【Love and the Gentle Heart】 Dante Alighieri (1265—1321) Love and the gentle heart are one thing, just as the poet says in his verse, each from the other one as well divorced as reason from the mind’s reasoning.
Nature craves love, and then creates love king, and makes the heart a palace where he’ll stay, perhaps a shorter or a longer day, breathing quietly, gently slumbering.
Then beauty in a virtuous woman’s face makes the eyes yearn, and strikes the heart, so that the eyes’ desire’s reborn again, and often, rooting there with longing, stays,
Till love, at last, out of its dreaming starts. Woman’s moved likewise by a virtuous man. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《爱情与高贵的心灵》】 但丁·阿利吉耶里“永恒·圣矛”(1265生—1321卒) 爱情与高贵的心灵互为形影, 他们彼此辉映,难舍难分, 好似理性始终伴随着灵魂, 诗人曾这样吟唱过。
本性为倾慕的热流充足, 它使心灵如华宫,爱情恰似主人, 爱情在心灵中安静地休息休息, 或短暂的睡眠,或安度深度的时辰。
娴静的少女仪态万千, 着迷住了青年才俊的眸子, 飘进他的心田,种下他的相思。 那相思在心中不停歇地跃动,
惊破沉沉的睡梦,唤醒爱情的精灵, 才形容年轻人,也这般把女子引动。
【注】从罗马向北驱车约100公里/62英里,蒙特菲亚斯科内“大酒瓶山”便雄踞在博尔塞纳“神奇”湖东南的山丘上。这座海拔约590米/1,935英尺的小镇,像镶嵌在火山凝灰岩上的宝石,俯瞰着脚下碧波万顷的湖面——其历史比罗马“力量”更久远,曾是伊特鲁里亚“土著”人的圣地,有学者认为这里就是传说中法努姆·图姆奈“至高神庙”(Fanum Voltumnae)的堡垒。罗马帝国灭亡后,它的战略位置成为兵家必争之地:卡西亚“肉桂”大道这条古罗马动脉从脚下穿过,教皇与主教们不断加固城防,乡村居民为躲避蛮族纷纷迁入,一座山城就这样在权力与恐惧的交织中生长起来。 中世纪是蒙特菲亚斯科内最辉煌的篇章。从1058年到15世纪末,30多位教皇、皇帝与杰出人物在此驻扎、召开议会或避暑消夏。13世纪下半叶,洪水摧毁了城墙与堡垒,但军事需求很快又催生了新的防御工事——几个世纪以来,这座城市在毁坏与重建中反复打磨。如今,修复一新的教皇之塔坐落在山丘之巅,俯瞰整个博尔塞纳湖,昔日的要塞变成了举办文化活动的优雅场所。 途径蒙特菲亚斯科内的石板路,我依然能感触到层层叠叠的时间——伊特鲁里亚的信仰、罗马的动脉、中世纪的城墙、教皇的要塞,都在这座小山城里沉默地共存。可让我真正动容的,不是这些宏大叙事,而是一扇旧木门旁随意靠着的自行车,是广场上老人晒太阳时眯起的眼睛,是教堂台阶上一只懒洋洋的猫。它们仿佛在告诉我:历史终究不是为了被瞻仰而存在的——权力和信仰来了又走,战争与和平循环往复,而真正留下来、懂得如何活下去的,是那些日复一日、平静度日的人。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
