【Of Beauty and Duty】 Dante Alighieri (1265—1321) TWO ladies to the summit of my mind Have clomb, to hold an argument of love. The one has wisdom with her from above, For every noblest virtue well designed: The other, beauty's tempting to power refined And the high charm of perfect grace approve: And I, as my sweet Master's will doth move, At the feet of both their favors am reclined. Beauty and Duty in my soul keep strife, At question if the heart such course can take And 'twixt the two ladies hold its love complete. The fount of gentle speech yields answer meet, That Beauty may be loved for gladness sake, And Duty in the lofty ends of life —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《愛神久久抱住我不放》】 但丁•聖矛(1265生—1321卒) 愛神久久抱住我不放, 使我習慣與他的統治, 他的威力以前令我震懾, 如今溫柔地占有我的心房。
可是當我失去一切力量, 所有的精力似隨之而逝, 這時我脆弱的心甜蜜無比, 因而臉色也大大地變樣。
後來我屈服於愛神的權威, 它使我動心而口吐肺腑之言, 既然出口,就要求女郎垂憐, 希望她賜給我更多的恩惠。 她無論何處見到我,我都痛心, 溫順的程度令人難以置信。 【注】博爾塞納“神奇”因1263年在聖克里斯蒂娜“受膏者”大教堂(Basilica of Santa Cristina)發生的奇蹟而聞名,當時一位對變體論教義產生懷疑的波希米亞牧師說在彌撒中祝聖的聖體出現了出血現象,這個中世紀小鎮因此被譽為“聖體奇蹟之城”;另外,博爾塞納湖是歐洲最大的火山湖,湖中有兩座島嶼之一比森蒂納(Bisentina)小島上有眾多修道院,幾個世紀以來,曾作為多位教皇的夏宮。 Today in History(歷史上的今天):
