電影《莎士比亞的最後時光》影評:整理一下所有片中涉及的莎翁原文及一些科普
莎士比亞的最後時光影評按照提及的時間順序 整理如下:
I will not be afraid of death and bane,
Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.
Macbeth, Act V, Scene III
Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think,
Few come within the compass of my curse,--
Wherein I did not some notorious ill,
As kill a man, or else devise his death,
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it,
Accuse some innocent and forswear myself,
Set deadly enmity between two friends,
Make poor men's cattle break their necks;
Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night,
And bid the owners quench them with their tears.
Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves,
And set them upright at their dear friends' doors,
Even when their sorrows almost were forgot;
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters,
'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.'
Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly,
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.
Titus Andronicus, Act V, Scene I
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising,
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Sonnet 29
We are such stuff as dreams are made on,
and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
The Tempest, Act IV, Scene I
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II, Scene I
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o' the great;
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke;
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finish'd joy and moan:
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.
Cymbeline, Act IV, Scene II
關於Hamnet:莎士比亞創作Hamlet(1600-1601),其名即來源於自己失去的兒子Hamnet(1585-1596)。
關於the Earl of Southampton:莎學界認為其可能是莎士比亞的Sonnets的獻詞所提及的"Mr. W.H."的所指。另外,Sonnet 1-126是獻給一個年輕的男人(Fair Youth),Sonnet 127-154是獻給一個深色皮膚的女人(The Dark Lady)。
關於Ben Johnson:莎士比亞在世時,Ben Johnson確實曾因為莎不會希臘語而開玩笑。莎士比亞去世以後,他為莎士比亞全集的出版與流傳做出了很大貢獻。"He was not of an age, but for all time."
關於Marlowe:指Christopher Malowe,與莎士比亞同時代的劇作家,顏值極高。他最有名的劇本台詞是,"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"。死時年僅29歲,死因不明。一說其從事於間諜工作,死於謀殺。
