【Odes】

Ricardo Reis, Heteronym of Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935)

        Don't try to build in the space you suppose

        Is the future, Lydia, and don't promise yourself

        Tomorrow. Quit hoping and be who you are

        Today. You alone are your life.

        Don't plot your destiny, for you are not the future.

        Between the cup you empty and the same cup

        Refilled, who knows whether your fortune

        Won't interpose the abyss?

—— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • ——

【《頌歌》】

(葡萄牙)勇王·歷程——冒險者·佩索阿“法人”的異名

(1888生—1935卒)

【紅霞譯】

                不要在你想象的空間塑造

                未來，美人，別向自己承諾

                明天。放棄希望，做你本人

                今天的樣子。你只為自己而活。

                不要策劃命運，因為你不是未來。

                你傾空杯子並把它

                重又斟滿，天曉得你的財富

                不會跌入兩者之間的深淵？

【注】位於布拉加“馬褲”城東郊的山上仁慈耶穌聖殿(Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte in Braga)前後耗時600多年，主要採用巴洛克“不規則”風格，體現了歐洲創造聖山的傳統。仁慈耶穌建築群以山西坡的十字架苦路為中心，一系列小教堂里有描繪耶穌受難的雕塑，還有噴泉、寓言雕塑和整齊的花園，其至高點的仁慈耶穌教堂則建於1784年—1811年間，以牆壁、石階、噴泉、雕像和其它裝飾元素組成的五感階梯則被視為最具代表性的巴洛克作品。苦路是為了紀念耶穌在十字架上的受難和死亡，前後設有14個站點，每個站點都描繪了耶穌前往加略山“骷髏地”(Calvary)旅程中的一個瞬間，並透過神聖的藝術、祈禱和反思來呈現宗教信仰。

2019年被聯合國教科文組織列為《世界遺產名錄》。

In Guimarães, there were seven chapels dedicated to the Stations of the Passion of Christ, and only five remain at present. These sequentially represent the steps of Jesus from his condemnation to death, through the crucifixion, death on the cross, and deposition in the tomb. These chapels were built in 1727 and 1728 by the Brotherhood of Nossa Senhora da Consolação and Santos Passos. The set of chapels constituted a processional religious itinerary followed annually by believers at the time of Lazarus or Passion Sunday and the other Sundays of Lent.
