最近两周看完了《3月的狮子》动画第一季。先记录几个印象深刻的片段。

知らずに済んだのにと

动画第五话末尾，对应原作第十章，在香子将零比作鸠占鹊巢的鸟之后：

看到这里的瞬间被一种强烈的 lyricism 打动。想到史蒂文斯的这几句：

And, in the isolation of the sky,
At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make
Ambiguous undulations as they sink,
Downward to darkness, on extended wings.

頼られた事

动画第16话，对应原作三卷第32章。当零在学校与将棋两边都遇到困难时，老师对他说的话：

嵐の中

动画第20话，对应原作四卷42章。在岛田与宗谷的七番棋结束后，回程的路上：

对我来说是第一季的最高峰。漫画原作无论是台词还是分镜节奏都极佳：横排与竖排文字在叙述、自问与认识之间跳跃，从岛田疲惫的侧脸，荒原直到最后一页炸开的闪电：最为 sublime 的时刻。

竖着的字：

是啊
从最开始就知道
在「暴风雨对面」的
只是更加剧烈的暴风雨而已

横着的字：

看着他疲惫不堪的侧脸
我想着他走来的道路

即使一次次倒下
也会将自身飞散的碎片
再次凑集

无论多少次
也会再次站起
前行之人的世界

没有终点的彷徨

「那么 为何？」
其回答绝不能向这侧脸找寻

这一答案
只能在暴风雨中问自己

也想到了 Moby Dick, Chapter 119: The Candles 中这一段：

Then turning- the last link held fast in his left hand, he put his foot upon the Parsee; and with fixed upward eve, and high-flung right arm, he stood erect before the lofty tri-pointed trinity of flames.

“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee. I own thy speechless, placeless power; but to the last gasp of my earthquake life will dispute unconditional, unintegral mastery in me. In the midst of the personified impersonal, a personality stands here. Though but a point at best; whenceso’er I came; whereso’er I go; yet while I earthly live, the queenly personality lives in me, and feels her royal rights. But war is pain, and hate is woe. Come in thy lowest form of love, and I will kneel and kiss thee; but at thy highest, come as mere supernal power; and though thou launchest navies of full-freighted worlds, there’s that in here that still remains indifferent. Oh, thou clear spirit, of thy fire thou madest me, and like a true child of fire, I breathe it back to thee.”
