秋,是文人的季節;也是風雨欲來的季節。懶洋洋的盛夏過後,便是灰暗嚴峻的冬天;而秋天,特別是仲秋,更是這兩極環境的轉捩點。中秋源於仲秋,月圓之夜帶有團圓之感,應該是一個開心的節日;可惜自古文人多以思鄉念故人的情懷,塑造一片思潮起伏、惆悵萬分的境界,令人也弄不清中秋究竟是喜是悲!

當然,以這特別的季節借題發揮也大有人在。明朝詩人李攀龍便以一首《懷明卿》之七絕來慨嘆明主難求: 「豫章西望彩雲間,九派長江九疊山。高卧不須窺石鏡,秋風憔悴侍臣顏。」但已故國家主席毛澤東卻把那最後一句改作「秋風怒在叛徒顏」以記林彪之背叛。可憐那秋風盡被人肆意借用,苦於無能自辯。其實秋風只是秋風,何必把人的煩惱冠在秋風頭上?

但在這滿懷惆悵的時刻確又很難不借題發揮。釣魚台把國家推至再與日本決戰的邊緣、泛民選舉失利,令落實雙普選之路前程暗淡、國民教育與東北發展令社會撕裂,香港早已超越不穩定的臨界點。這個中秋你能否摒棄國事、家事不理而盡一夜之歡?如果你能夠,我羨慕你的開懷豁達,視時勢如無物的能耐。

現代詩人長亭之《隨筆》開首有這兩句: 「秋情那堪數,看院前零落春風幾縷。」以此形容特區政局最貼切不過。民主黨新敗要韜光養晦,瑟縮一角;激進力量意氣風發,要更上一層樓;理性之聲,早已迷失了方向。落實真普選,遙不可及。議會內外,情何以堪?這個寒冬教人怎過?
