What a wonderful collection of stories’ Lauren GroffAnother day! And then another and another and another. It seemed as if it would all go on forever in that exquisitely boring and beautiful way. But of course it wouldn’t; everyone knows that.In this collection, Hilma Wolitzer invites us inside the private world of domestic bliss, seen mostly through the lens of Paulie and Howard’s gloriously ordinary marriage. From hasty weddings to meddlesome neighbours, ex-wives who just won’t leave, to sleepless nights spent worrying about unanswered chainmail, Wolitzer captu
「濟慈的夜鶯歌會永遠在人們的記憶裡存著」 余光中、徐志摩也讚賞不已 世界浪漫主義詩歌代表作 中英朗讀雙語詩選 Ｘ 紀念藏書票 “That I can never tell what mood is best. I shall as soon pronounce which grace more neatly Trips it before Apollo than the rest.” 「我永遠說不出你哪種情致最好： 就想很難說哪位優雅女神 在阿波羅面前舞得最美。」 《夜鶯頌》、《伊薩貝拉》、《秋頌》等著名長詩，都是濟慈於1819 年所創作的作品。在胞弟逝世、身陷經濟壓力、愛而不得的痛苦下，濟慈將一切傾注於詩歌。 在弟弟離開人世、自己也身患重病，與心愛女子也無法長廂廝守，受困在現實所帶來的囹圄中，夜鶯即代表了詩人所渴望的自由與一切美好，他渴望如夜鶯一般，純潔、美麗，在空中自在遨翔。 “Beauty is truth, truth beauty” 詩歌鮮明如圖畫、又如飄揚樂聲，「美即是真，真即是美」，濟慈的詩完美地體現了西方浪漫主義的特點，以古文明為背景，寫象徵和神話，強調想像與自然，表現出理想和希望，抒發個人的主觀感受和情緒，卻在浪漫主義之下又同時兼具現實主義，既藝術地描寫美好的理想生活，又真實地再現當時的社會生活。也因為如此，他留下來的詩篇才能帶給我們無限的精神享受。 “But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee, Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind, Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d, Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be Almost the highest bliss of human-kind, When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.” 「儘管我願意和你觀賞這些景物， 但我更樂於和純潔的心靈親切交談； 傾聽精妙思想中的意象及語言， 這是我心靈的快樂；我相信 這必定是人類最高的樂趣， 兩個投緣者的共棲之地。」
