在监狱中西德尼即将换出达内尔时,他让达内尔写给露西“‘If you remenber…… the words that passed between us, long ago,you will readily comprehend this when you see it.You do remember them,I know.It is not in your nature to forget them.’”我看到这一段时,不禁热泪盈眶。这是一种多么深厚的爱情啊!西德尼相信,露西会记得他的告白,他们之间的约定。哪怕牺牲自己的生命,他也毫无怨言。
在故事的最后,西德尼步入刑场的时候,他平静的像什么都不会发生似的。他只是会到另一个世界去,而并不是死亡。他像是在讲述将来的故事。“‘I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. I see her, an old woman, weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. I see her and her husband, …… and I know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other’s soul, than I was in the souls of both.’”“‘I see that child who lay upon her bosom and who bore my name, a man winning his way up in that path of life which once was mine. ……I see him bringing a boy of my name, with a forehead that I know and golden hair, to this place--then fair to look upon, with not a trace of this day’s disfigurement--and I hear him tell the child my story, with a tender and a faltering voice.” 我可以感受到他那一种超脱世俗的最纯洁、最崇高的爱。爱一个人,爱到会以她的幸福为己任,爱到可以为她牺牲一切,甚至是自己最宝贵的生命。这种感情,还有谁会不为之动容呢?
全书的结尾也是我很喜欢的,是西德尼的最后一句话。“‘It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.’”他用他的生命换来了一个“大团圆”的结局,他将带着人们的怀念,获得永生。
很多时候,一个人都是要放弃很多东西的,因为必定有另外一样东西值得我们去放弃一些什么。比如,想要保护的人,想要完成的事情,等待实现的梦想。在《双城记》中,我能感受到西德尼·卡尔顿的爱情。那种超脱世俗的爱情,已经升华到一个新的境界。西德尼·卡尔顿相信,自己的离去可以让所有人都快乐的在一起。他在安静中听到幸福驶过的声音,有他的灵魂的陪伴,爱人永远都不会寒冷。他用他的一切向黑暗的世界挑战,他得到的是真正的光明,以及一种常人难以理解的为爱牺牲的甜蜜。
爱情过处,温暖如春。
