繁体
作者 : 刘易斯·托马斯
小小的水母美丢莎寄生在那不勒斯湾的一种海生活蛞蝓的体表上，两种生物互相依存。在生活的不同阶段，两者交换着捕食者和猎物的位置。 这是怎样纠缠不清的自我！“想想这些活物，让我起一种怪异的感觉。它们没有使我想起任何曾经见过的事。真的没有。这样的生活轮回，我从没听说过。这些东西是稀奇古怪的。没错儿，就是奇特。而与此同时，如同一个朦胧记得的梦，它们让我一下子想起了整个地球。”读过并仰慕刘易斯·托马斯《细胞生命的礼赞》的人们，不由得会牵挂那咱水母和蜗牛的命运。托马斯就是有这种魅力，能通过这种不可思议，然而又富有洞见的观察，来说明生和死这些永恒的课题。本书包含一些辉煌的新宝藏：论人类犯错误的天才；论疾病与自然的死亡，包括一只老鼠的平静死亡；论无性造人；论疣子；论蒙田，用Edward O. Wilson的话说，假如蒙田拥有20世纪生物学的深刻知识，他就会是今天的刘易斯·托马斯。

因为叶梅终于让我想起喜欢一个人的感觉。寂寞确定跟孤单不一样，孤单只表示身边没有别人。但寂寞是一种，你无法将感觉跟别人沟通或分离的心理状态。而真正的寂寞应该是连自己都忘了喜欢一个人的感觉。

作者 : 曼努埃尔·普伊格
《蜘蛛女之吻》是普伊格的第四部小说,这无疑是他的小说中影响最大的一部。在1976年发表后,几次再版,被译成多种文字,并改编成电影。 在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯监狱的一间牢房里关押着两个囚犯,一个是政治犯瓦伦丁,另一个是同性恋者莫利纳。小说以他们两个人的对话为主线索,逐步展现出他们的内心世界,拨动了埋藏在他们意识深处的心弦,从一个侧面剖露了阿根廷社会的现实。作者以主人公叙述电影故事的方法,一方面揭示了力图改变社会的革命者的复杂的内心世界,另一方面又从社会、心理和生理诸方面多层次地剖析了同性恋这个日益引起人们重视的社会问题。 对于同性恋的产生与存在,作者以严肃的态度进行了具体的分析。他采用新颖的表现手法,颇具匠心地将许多艺术技巧巧妙地糅合在一起,精心构筑了小说的结构,一部部异彩纷呈的电影故事,与小说正文相互呼应的理论柱石,穿插在对话当中的意识流,还有简洁明快的行书公文,让人读起来兴味盎然,余丝不断,真可谓集严肃文学与通俗小说于一身,既有引人入胜的故事情节,又有对社会学和性心理学等问题的深刻探求,还有耐人琢磨的文学魅力。这种将文学性、趣味性、社会性、科学性融合在一起的特点是这部小说取得成功的主要原因。 这部小说中运用得最为突出的手法就是在两个人的对话中叙述电影故事。深谙电影艺术的普伊格巧妙地将六部电影的情节贯穿于整部小说的始末。这些电影故事的构思巧妙,安排得当。每部电影虽然都独立成篇,却有着共同的深邃的内涵,即从不同的角度隐喻同性恋的不同的表现方式及其心理特征。作者采用蒙太奇的手法,将电影与电影,电影与两个囚犯的现实生活剪切对比、明叙暗喻,像多棱镜一般折射出一幅幅既有情趣又耐人思索的画面。

Selected Poems of W. B. Yeats
阅读本书
作者 : 叶芝
W.B. Yeats is generally considered to be one of the twentieth century's key English-language poets. He can be considered a Symbolist poet in that he used allusive imagery and symbolic structures throughout his career. Yeats chooses words and puts them together so that in addition to a particular meaning they suggest other meanings that seem more significant. His use of symbols is usually something physical which is used both to be itself and to suggest other, perhaps immaterial, timeless qualities. Yet, unlike most modernists who experimented with free verse, Yeats was also a master of the traditional verse forms. The impact of modernism on his work can be seen in the increasing abandonment of the more conventionally poetic diction of his early work in favor of the more austere language and more direct approach to his themes that increasingly characterises the poetry and plays of his middle period, comprising the volumes In the Seven Woods, Responsibilities and The Green Helmet. His later poetry and plays are written in a more personal vein, and the works written in the last twenty years of his life include mention of his son and daughter, as well as meditations on the experience of growing old. In his poem, The Circus Animals' Desertion, he describes the inspiration for these late works:Now that my ladder's goneI must lie down where all the ladders startIn the foul rag and bone shop of the heart

