【Song: III】

Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature 1911〗

            They killed three little mads

            To see what was in their hearts.

            The first was full of happiness,

            And where her blood appears

            Three serpents hiss three years.

            The second was full of tenderness,

            And where her blood appears

            Three lambkins graze three years.

            The third was full of wretchedness,

            And where her blood appears

            Three arch-angels watch three years.

【《歌谣：三》】

(比利时)深皮肤·梅特林克(1862生—1949卒)

〖1911年获诺贝尔文学奖〗

【红霞译】

                他们杀了三个小疯子

                想弄清所思所想。

                第一个满心欢喜，

                她的血溅到的地方

                有三条蛇嘶叫了三年。

                第二个满心柔情，

                她的血染过的地方

                有三只羊羔草食了三年。

                第三个满心悲哀，

                她的血流经的地方

                有三位大天使守望了三年。

【注】布鲁日“桥”城圣母教堂始建于13世纪，尽管拥有世界第二高砖砌塔楼(379英尺/116米)，但其旷世绝唱则应归功于米开朗基罗的加持，他那座1504年杰作、传说生前唯一离开意大利的白色大理石雕像《圣母子》让圣母教堂名扬天下。

我喜欢忏悔间两侧刻画《天主教法典》七大圣事的雕塑，洗礼、坚振、圣体、忏悔、病人傅油、圣秩和婚姻等七件作品注入了圣化的恩典。
