一 林徽因无意就成了聪慧的女子,天才的女子,她似乎什么都提得起来,放得下,包括爱情 在康桥柔波里荡漾了一阵爱的感觉,还是果断地离开了康桥,来到了清华园 清华园里 男读女织 我这个外人倒是愿意理解为,林徽因享受了爱情,但是选择了婚姻。就如我假设自己为女子而选老公和选男朋友完全用了不同思路一样。 只是,我不是她,怎能确知她的心意。 二 一次看《读者》中间的漫画,有男追女和女追男,各有说法。 “女对男”,到手之后,最后一个愿望让我骇然,那就是女人要求男人:在我厌倦你时要及时死去。 这个很厉害的,一般男人厌倦女人会要求女人离开,或者自己离开,而女人要求男人则是彻底离开。不光离开自己,还要离开所有人。 但是,林徽因却自己率先离开了 才女人生,以一个半场的休止符结束 真的是半场吗 也许,林徽因知道自己离开的确切恰当时候,在自己的灵魂还没有机会被污浊沾染,在还可以决定自己的心灵时,离开吧,以防必然地与一个马上就要变得次一等的世界相遇 三 对于一个男人,你允许一个心目中女神一般的女人一生有多少男人仰慕? 是你把她刻成石像,还是让全世界都看到她? 那要看你的心胸和情怀 据说林的裙裾到了任何一个地方都能掀起一阵涟漪 是心灵的颤动 但是,颤动也就罢了 有人能够把颤动变成永恒的悸动 就以每日里平静的注视,看她在眼睛里出现又消失,消失后又再度出现 就足够了 还不足够吗? 四 一个美丽的女人如果没有有形的东西留下 那就只能留下传说 但是,传说是会消灭的,如一阵熏香的春风 影星们纷纷在那块方寸的荧屏上放下身段 把搔首弄姿和顾盼生辉混杂在一起 林徽因放下的是智慧,留下的没有倩影,但是可以更加永恒 那是她一个人的创造 而没有她,创造物必将减色 五 对于梁思成 抱得美人归 又要如何呢 最是那一去的时刻 如明眸里善睐的珠光 此心,已安静如水 也一样地够了 当也厌倦了,就去香山脚下陪伴香冢 墓外青草萋萋 会想起徐志摩翻译的那首诗么? 《歌》 当我死去的时候,亲爱的 别为我唱悲伤的歌 我坟上不必安插蔷薇 也无需浓荫的柏树 让盖着我的青青的草 淋着雨也沾着露珠 假如你愿意 请记着我 要是你甘心 忘了我 我再见不到地面的青荫 觉不到雨露的甜蜜 我再听不到夜莺的歌喉 在黑夜里倾吐悲啼 在悠久的坟墓中迷惘 阳光不升起 也不消翳 我也许 也许我还记得你 我也许 我也许忘记 Song 1830 - 1894 Christina Georgina Rossetti When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain: And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply may forget. 这歌是罗大佑谱曲的处女作 http://hi.baidu.com /stefaye/blog/item/516529f523e9e936bc310913.html
梁思成和林徽因在美国学习建筑学的老师Paul Philippe Cret 1923年,林徽因(1901--1955)在北京毕业于英国人创办的一所教会中学---培华女中,并考取了 半官费留学。 同年,梁思成( 1901--1972)及其大弟梁思永(1904--1954)同时从北京清华留美预备班毕业。 1924年6月,林徽因与梁思成及梁思永一道赴美国留学。同年9月,林徽因和梁思成完成在康奈尔大学的暑期课程后一起到宾夕法尼亚大学(The University of Pennsylvania)学习建筑学。当时,非常著名的建筑师Paul Philippe Cret (1876--1945)担任宾夕法尼亚大学建筑系主任,为林徽因与梁思成的一位老师。1927年9月,林徽因与梁思成完成了在宾夕法尼亚大学的学业。 梁思永赴哈佛大学,专攻考古学和人类学,1927年回国工作。1928年9月,梁思永返回哈佛大学研究院继续深造,于1930年学成回国。梁思永是中国现代田野考古学的奠基人之一,他和其兄长梁思成于1948年同时当选为中央研究院首批院士(共81人)。一家两兄弟同时当选院士,这是一个奇迹。 孙启高 2010年12月1日 --------------------- 关于Paul Philippe Cret的生平与成就,参见: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cret Paul Philippe Cret (October 24, 1876 September 8, 1945) was a French-American architect and industrial designer . For more than thirty years, he headed the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania . Biography: Born in Lyon, France , Cret was educated at that city's cole des Beaux-Arts , then in Paris, where he studied at the Atelier of Jean-Louis Pascal . He came to the United States in 1903 to teach at the University of Pennsylvania . Although settled in America, he happened to be in France at the outbreak of World War I . He enlisted and remained in the French army for the duration, for which he was awarded the Croix de Guerre and made an officer in the Legion of Honor . Picture 1: (picture source from Larry D. Moore) Main Building, University of Texas (foreground), Austin, TX (1934-37). One of twenty buildings Cret designed for the campus. Cret's practice in America began in 1907. His first major commission, designed with Albert Kelsey, was the Pan-American Union Building (now Organization of American States ) in Washington DC (190810), a breakthrough that led to many war memorials, civic buildings, court houses, and other solid, official structures. His work through the 1920s was firmly in the Beaux-Arts tradition, but with the radically simplified classical form of the Folger Shakespeare Library (192932), he flexibly adopted and applied monumental classical traditions to modernist innovations. ( Bertram Goodhue also falls in that category.) Some of Cret's work is remarkably streamlined and forward-thinking. In the late 1920s the architect was brought in as design consultant on Fellheimer and Wagner's magnificent Cincinnati Union Terminal (192933), the high-water mark of Art Deco style in the United States. He became an American citizen in 1927. In 1931 the regents of The University of Texas at Austin commissioned Cret to design a master-plan for the campus, and build the Beaux-Art Main Building (193437), the university's signature tower. Cret would go on to collaborate on about twenty buildings on the campus. Cret's contributions to the railroad industry also included the design of the side fluting on the Burlington 's Pioneer Zephyr (debuted in 1934) and the Santa Fe 's Super Chief (1936) passenger cars . Cret won the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects in 1938. Ill health forced his resignation from teaching in 1937, and after years of inactivity he died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of heart disease. Legacy: Cret headed the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania for over 30 years, and designed such projects as the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia , the master plan for the University of Texas in Austin, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia , and the Duke Ellington Bridge in Washington, DC . Louis Kahn studied at the University of Pennsylvania under Cret, and worked in Cret's architectural office, 1929-30. Picture2: Eternal Light Peace Memorial, Gettysburg Battlefield , Gettysburg, PA (1938), Lee Lawrie , sculptor. Cret designed war memorials, including the National Memorial Arch at Valley Forge National Historical Park (191417), the Pennsylvania Memorial at the Meuse-Argonne Battlefield in Varennes-en-Argonne, France (1927), the Chateau-Thierry American Monument in Aisne, France (1930), and the Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial in Waregem, Belgium (1937). On the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg , President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated Cret's Eternal Light Peace Memorial (1938). Following Cret's death in 1945, his four partners assumed the practice under the partnership Harbeson, Hough, Livingston Larson , which for years was referred to by staff members as H2L2. The firm officially adopted this nickname as its formal title in 1976. H2L2 celebrated 100 years in 2007. Major projects: 1908-10 - Organization of American States Building, Washington, D.C.
