第5章 Anahorish 1944

'We were killing pigs when the Americans arrived.

A Tuesday morning, sunlight and gutter-blood

Outside the slaughterhouse. From the main road

They would have heard the squealing,

Then heard it stop and had a view of us

In our gloves and aprons coming down the hill.

Two lines of them, guns on their shoulders, marching.

Armoured cars and tanks and open jeeps.

Sunburnt hands and arms. Unknown, unnamed,

Hosting for Normandy.

Not that we knew then

Where they were headed, standing there like youngsters

As they tossed us gum and tubes of coloured sweets.'

    Eliot's haunting verse play, set in a country house in the north of England, was performed at the Westminster Theatre in London in March 1939, six months before the outbreak of war.'What is wonderful is the marvellous opening out of consciousness, the flowering of meaning, which makes the play an account of a spiritual experience. There are passages of great poetic beauty, and statements which are the fruits of a lifetime devoted to poetry.' Listener

    Wives and Daughters(III) 妻子与女儿/锦绣佳人(英文版)

    Wives and Daughters is an emotional novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1865, it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood. The heroine of the novel is Molly, an attractive and rather unworldly young woman. Her father sends her to stay with the Hamleys of Hamley Hall, a gentry family. Molly forms a close attachment with Mrs. Hamley, who embraces her almost as a daughter. Molly also befriends the younger son, Roger. Molly is aware that she would not be considered a suitable match for the sons of Squire Hamley because of her status. However, she has always preferred Roger's good sense and honourable character and soon falls in love with him. Unfortunately, Roger falls in love with other girl. Molly is heartbroken, and struggles with her sorrow and her knowledge that the girl lacks affection for Roger.
