0829 2013 四 颱風尾掠過? Franz Schubert - The Greatest Love & The Greatest Sorrow


約4點半起: 睡前重看某本1990年代的讀者文摘  介紹的女亞洲"企業家"---經20年的歷史考驗不知如何? 4:49 小雨....

恭喜東海大學在YouTube 已有101影音 ----野草的希望----
第一個人看: 夏日盛開的文學花 東海大學文學院童元方院長與Hit FM周玉蔻女士
這片子原是聲音為主現在改成影象.聲音效果很不理想.我希望101片之後開始重視點"品質".  譬如說每一片要有些說明或補充. 童院長是新人. 還滿口"博雅" ......
1160-1230 中午菜全處理完  嘉義台南高雄等等竟然豪雨成災
 

 近日有一篇墨西哥市數十年與空氣污染奮戰有成的報導.......
書面知識散放在各處.  昨天是我的墨西哥日. 還買本其藝術指引的書(A Guide to Mexican Art : From Its Beginnings to th...芝加哥大學出版社). 今天午後想再續昨天之緣份. 先拿取Oxford Companion to Art 墨西哥藝術只記Modern部份. 而且此條跟Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Art 的類似  ---因為編者同一人  此文一稿兩用......
反倒是我平常不怎麼參考的 大美百科  它有近40頁總體的墨西哥相關資訊的介紹



人的思緒多聯想。今天4點多即起。Facebook Yen女士指示BBC拍的高畫質「[HD] Franz Schubert - The Greatest Love & The Greatest Sorrow 」, 約6:15 看完它: 首尾都以貝多芬結束,臨終語: 「此非我病床也因為貝多芬不在此。」
我照例去《紐約時報》等逛逛,平常都用Firefox 瀏覽器,《紐約時報》還是上不去,不過我用它的鏡像網站做一些【英文人行道】的例子。後來我看到WSJ一篇文章,才了解如果我採用Google 公司的Chrome,因它可能很早就清理完昨天駭客弄亂的網址,所以上得去。果然如此。
我今年在二手書店買到一本Charles Baudelaire 的法英對照《惡之華》,我認為英文翻譯本很不錯,所以希望每天看一二首。今天讀他的《敵人》,他三十來歲在詩中就說已步入中年心智之秋,時間吸他之血而茁壯,最重要的是他希望自己是園丁,希望重拾工具,但願土能吸收神秘的氣而恢復生機…….。我突然想起我初一住宿在洪炎森老師他家,他有一大片的果園。於是取出45年前的《市三中第九屆畢業同學錄》,開始寫些對師長的回憶錄……







約6:15 看完: 首尾以貝多芬結束 臨終語此非我床因為貝多芬不在此.

Christopher Nupen's documentary uses Schubert's words and music to help us feel closer to what the composer himself was trying to say. The film begins with the funeral of Beethoven, at which Schubert was a torch bearer, and the story is told almost entirely in music that Schubert wrote between then and his death.

It includes quotations from his letters and diaries and the words that he chose to set in some of his songs. The title, The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow, is taken from a dream which Schubert wrote down on July 3rd 1822 and which is quoted in full in the film.

分享自我兒子 Pohan Wu 。這是一部紀錄片,BBC製作,描寫舒伯特的最大的愛與最大的悲傷。 舒伯特的一生極度貧困淒涼,但其掩不住的才華在本片中讓你深深感動、低迴不已。 因為片長, 朋友可分享再慢慢看。 BBC製作必屬佳作。

剛開始的舒伯特降E大調彌賽亞非常動人!敬請聆賞!



與游兄聊英國小說找出: Author John Fowles's Dorset house to become a centre for young writers

游常山

E. M. Foster乍看好讀,其實蠻「陳映真」的,對英國固化的階級,有很深的批判。我反覆讀了幾次【霍華大宅】(Howard’s End),還是進不去英國階級愛恨情仇的世界。

跨文化的閱讀,沒有那麼容易,讀懂英文字面,讀不懂背後一整套的社會文化架構的totality

E. M. Foster是英國當代最優秀的小說家,我要感謝英語世界的電影製片體制,從近三十年前的【印度之旅】【窗外有藍天】【此情可問天】(原著就是Howard’s End)…否則我們光是掌握長篇故事的「梗」就很大力氣

詮釋文本背後的社會真實?








這經驗很有意思.多少表示電影比較容易懂.通常是原著給讀者更多的想像空間.建議游兄試試" 法國中蔚的女人" 電影略去很多的"社會-文化"層面.......

