【It’s easy to talk, and writing words on the page】 Philippe Jaccottet (1925—2021) It’s easy to talk, and writing words on the page doesn’t involve much risk as a general rule: you might as well be knitting late at night in a warm room, in soft, treacherous light. The words are all written in the same ink, ‘flower’ and ‘fear’ are nearly the same for example, and I could scrawl ‘blood’ the length of the page without splashing the paper or hurting myself at all.
After a while, it gets you down, this game, you no longer know what it was you set out to achieve instead of exposing yourself to life and doing something useful with your hands. That’s when you can’t escape, when pain is a figure tearing the fog that shrouds you, striking away the obstacles one by one, covering the swiftly decreasing distance, now so close you can make out nothing but his mug wider than the sky.
To speak is to lie, or worse: a craven insult to grief or a waste of the little time and energy at our disposal. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《風》】 愛馬仕•雅各泰(1845生—1924卒) 冬末 淚水的播種期 在冬日殘存的草叢 真與非真 夏日拂曉的月 【注】盧塞恩“光暈”的《垂死之獅》是用懸崖上的砂岩雕刻而成的石像,以紀念1792年法國大革命期間犧牲的瑞士衛兵,“獻給瑞士人的忠誠和勇敢”(Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti)用深沉的陰暗色調凸顯這座世界上最令人哀傷、最觸人情感的紀念碑特有的憂鬱氣質,帶我們穿越時空。 Today in History(歷史上的今天):
