【To Souls Flown Away (A des âmes envolées)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) These souls that you recall, My heart, don't come back. Why then do they persist, Alas! to stay there?
In the shining spheres, In the azure and the rays, Are they happier? What with us who loved them?
We had under the arbors A house near Saint-Leu. How beautiful the flowers were! How blue the sky was!
Among the fallen leaves, We ran to the ruddy woods; We were looking for beetles On the old walls in the sun;
We laughed this good laugh That Eden once heard, Always having to say What we had already said to each other;
I was telling stories about Mother Goose; We were happy, God knows! We uttered cries of joy For a passing bird. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《致飛走的魂靈》】 (法國)勝利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【紅霞譯】 你記起的這些魂靈， 親愛的，一去不回。 那為啥還要堅持， 唉！何不留在那裡？
如至明媚的天體， 沐浴蔚藍陽光， 他們更快活嗎？ 我們這些愛他們的人呢？
我們在涼亭下 靠近聖勒“勇敢聖地”的房子。 花太美！ 天真藍！
落葉之中， 我們跑向通紅的樹林； 一起找尋 陽光下古牆上的甲殼蟲；
我們開懷大笑 一如樂園曾經聽到的那樣， 我們免不了談論 彼此的陳年往事；
我講着鵝媽媽童謠； 溫馨可人，上帝知道！ 我們歡呼雀躍 一掠而過的飛鳥。 【注】聖愛美濃“熱切使徒”(Saint-Émilion )於葡萄酒愛好者來說可謂耳熟能詳，而我對它的了解自然也離不開遍及全球的混釀紅酒，巴掌大的地兒已有兩千年人類與葡萄藤的歷史： 最早可追溯到公元4世紀，這個土地肥沃的中世紀村莊由古羅馬人將葡萄栽培引入所屬的阿基坦“水陸”地區； 8世紀深得修道院的影響，並受益於地處“星野的後繼使徒”(Santiago de Compostela)朝聖路線上； 從11世紀起修建了不少教堂、修道院和臨終關懷院； 12世紀因金雀花王朝婚姻生變，阿基坦女公爵(Eleanor of Aquitaine)由法國王后搖身變為英國王后，加劇了地緣政治格局，預示着英國與法國主權之間長達數世紀拉鋸戰的開始，而在英國統治時期，被授予“司法管轄區”的特殊地位； 14—15世紀英法百年戰爭，飽受圍攻、戰爭和聯盟變動之苦； 16世紀釀酒業復興，重新致力於葡萄酒種植，萬能的葡萄讓其城鎮鄉村擁有了許多精美的歷史古蹟。
