【The Argument】 Joost van den Vondel (1587—1679) Lucifer, the Archangel, chief and most illustrious of all the Angels, proud and ambitious, out of blind self-love envied God and His boundless greatness; he also became jealous of man, made in God's image, to whom, in his delightful Paradise, was entrusted the sovereignty of the earth. He envied God and man the more when Gabriel, God's Herald, proclaiming all Angels to be but ministering Spirits, revealed the mysteries of God's future incarnation, whereby, the Angels being passed by, the fundamental nature of man, united with the Godhead, might expect power and majesty equal to God's own. Wherefore, the proud and envious Spirit, attempting to place himself on an equality with God, and to keep the man out of Heaven, through his accomplices, incited to arms innumerable Angels, and led them, notwithstanding Rafael's warning, against Michael. Heaven's Field-marshal, and his legions; and ceasing the fight, after his defeat, he caused, out of revenge, the first man, and in him all his descendants, to fall, while he, with all his co-rebels, was plunged into hell and eternal damnation. The scene is in the Heavens. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《一小时的生存》】 约斯特·范登冯德尔“正直·木板桥”(1587生—1679卒) 我只知道，人必须用脚走路； 外面是鞋，里面是血。 它们支撑着，飞不起来的身体。 关于词—— 声音的身体，词的活尸。 词汇在第二天早晨，至少散发出口臭。 【注】多德雷赫特“通道”是南荷兰省最古老的城市，被昵称为“羊头城”。这个外号怎么来的，没人说得清。有人说是因为中世纪时多德雷赫特的商人戴羊毛帽子，有人说是城里卖羊头汤的太多。多德雷赫特人不介意被叫羊头，他们说，羊头怎么了，羊头也是头。 多德雷赫特建在三条河的交汇处——默兹“蜿蜒”河、瓦尔“弯曲”河、莱茵“奔流”河都从这里经过。河很宽，水很急，船很多。中世纪时，多德雷赫特是荷兰最重要的贸易城市。英国的羊毛在这里上岸，德国的木材在这里交易，法国的葡萄酒在这里装桶。城里住着荷兰最富的商人，城外泊着来自各国的商船。15世纪，多德雷赫特成了荷兰最早有城墙的城市。城墙是砖砌的，很厚，很高，城门有六座。如今城墙早拆了，城门还在，叫“老港门”，是荷兰最老的城门。 18世纪，鹿特丹“浑浊水坝”挖了新水道，大船可以直接从北海进港，多德雷赫特的生意被抢了。船还是从三条河来，但不停多德雷赫特了，直接去鹿特丹。多德雷赫特还在，但不再是荷兰的贸易中心，成了一座普通的小城。 多德雷赫特的浪漫，不是教堂，不是城墙，是羊头。城里有一条街叫“羊头巷”，巷子很窄，只容一人过，两边是石头房子，房子上有羊头的浮雕。巷子尽头是羊头市场，中世纪时卖羊的地方。如今市场不卖羊了，卖奶酪、木鞋、郁金香球茎。游客在这里买纪念品，听导游讲羊头的故事。导游说，羊头是骄傲的意思，羊头是倔强的意思，羊头是不服输的意思。多德雷赫特人听了，笑一笑，不说什么。 多德雷赫特的羊头，是荷兰最老的羊头。18世纪起，经济地位被鹿特丹取代，但羊头还在。鹿特丹是荷兰最大的港口，多德雷赫特是荷兰最老的羊头城。鹿特丹的船更多，多德雷赫特的羊头更老。船会旧，羊头不会。羊头还是羊头。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