  • 游常山 有,原著小說和電影,都看了,法國中尉,更艱澀的英文。
    Hanching Chung 哈哈 果真如此? 下會找到筆記本或可借你. 作者的房產很大--Jane Austen 的小說描述過的地方---身後願捐給University of East Anglia - UEA當"寫作中心--- 可憐的英國大學. 評估之後放棄.因為無力維持之. 我很關心後來如何了.......

    Author John Fowles's Dorset house to become a centre for young writers

    Landmark Trust sets to work on historic seaside building, home of the author of The French Lieutenant's Woman until his death
    Writer John Fowles

    In 1999, six years before he died, the novelist John Fowles wrote that despite its beauty, acres of garden, ravishing views and historic interest – not only as his home but that of the pioneering Georgian businesswoman, Eleanor Coade he – was failing to give away his beloved house in Lyme Regis, Dorset.
    He dreamed the Grade II* listed Belmont House could become a centre "for young writers and artists" who would be as inspired by its beauty and history as he. The main windows of the room where he wrote look straight out to sea, or steeply down to the Cobb where he sent his melancholy heroine, The French Lieutenant's Woman, on her solitary walks. His desk, possibly to give him some defence from the distractions of such a view, was set at right angles to it.
    He had lost count of the institutions he approached, he wrote sadly, including the University of East Anglia, famed for the creative writing course co-founded by his friend Malcolm Bradbury, of which he was an honorary graduate. None felt capable of taking it on.
    One American demanded assurance that the property could never suffer from landslip: since the house is perched halfway up a cliff on the Jurassic Coast, where for centuries fossil hunters have flocked to pry treasures from the rapidly eroding slopes, he could give no such promise.
    Now, though there are many more cracks in walls and terrace, and the garden is even more of a jungle than he affectionately complained of, his wishes may come true.
    The Landmark Trust, which restores historic buildings, has bought Belmont from Fowles's widow Sarah, and is fundraising to restore it not just as a holiday rental like its other properties, but a residential centre for young writers. This time the University of East Anglia, whose graduates include Anne Enright, Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan, has said yes.
    Discussions are also ongoing with Royal Holloway and other academic institutions.
    The move is an innovation for the Landmark, but one which its new director Anna Keay hopes to build on at other properties.
    "I love the thought of bringing that literary life back into the house, and making the whole place not just a nicely restored old building but a living memorial to Fowles and his work," she said.
    "The history of this house is already so rich and multilayered, it's nice to think of adding another chapter."
    Many of the trust's properties are eccentric, including a pineapple-shaped summer house, a palatial water tower and a pigsty designed as a Greek temple.
    The extraordinary facade of Belmont, a plain Georgian box bristling with applied decoration including sea monsters, urns and a head of Neptune, will fit perfectly into the portfolio.
    The house was a summer home and a sort of three dimensional trade card for the formidable Eleanor Coade, who manufactured classical figures, architectural ornaments and garden statues at Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory in Lambeth, out of an artificial stone which has proved astonishingly tough.
    The facade is sadly damp-stained and cracked, and inside ceilings, verandah and windows are propped to prevent collapse: the fierce little dolphins, made in the 1780s, are as crisp as if made yesterday.
    Fowles, who was for many years curator of the Lyme Regis museum, was fascinated by Coade – "that very rare thing, both an artist and a successful early woman industrialist".
    The trust has now won planning permission to demolish the shabby stumps of once ornate Victorian wings added by later owners, but will keep a charming observatory added in the 1880s by a Victorian GP, Richard Bangay.
    They plan to restore the surviving mechanism on which the entire roof once rotated and opened, and reinstate a telescope – and, they hope, some visiting astronomers too.
    Another rare survivor, a little stable building, will become an exhibition space telling the story of the house and its owners.
    When Keay first saw the building she felt she had been there before. "Everything about it, the views, the steep scramble down through the garden to the Cobb, even the fact that there really had been a telescope like the one the doctor in the French Lieutenant's Woman uses to spy on women on the beach, seemed so familiar it was almost eerie."
    In fact, although Fowles had obviously already paced every inch of the settings he used in the novel, he bought the house just after he finished the book which became even more famous as the 1981 Harold Pinter-scripted film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
    In his journal for September 7 1968 he recorded both the house and the telegrammed reaction of his publisher, Tom Maschler.
    "I have offered £18,000 for Belmont House. 'The French Lieutenant's Woman is magnificent, no less. Congratulations. Letter follows. Love Tom'. That's a relief."

     游兄過獎.我只讀很少的小說.因為地利之故.我去查John FOWLES 的日記( II) 該屋是2萬成交. "傳主"在隔周的日記中談2種人生財務策略  清教徒過份壓抑的儉對"存在"是傷害......他那幾年1968已經因小說賺進不少錢應該 (再多花5000修理新居---期待的新居......)
