2024-06-21 National Smoothie Day

【My arm clasped your fragile waist (Mon bras pressait ta taille frêle)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) My arm clasped your fragile waist that's supple as a reed; Your breast beat like the wing Of a young bird!
In a long silence we contemplated The sky where the day was fading away. What was happening in our souls? Love! Love!
Like an angel who reveals herself, You looked at me, in my night, With your beautiful star's gaze, Blinding me with light. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《我伸手摟住你纖細的腰肢)》】 (法國)勝利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【紅霞譯】 我伸手摟住你纖細的腰肢 就像蘆葦那麼柔韌; 你胸脯的跳動 一如雛鳥的翅膀!
我們悄然久視 夜幕降臨的天空。 沁入心靈深處? 愛情!愛情!
就像天使顯靈, 你在夜晚看着我, 那美麗的星眸, 讓我目眩神迷。
【注】勒阿弗爾“海港”城是印象派祖師意志堅強·莫奈“錢幣”(Claude Monet)的家鄉,二戰結束時納粹摧毀了其港口基礎設施,而盟軍為了徹底擊敗德軍,乾脆將商業區與工業區所在的市中心夷為廢墟。 自2005年起海港城就被列入聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》,是一封獻給現代主義的情書,比法國任何其它城市更能喚起戰後涅磐重生的活力與樂觀。的確,純粹的空間感勾魂奪魄:紀念碑式極具說服力的自信,而舊城中少數倖存的遺蹟也被巧妙地融入了漂亮的混凝土建築物。雖然不計其數的單調民宅可能令人沮喪,但即使那些不同意法籍比利時建築師偉大·佩雷“磐石”(Auguste Perret)“創新地發掘混凝土潛力”的遊客照樣可以在他打造的水泥城市裡享受漫步的快樂。 今天是我第二次來海港城,說來奇怪,順道最想見識的竟然莫過於巴西著名建築師神矛•尼邁爾“管家”(Oscar Niemeyer,1907—2012)生前打造的另一部巨作。2013年我曾去過巴西首都巴西利亞“紅木炭火之地”,對他那超越時空的想象力早有領教。
