書與玫瑰,山與海

昨日,天下遠見的人文空間六週年,
以"書與玫瑰"的隱喻慶祝.....

來賓許多, 致辭溫馨詼諧....

殷正洋師兄的歌聲,
輕吟,蘇東坡"水調歌頭"的"但願人長久".....

纏綿,徐志摩"再別康橋"的"不帶走一片雲彩".....

昂揚於席慕容"出塞曲"的"遺忘了的古老言語"

今天,UNESCO(聯合國教科文組織)的「世界圖書與版權日」,

一個象徵對「書與作家」重視的日子,
一個「書與玫瑰」的日子。

這一天,是英國大文豪莎士比亞William Shakespeare)的生日(1564/4/23)也是忌日(1616/4/23)。

390年前(西元1616)的這一天,大文豪莎士比亞(英)、塞凡提斯(西)與Inca Garcilaso de la Vega(秘魯)一起向人間謝幕。

這天,還有另一個讓我們感動的傳說.....

西班牙的卡特隆尼雅(Catalonia)地區,
傳統上,在4月23日慶祝「聖。喬治日」;
聖喬治在西曆303年的4月23日殉教(那時的歐洲,羅馬皇帝是反基督教的);

後來傳說,變得神秘起來:
聖。喬治,在這天,除去了害人惡龍;
他以智慧,將龍的血,化為玫瑰,
獻給公主.....
自己也戰死.....

公主,以書相贈.....
象徵,「知識就是除惡的力量」。

在歐洲許多地方,4/23這天買書,會獲贈玫瑰一朵......
懷念著個美麗的故事。

聯合國教科文組織,在此日紀念與慶祝,
意義多重,
既是對書與作家的尊重,
也是期待,
書與玫瑰,取代槍與子彈....

我成長在嬉皮士文化與反越戰的時代,
那一張嘻皮士將花插進士兵槍管的照片,
從來沒有,
在我的夢中,被Delete.....

偶而,看見1960年代,
反越戰的歌手Joan Baez(瓊。拜茲),
還努力的在布希總統度假的大門口,
唱著反對伊拉克戰爭的歌....
我會有點傷感,
我們這一代,
除了經濟與科技,
和平呢?
玫瑰與花的夢....
哪天實現?

今天,我也在"心靈漫步",
發表了"左腦屬山?右腦屬海?".....
分享我性格的兩個面向。
也介紹了,日本浮世繪大畫家,葛飾北齋

  1. 美麗的傳說...

    「人文天井」既以04/22為啟用日
    何不在每年週年慶當週
    推廣購書贈玫瑰活動
    讓傳說衍成具體意義...廣為流傳

  3. 很喜歡今天的文字氛圍,因為諸多因素,已經許久不能讀書了。或者說,沒有遇見玫瑰已經很久了。很羨慕愛書和可以讀書的人們。
