课题验收完毕，一场短促而忙碌的闹剧散场。
这些天，水仙静静生长，还算顺利，虽然刻得没有任何造型可言，但庆幸叶子没有疯长，现在每天等待开花中。
水仙的故事，google时发现，原来有这么多。
希腊神话故事：
Narcissus是个美少年，森林中的女神们都深深地爱慕着他，其中Echo对他最为痴情，但Echo曾得罪天后Hera，并受其惩罚——只能重复别人说的最后一句话，所以她不知道怎样和Narcissus认识并聊天。一次Narcissus在湖边喝水，他看到了水里有一个美少年——那是他自己的倒影。他看得出神，不禁问道：“你长得真美，你是谁啊？”此时，守在他身边的Echo抓到机会重复他的话：“你是谁啊？”他说：“我是Narcissus，我想认识你。”Echo也说：“我想认识你。”Narcissus对自己的倒影微笑、招手，水中的影子也微笑、招手。从此，他便爱上了自己的倒影，日复一日，他再也不离开湖边。终于死神接走了他，Echo伤心欲绝，可她找不到Narcissus的遗体，却发现湖边长出一朵小白花，那花向湖面低垂着头，像是在凝望自己的倒影。而这花，就被人称为水仙。从此，水仙日夜对着倒影思念，Eacho也舍不得离开，日夜守在他身边……
英文里Narcissus正是水仙花，narcissist则是自恋者。
搜索到的英文故事，Narcissus在河边的情景描述得详细，读来倒让人真有一种怜悯。。。
There was a clear fountain, with water like silver, to which the shepherds never drove their flocks, nor the mountain goats resorted, nor any of the beasts of the forest; neither was it defaced with fallen leaves or branches; but the grass grew fresh around it, and the rocks sheltered it from the sun. Hither came one day the youth, fatigued with hunting, heated and thirsty. He stooped down to drink, and saw his own image in the water; he thought it was some beautiful water-spirit living in the fountain. He stood gazing with admiration at those bright eyes, those locks curled like the locks of Dionysos or Apollo, the rounded cheeks, the ivory neck, the parted lips, and the glow of health and exercise over all. He fell in love with himself. He brought his lips near to take a kiss; he plunged his arms in to embrace the beloved object. It fled at the touch, but returned again after a moment and renewed the fascination. He could not tear himself away; he lost all thought of food or rest, while he hovered over the brink of the fountain gazing upon his own image. He talked with the supposed spirit: "Why, beautiful being, do you shun me? Surely my face is not one to repel you. The nymphs love me, and you yourself look not indifferent upon me. When I stretch forth my arms you do the same; and you smile upon me and answer my beckonings with the like." His tears fell into the water and disturbed the image. As he saw it depart, he exclaimed, "Stay, I entreat you! Let me at least gaze upon you, if I may not touch you."
With this, and much more of the same kind, he cherished the flame that consumed him, so that by degrees he lost his color, his vigor, and the beauty which formerly had so charmed the nymph Echo. She kept near him, however, and when he exclaimed, "Alas! Alas!" she answered him with the same words. He pined away and died; and when his shade passed the Stygian river, it leaned over the boat to catch a look of itself in the waters. The nymphs mourned for him, especially the water-nymphs; and when they smote their breasts Echo smote hers also. They prepared a funeral pile and would have burned the body, but it was nowhere to be found; but in its place a flower, purple within and surrounded with white leaves, which bears the name and preserves the memory of Narcissus.
中国的传说：
传说崇明水仙来自福建。那是唐代则天女皇要百花同时开放于她的御花园，天上司花神不敢违旨，福建的水仙花六姐妹当然也不例外，被迫西上长安。小妹妹不愿独为女皇一人开花，只行经长江口，见江心有块净土，就悄悄溜下在崇明岛。所以，福建水仙五朵花一株开，崇明水仙一朵怒放。
在花卉市场买到的最普遍的水仙球都是一个花苞五箭花，崇明水仙，一个花苞一朵，不知打开后是什么样子？
有些诗歌：
王充道送水仙花五十枝 欣然为之作咏
黄庭坚
凌波仙子生尘袜，水上轻盈步微月。
是谁招此断肠魂，种作寒花寄愁绝。
含香体素欲倾城，山礬是弟梅是兄。
坐对真成被花恼，出门一笑大江横。
这首诗最后一句的转折是被人称道的关键，我也喜欢。不过除了这层，它于我尚有他意。。。。

春节快乐！
