漠而有所减弱,这些人即使是在震耳欲聋的喧闹之下,也总是一副文静态度,如同教堂管事人一般有条不紊地办事。
当然,我进入的磨坊并没有如此喧闹,我只是偶尔听到那些冷落的车翼上的横木几声摆动罢了,一切都是如此寂静。更使人惆怅的是,一切又仿佛已完全就绪,就等着当天开工了。这个风车以前——大约几十年前——也曾是生气勃勃的,但是从那以后,它就永归沉寂,毫无生气,就像一条溪流在夜里突然遭遇封冻,或者像丁尼逊《睡美人》诗中的宫殿那样寂寞。
