Exactly 199 years ago today, Byron sailed on Lake Geneva and visited Chateau de Chillon which inspired him to write The Prisoner of Chillon. It was a nice day today and I took a boat trip from Lausanne to Chillon to get inspired! (22 June 2015)
“Eternal spirit of the chainless mind!/ Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! Thou art,/ For there thy habitation is the heart –/ The hear which love of thee alone can bind;/ And when thy sons to fetters are consigned –/ To fetters, and the damp vault’s dayless gloom,/ Their country conquers with their martyrdom,/ And Freedom’s fame finds wings on every wind./ Chillon! Thy prison is a holy place,/ And thy sad floor an altar – for ‘twas trod,/ Until his very steps have left a trace/ Worn, as if thy cold pavement were a sod,/ By Bonnivard! – May none those marks efface!/ For they appeal from tyranny to God.”
Sonnet on Chillon, Lord Byron (1816)
一百九十九年前的今天，拜倫在日內瓦湖乘船到錫庸城堡，之後他寫成敘事詩名作《錫庸的囚徒》。今天風和日麗，我也從洛桑乘船到錫庸，希望得到創作的靈感！(2015年6月22日)
“不受約束的心的永恆的精靈！/ 自由啊！你在監獄中明亮無比——/ 因為在那兒你是住在人心裡——/ 能約束人心的只有對你的愛情，/ 而當你的兒子們，被腳鐐扣緊，/ 關進這潮濕的暗無天日的地牢裡，/ 他們的國家因他們受難而勝利，/ 而自由的美名也隨風傳遍了遠近。/ 錫庸！你的監獄成了聖地，/ 而你悲傷的地板是祭壇，只因/ 龐尼瓦踩過它，留下深深的記憶，/ 仿佛你冰冷的鋪道只是片草坪！/ 但願誰也不要把這些腳印抹去！/ 因為它們向上帝控訴著暴行。”
詠錫庸城堡 拜倫 (1816)（鄒絳 譯）
