Common Senseby Thomas PaineINTRODUCTIONPerhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages,are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour;a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficialappearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcryin defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides.Time makes more converts than reason.As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means...

天者,夜昼;地者,衰荣;人者,灭生。公元一九八二年,京都正处在阵痛之中……火车甩下了广袤的华北平原,果断地驰上了永定河铁桥。芦沟桥在夏日黄昏中,背衬着黯然的灰蓝天空缓缓向后移动。古老的建筑身处现代,总默默透露着这种苍凉的孤寂感。一个个石栏柱上蹲伏的石狮镀着黄昏之光。一孔孔拱形石券洞下,古老的河床里,夏水苍苍莽莽,沙滩草色青青。离北京城还有十五公里。一种就要进入全国政治文化中心的兴奋照例像每次回北京一样又涌上来。他眯起眼凝视着车窗外已渐渐远去的芦沟桥,凝视着西北天际隐约浮现出的起伏山脉,眼前一片苍茫混沌。正是这崇山峻岭的太行山、燕山把北方的蒙古高原、松辽平原与华北大平原分割开了。三四千年前,或许更早吧,人们为着通商交往,从华北大平原沿着太行山东麓一线高地北上(他眼前隐约浮现着几千年前的跋涉:马队,马队,驮着货物的看不到头的马队……),在一个古渡口越过太行山上东流下...

给一个青年诗人的十封信1.译者序这十封信是莱内?马利亚?里尔克(Rainer Maria Rilke,1875—1926)在他三十岁左右时写给一个青年诗人的。里尔克除却他诗人的天职外,还是一个永不疲倦的书简家;他一生写过无数比这十封更亲切、更美的信。但是这十封信却浑然天成,无形中自有首尾;向着青年说得最多。里边他论到诗和艺术,论到两性的爱,严肃和冷嘲,悲哀和怀疑,论到生活和职业的艰难——这都是青年人心里时常起伏的问题。人们爱把青年比作春,这比喻是正确的。可是彼此的相似点与其说是青年人的晴朗有如春阳的明丽,倒不如从另出方面看,青年人的愁苦、青年人的生长,更像那在阴云暗淡的风里、雨里、寒里演变着的春。因为后者比前者更漫长、沉重而更有意义。我时常在任何一个青年的面前,便联想起荷兰画家凡诃(Van Gogh)的一幅题作《春》的画:那幅画背景是几所矮小、狭窄的房屋,中央立着一棵桃树或杏树,杈桠的枝干上寂寞地开...
