精彩摘录
  • "He didn't let me say a word. I have to take the word from him. He gave me a long life but a small one. I need room, I need air. My soul reaches out into the old forests of my Italy, up to the sunlit hills, up to the winds of the swan and the truth-speaking crow. My mother was mad, but I was not. My "
  • "I do not know if the pitch scattered, or a wind blew in, or a hand moved, but I suddenly saw a strangeness all around me, a flickering movement of brightness… I put up my hands to my head and felt a queer soft movement in the air about it. Sparks danced and leapt around me, and I smelled smoke… Flam"
  • "MY JUDGMENT OF TURNUS IS THAT HE COULD NOT LOOK farther than the moment. His response to emergency was instant, active, complete; where he failed and wavered was in following through, holding to a purpose. That of course is where Aeneas excelled. In emergency, at the moment of choice, Aeneas might h"
  • "AS A WIFE, I NEVER FELT THAT GRIEVING ANGER THAT I USED TO feel and once spoke out to my poet in Albunea, asking why must a girl be brought up at home to live as a woman in exile… But in giving up my girl self and taking on the obligations of womanhood I found myself freer than I had ever been."
  • "Go on, go. In our tongue it is a single sound, It is the last word Aeneas said. So in my mind it is spoken to me, said to me. I am the one to go, to go on. Go where? I do not know. I hear him say it, and I go. On, away. On the way. The way to go. When I stop I hear him say it, his voice, Go on."
  • "I had lived with Aeneas death a long time, from the time I first saw his face, high on the ship's prow, dark in the twilight of morning, gazing up the river in prayer and eager hope."
用户评论
Lavinia有一段正好和全书吻合——如何在既定的框架下去写一个故事，如同在无法更改的命运（甚至是已知的命运）下寻找自我的可能——答案就像水一样随着故事流到跟前：跟随它，就会自由。无论是作者还是女主角，She made it. 结尾特别好，骤然飞入高空。
4.5星。「埃涅阿斯纪」的现代重写。我曾经觉得Le Guin的world building能力相交于她的叙事更好，但从这篇看来并非如此。
太美好了，这把年纪的勒古恩奶奶反而返璞归真，诗意活泼的语言简直把故事升华成了一首长诗
就是本同人嘛……
There was only one thing to do, and it was what I had done already — run. Run and hide.
本以为会是一本艰深隔阂的大书，但没想到UKL能把一个古代世界的故事写得好看而又relevant（而且其实很短！
