Philip Pullman给paradise lost写的intro和梗概永远让我先点头再摇头
之前他否定rhyming必要性的时候就是前面中肯后面激进
再读到他评价弥尔顿在BOOK II对语言的驾驭:sensuous power of the language
我:*点头*
Pullman:no one, not even Shakespeare, surpasses Milton in his command (...) of English words
我:哈哈神经病
“a bitchy flibbertigibbet” “a filthy flamingo” “a rippling sound like the opening of a zipper on the fly of God Almighty” wtf Vonnegut go be a stand-up comedian
我焯(不知如何用其他语言形容我的感想)
'The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.
'When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is "so it goes."'
