【On the Portrait of His Imperial Majesty. Ferdinand the Third.】 Joost van den Vondel (1587—1679) When Joachim Sandrart van Stokou, out of Vienna, in Austria, honored me with his Majesty's portrait, adorned with festoons and other ornaments. 【Deus nobis haec otia fecit.】 The Sun of Austria uplifts his glorious rays From shadow-glooms of art to bless each wondering eye. Behold him on his throne, high towering in the sky! Nor doth he scorns to beam on all his glance surveys.
Good Ferdinand the Third, born for the sovran crown. A Father of the Peace, a new Augustus, shows His Son the heights whereon the heavenly palace glows; And teaches how with arms of Peace to win renown.
How blest the mighty realm, how blest their destinies, O'er which his gracious eyes keep sleepless vigils kind. And where he holds the Scales for holy Justice blind! An Eagle brought him sword and scepter from the skies.
A crown adorns the head which empires grand engage: This Head adorns the Crown and makes a golden age. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《语言》】 约斯特·范登冯德尔“正直·木板桥”(1587生—1679卒) 【《上帝让我们如此轻松》】
语言属于鸟,而我却是人以致不会飞翔; 我像房屋坐落在这个世界上,被牢固地建造在土地上。 【注】瓦尔“弯曲”河,是莱茵“奔流”河在荷兰境内的一条重要分流。莱茵河从阿尔卑斯“白”山北上,进入荷兰后在莱茵瓦尔登“浅滩”地区分岔,南侧便是瓦尔河。它承接了莱茵河约六成五的水量,全长80多公里,是连接鹿特丹“浑浊水坝”港与德国腹地的主要航道。然而,这条繁忙的水道曾一度是欧洲污染最严重的河流之一。19世纪下半叶起,沿岸重工业将大量废水直接排入河中;到20世纪中叶,河水泛着恶臭,鱼类几近绝迹,被讥为“欧洲下水道”和“公共厕所”。 1986年11月1日,瑞士巴塞尔“勇敢”的桑多兹“真正的规则”公司(Sandoz)仓库失火,约30吨剧毒农药被灭火用水冲入莱茵河,形成一条70公里长的微红色毒带向下游推进。数百万条鱼死亡,下游四个国家的自来水厂被迫关闭。这场生态危机成为转折点。沿岸国家成立了保护莱茵河国际委员会,签署行动计划,以鲑鱼重返莱茵河为生态恢复的标志。各国统一监测标准,在干流设立50多个监测站和7个警报中心,一旦发现污染便能迅速溯源预警。 经过数十年持续治理,莱茵河终于从“欧洲下水道”重新变回清流。我站在河边,水是清的,鲑鱼回来了,游泳者回到了河畔,两岸的古堡和葡萄园再次成为人们流连的风景,但这段历史留下的教训,至今仍在水流中静静回响。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