Inspired by Irish folklore, first published in 1892, first performed in 1899.The sorrowful are dumb for thee--Lament of Morion Shehone for Miss Mary BourkeOriginally published in 1892, The Countess Cathleen aroused fierce controversy when it was first performed in 1899. The play was frequently revived and almost as often revised, becoming at various points in Yeats’s career a decisive indicator of his relations with his literary and theatrical public, of his changing conception of dramatic form, and of the status of his pursuit of Maud Gonne, for whom the play was written. This volume in the Cornell Yeats reproduces the complete set of extant manuscripts preceding the play’s first publication and reassembles the extensive manuscript, proof, and authorial copy to present a crucial body of evidence of Yeats’s work and thought in drama and theater over the course of three decades.

Offers a glimpse of all Yeats' styles--beginning with his youthful romantic idealism and ending with his more outspoken, sardonic treatment of sexuality.CONTENTS:TO THE SECRET ROSE THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE OUTCAST OUT OF THE ROSE THE WISDOM OF THE KING THE HEART OF THE SPRING THE CURSE OF THE FIRES AND OF THE SHADOWS THE OLD MEN OF THE TWILIGHT WHERE THERE IS NOTHING, THERE IS GOD OF COSTELLO THE PROUD, OF OONA THE DAUGHTER OF DERMOTT, AND OF THE BITTER TONGUE.FAR-OFF, most secret, and inviolate Rose,Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those Who sought thee in the Holy Sepulchre, Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir And tumult of defeated dreams; and deep Among pale eyelids, heavy with the sleep Men have named beauty. Thy great leaves enfold The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes Saw the pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise In Druid vapour and make the torches dim; Till vain frenzy awoke and he died; and him Who met Fand walking among flaming dew By a grey shore where the wind never blew, And lost the world and Emer for a kiss; And him who drove the gods out of their liss, And till a hundred moms had flowered red Feasted, and wept the barrows of his dead; And the proud dreaming king who flung the crown And sorrow away, and calling bard and clown Dwelt among wine-stained wanderers in deep woods: And him who sold tillage, and house, and goods, And sought through lands and islands numberless years, Until he found, with laughter and with tears, A woman of so shining loveliness That men threshed corn at midnight by a tress, A little stolen tress. I, too, await The hour of thy great wind of love and hate. When shall the stars be blown about the sky, Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die? Surely thine hour has come, thy great wind blows, Far-off, most secret, and inviolate Rose?

WITH A NOTE CONCERNING A WALK THROUGH CONNEMARA WITH HIMBY JACK BUTLER YEATS

作者 : 叶芝
Hanrahan, that was never long in one place, was back again among the villages that are at the foot of Slieve Echtge, Illeton and Scalp and Ballylee, stopping sometimes in one house and sometimes in another, and finding a welcome in every place for the sake of the old times and of his poetry and his learning. There was some silver and some copper money in the little leather bag under his coat, but it was seldom he needed to take anything from it, for it was little he used, and there was not one of the people that would have taken payment from him. His hand had grown heavy on the blackthorn he leaned on, and his cheeks were hollow and worn, but so far as food went, potatoes and milk and a bit of oaten cake, he had what he wanted of it; and it is not on the edge of so wild and boggy a place as Echtge a mug of spirits would be wanting, with the taste of the turf smoke on it. He would wander about the big wood at Kinadife, or he would sit through many hours of the day among the rushes about Lake Belshragh, listening to the streams from the hills, or watching the shadows in the brown bog pools; sitting so quiet as not to startle the deer that came down from the heather to the grass and the tilled fields at the fall of night. . . .
