W.H.Auden:In Memory of W. B. Yeats In Memory of W. B. Yeats (d. Jan. 1939) I He disappeared in the dead of winter:18 The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted, And snow disfigured the public statues; The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day. What instruments we have agree The day of his death was a dark cold day. Far from his illness The wolves ran on through the evergreen forests, The peasant river was untempted by the fashionable quays; By mourning tongues The death of the poet was kept from his poems. But for him it was his last afternoon as himself, An afternoon of nurses and rumours; The provinces of his body revolted, The squares of his mind were empty, Silence invaded the suburbs, The current of his feeling failed; he became his admirers. Now he is scattered among a hundred cities And wholly given over to unfamiliar affections, To find his happiness in another kind of wood19 And be punished under a foreign code of conscience.20 The words of a dead man Are modified in the guts of the living. But in the importance and noise of tomorrow When the brokers are roaring like beasts on the floor of the Bourse,21 And the poor have the sufferings to which they are fairly accustomed, And each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom, A few thousand will think of this day As on thinks of a day when one did something slightly unusual. What instruments we have agree The day of his death was a dark cold day. II You were silly like us;22 you gift survived it all: The parish of rich women,23 physical decay, Yourself. Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry. Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still, For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth. III Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel lie Emptied of its poetry.24 In the nightmare of the dark All the dogs of Europe bark,25 And the living nations wait, Each sequestered in its hate; Intellectual disgrace Stares from every human face, And the seas of pity lie Locked and frozen in each eye. Follow, poet, follow right To the bottom of the night, With your unconstraining voice Still persuade us to rejoice; With the farming of a verse Make a vineyard of the curse, Sing of human unsuccess In a rapture of distress; In the deserts of the heart Let the healing fountain start, In the prison of his days Teach the free man how to praise. 1940 18. Yeats died on January 28, 1939, in Roquebrune in southern France. 19. An allusion to the beginning of the Inferno, where Dante himself, in middle life, "in a dark wood." Yeats, by dying, enters a realm of being where poets survive only in their poems. 20. A glance at Yates's Irish nationalism. The foreign code to which he must now submit is the judgment of the living. 21. Stock exchange (Fr). 22. In prose writings, Auden has registered various objections to Yates's thought, especially to his occultism. 23. Yeats as a young man accepted some financial help, later repaid, from Lady Gregory. He was friendly with other wealthy women later. 24. Following this line Auden originally included three stanzas in which Time, which is said to worship language and forgive "everyone by whom [language] lives," is expected to pardon "Kipling and his [imperialistic] views / And will pardon Paul Claudel 0a French writer of extreme political conservatism], / Pardon him [Yates, whose antidemocratic stance was antipathetic to Auden's own] for writing well." These stanzas were deleted in the 1966 edition of Collected Shorter Poems. 25. The Second World War was to begin in September 1939.
吧友们:轻松时间到,来看看高~`丽国最新YY成果:孙国父是高~丽人~ 根据韩国《朝鲜日报》的报道,韩国成均馆大学历史学系教授朴芬庆经过对孙氏家族族谱仔细发掘研究,包括对中国姓氏文化古籍的研究,已经发现中华民国的创始人、一直被认为是中国人的孙中山,实际上具备韩国血统。   高~`丽国成均馆大学历史学系教授朴芬庆表示,大约在公元前1000年左右,生活在朝~鲜最南端、今天的济州岛附近的古朝~鲜人,曾组成军队为周朝作战。其中一部分由于战功显赫,被周文王封于孙(今河南省宜阳县境)。其首领称为“孙伯”,即孙国首领之意。《通志·氏族略·以邑为氏》载:“孙氏,周文王所封,世为周卿,士食采于孙,子孙因以为氏。”《翠亨孙氏家谱》二修一卷载:“吾姓系出周孙伯之后,世为周卿,因国为氏。”由此证明,孙氏起源于韩国。    朴芬庆称,根据对广东孙氏家族聚居遗址的调查,可以认为,孙氏家族的生活带有明显的朝鲜色彩,不属于中国本土文化。在原始的孙氏家族古籍中,可以发现许多古朝鲜文字转化的外来字,充分说明孙中山具有韩国血统。      《朝~`鲜日报》记者正在对这一重大发现进行跟踪报道,预计今年年底将写成关于孙氏家族起源真相的系列书籍。关于孙中山祖先从高~丽国迁往中国的考古纪录片的拍摄也在计划之中。
