Obituary：辛波丝卡，生于波兰的小镇布宁的一个知识分子家庭里。当时，她的国家刚刚摆脱第一次世界大战的阴影。一九三一年全家迁往波兰南部的克拉科夫。在辛波丝卡的每一本诗集中，几乎都可以看到她追求新风格、尝试新技法的用心。 她擅长自日常生活汲取喜悦，以小隐喻开发深刻的思想，寓严肃于幽默、机智，是以 小搏大，举重若轻的语言大师。于1996年获得诺贝尔文学奖。2001年成为美国文学艺术学院名誉会员，这是美国授予杰出艺术家的最重要荣誉。2012年2月1日，在克拉科夫逝世，享年88岁。 Wislawa Szymborska 维斯瓦娃辛波丝卡 Wislawa Szymborska, poet, died on February 1st, aged 88. 诗人维斯瓦娃辛波丝卡于2月1日辞世，终年88岁。 WHEN Wislawa Szymborska won the worlds top literary prize in 1996, her friends called it the Nobel disaster. This was not just because she had spent an uncomfortable night before the award ceremony in the bath: the bathroom was the only part of her quarters in a grand Stockholm hotel in which she could manage to turn on the light. Nor was it the torture she felt in having to make a speech one of only three she had given in her life. The real disaster was the trauma of fame and fortune. It was years before she could publish another poem. Her fans delight in her Nobel prize was mixed with disappointment that it had rendered her mute. |
