光之书库
关于光的书,按主题而非按日期汇集。
An Appeal to All that Doubt
劳写给怀疑的人,反复回到火的意象。他试着说出什么能唤醒一个生命,越过思索所能描述的部分。这本书把每日的句子延长一些,却不替读者决定它对自己意味着什么。
在亚马逊上查找Centuries of Meditations
特拉赫恩观看世界,试着为他所接住的东西找到词。海与星辰不再停在远处,它们进入他的生活方式。《沉思百章》打开一处空间,读者可以在那里感受自己的目光。
在亚马逊上查找Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness
安德希尔汇集了许多面向光的生命故事。各自的历程彼此呼应,却不相同。放在布莱克的诗句旁,这本书让人看见,同一束光可以被每个人以不同方式接住。
在亚马逊上查找Poems from the Divan of Hafiz
A fourteenth-century poet of Shiraz wrote these, and Gertrude Bell’s English keeps both of his habits at once: he means the wine cup and he means God, and he does not choose between them.
在亚马逊上查找Pseudo-Dionysius: The Complete Works
Dionysius wrote in Greek some fifteen hundred years ago and signed himself with a name that was already centuries old, which is one way of saying the light was never his. This volume holds all of his surviving work, and the long fourth chapter on light is where the portrait comes from.
在亚马逊上查找Revelations of Divine Love
诺里奇的朱利安把一段个人经历写成文字。她的叙述穿过数个世纪来到这里,带着那句不断回来的话,一切都会好。这本书可以按自己的节奏阅读,让每个人都有地方听见触动自己的部分。
在亚马逊上查找Songs of Kabir
A fifteenth-century weaver from Benares sang these, and for centuries they travelled by voice rather than by page. Rabindranath Tagore’s English is spare on purpose: it keeps the song’s shape instead of explaining it.
在亚马逊上查找The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage
A fourteenth-century Flemish priest wrote this for people living ordinary lives, and he keeps returning to one image: a light that is common to all, and trees that stand in the same sun and bear different fruit.
在亚马逊上查找The Cloud of Unknowing
一位没有留下名字的作者对一位读者说话,一再回到爱,在思想不足以抵达的地方。这些页里给未知留出位置。它们作为一部流传下来的文字相遇,不要求读者接受一种教义。
在亚马逊上查找The Confessions
A bishop wrote this near the end of the fourth century, telling the whole of his life in the open and addressing it to God. He keeps returning to what can and cannot be said about light.
在亚马逊上查找The Divine Comedy
但丁的文字让一段旅程有了形状。《天堂篇》是其中最后的部分。在第三十歌,光与爱落在同一句诗里。诗保留了一个目光沿途改变的痕迹。
在亚马逊上查找The Enneads
在《九章集》中,普罗提诺不断回到灵魂与照亮它的事物。思索走向一种无法完全容纳的经验。在引文旁边,这些页给目光转向光更多时间。
在亚马逊上查找The Fire of Love
A fourteenth-century English hermit wrote this in Latin, and it has been carried into English many times since. He spends the whole of it on one subject: what arrives when love comes uninvited, and how little of it language is able to hold.
在亚马逊上查找The Imitation of Christ
A fifteenth-century priest wrote this as counsel for ordinary life rather than for a cloister. He keeps returning to attention — to what a person can gather, and to how much of it arrives rather than being won.
在亚马逊上查找The Practice of the Presence of God
A seventeenth-century lay brother cooked in a monastery kitchen and wrote almost nothing himself; the letters and conversations here were gathered by others. He keeps returning to the same discovery, that attention can be held in the middle of ordinary work.
在亚马逊上查找The Revelations of Mechthild of Magdeburg
A thirteenth-century beguine wrote this in her own Low German over three decades. Light is her recurring figure, and she keeps asking what it does when nothing lights it.
在亚马逊上查找The Scale of Perfection
A fourteenth-century English priest wrote this as guidance for one person, and it has been read ever since by people with no cell and no rule. He keeps returning to what a person can actually tell apart, and to how little of it is settled by looking.
在亚马逊上查找Theologia Germanica
这篇匿名文字停留在欲望和人给自己留下的位置上。短短的章节让人看见,当那个位置不再居中时,什么会改变。一个来自另一个世纪的声音,每个人都可以从自己的路上读它。
