《路邊的歷史 》一書 , 作者孫嘉瑞先生 , 筆名南太或南太
井蛙 , 以 “井底之蛙 , 所見不大 , 螢火之光 , 其亮不遠 “,
並引古希臘哲人所言 : “事實真象藏在井底 “ 以自勵 , 故名井
蛙 , 或能更接近真理云云………。
余思之 , 重思之 , 其所言庶幾乎熊壇石八陣圖詩所詠 : “ 黄
帝遺經存井底 , 武候留跡在江沙 “ , 俱有深意在焉 。
爰賦截句三章 , 聊誌今夕讀書之趣 , 以供他日回味云爾 :
南太芳菲
去國懷鄉三十載 , 奇聞異事網羅求 ;
{ 路邊歷史 }連城價 , 南太芳菲記舊遊 。
螢火之光
清 輝 輸 蠟 燭 , 露 冷 溼 還 明 ,
誰 謂 螢 光 小 ?心 燃 照 夜情 !
(三) 南太井蛙
性靈風趣溢毫端 , 世相人生儘大觀 。
南太井蛙非小可 , 振聾醒夢眾心安 !
Three poems on * The Road Side Tales *
( 1 )
The Customs and Traditions of the South
Pacific Region
It has been 30 years
since he left his country and still he is longing
for where his native land lies .
He has collected all sorts of strange tales and bizarre events as he deems
fit.
“ The Road Side Tales “ is a book of invaluable price ,
As it has recorded the various customs and traditions of the South Pacific
Region during his former visits .
( 2 )The Light of a Firefly
The light emitted by a firefly is less bright than that of a candle .
But it could withstand the cold and wet and yet brighter than ever .
Who say the light of a firefly is small and weak ?
It is from the heart that brighten the darkness of the night with
a great favor !
( 3 ) The Well Frog of the South Pacific Region
Through his pen he writes with temperament and light spirit of wittiness .
The different features of the world and human life are all together in
readiness .
“ The Well Frog of the South Pacific
Region” is by no means a small
achiever ,
His works have awakened the deaf and
people in their dreams for
happiness !
