  • 托尔金与世界大战(一):永远的TCBS

    节目录制:江南辰、文津、Lulu
    主题插画:文津
    剪辑:Lulu

    特别说明:受疫情影响,本期节目是三人分别在家中语音连线再各自录的,因语音延时等原因造成的尴尬而喜感的互动,以及无法展开及时有效的讨论,请多多包涵。

    这一期开始我们来到新的主题:托尔金与世界大战。

    参加第一次世界大战是托老生命中不可磨灭的经历,虽然他从未就此经历写过任何回忆录或文章,只在二战期间与两个儿子的通信中偶有提及。但作为作家,战争的经历、时代的伤痛必然会以某种方式与他的写作经验交织、互渗。更何况,其中洲世界的第一块基石就垒于战时。但要说明的是,我们讲这个主题,并非要说他的作品是战争的隐喻性书写。无论是托老还是小托爷爷,都否认过这一点,而托老尤其厌恶寓言体裁。

    在这个大主题里,我们将从战前、战时、战后三个阶段分别来聊聊世界大战与托尔金的人生、创作的关系。

    这一期主讲战前,无法忽视的当然是托尔金早年的友情小团体T.C.B.S.。其经历发展、演变、“食客清洗”,最后固定下来的核心四成员是:

    约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金(J.R.R.Tolkien),1892—1973
    克里斯托弗·怀斯曼(Christopher Wiseman),1893—1987
    罗伯特·吉尔森(Robert Gilson),1893—1916
    杰弗里·巴赫·史密斯(G.B.Smith)1894—1916

    节目中提到的三首诗的原文在此,可参照收听。

    “伦敦会议”后托尔金写下的第一首奠定中洲神话体系的诗作:

    The Voyage of Earendel the Evening Star

    Éarendel sprang up from the Ocean’s cup
    In the gloom of the mid-world’s rim;
    From the door of Night as a ray of light
    Leapt over the twilight brim,
    And launching his bark like a silver spark
    From the golden-fading sand;
    Down the sunlit breath of Day’s fiery Death
    He sped from Westerland.

    托尔金奔赴前线时跨越英吉利海峡所作:

    The Lonely Isle

    O glimmering island set sea-giirdled and alone -
    A gleam of white rock through a sunny haze ;
    O all ye hoary caverns ringing with the moan
    Of long green waters in the southern bays ;
    Ye murmurous never-ceasing voices of the tide ;
    Ye plumèd foams wherein the shore and spirits ride ;
    Ye white birds flying from the whispering coast
    And wailing conclaves of the silver shore,
    Sea-voiced, sea-wingèd, lamentable host
    Who cry about unharboured beaches evermore,
    Who sadly whistling skim these waters grey
    And wheel about my lonely outward way - 

    For me for ever they forbidden marge appears
    A gleam of white rock over sundering seas,
    And thou art crowned in glory through a mist of tears,
    Thy shores all full of music, and thy lands of ease -
    Old haunts of many children robed in flowers,
    Until the sun pace down his arch of hours,
    When in the silence fairies with a wistful heart
    Dance to soft airs their harps and viols weave.
    Down the great wastes and in gloom apart
    I long for thee and thy fair citadel.
    Where echoing through the lighted elms at eve
    In a high inland tower there peals a bell :
    O lonely, sparkling isle, farewell!

    G.B.Smith为悼念Gilson的阵亡所作:

    What are we, what am I?
    Poor rough creatures, whose life
    Is ‘depressing’ and ‘grey’,
    Is a heart-breaking strife
    With death and with shame
    And your polite laughter,
    Till – the world pass away
    In smoke and in flame,
    And some of us die,
    And some live on after
    To build it anew.

  • 新春特别放送:爱上托老是一种命运

    主讲:江南辰,文津
    插画:文津
    剪辑:Lulu

    这些日子太难过太难熬。
    请各位听众务必根据专业的医学建议保护好自己和家人。

    这期节目的内容几周前就录好了,原本想作为其他节目的开头引言,但因南辰和文津分享自己的粉丝经历分享到收不住,索性剪成单独一期(还比其他期都长很多),因相对轻松欢快,之前就打算拿来作为新春特别节目(但从眼下的情况看,这个年……真的没啥好过的),让大家听来小小放松一下。

    南辰和文津在本期节目里将与大家分享他们的入坑契机、独特的粉丝经历(如主题定向越野;被华纳、新西兰航空邀请参加活动;去牛津交流学习等)。时局艰难,这些源自生命的热爱、执念、信仰,就是我们作为个体的生之欲。

    附最后诗朗诵原文:

    You & Me and the Cottage of Lost Play

    You and me--we know that land
    And often have been there
    In the long old days, old nursery days,
    A dark child and a fair.
    Was it down the paths of firelight dreams
    In winter cold and white,
    Or in the blue-spun twilit hours
    Of little early tucked-up beds
    In drowsy summer night,
    That You and I got lost in Sleep
    And met each other there--
    Your dark hair on your white nightgown,
    And mine was tangled fair?

    We wandered shyly hand in hand,
    Or rollicked in the fairy sand
    And gathered pearls and shells in pails,
    While all about the nightingales
    Were singing in the trees.
    We dug for silver with our spades
    By little inland sparkling seas,Then ran ashore through sleepy seas,
    And down a warm and winding lane
    And never never found again
    Between high whispering trees.

    The air was neither night or day,
    But faintly dark with softest light,
    When first there glimmered into sightThe Cottage of Lost Play.
    'Twas builded very very old
    White, and thatched with straws of gold,
    And pierced with peeping lattices
    That looked toward the sea;
    And our own children's garden-plots
    Were there--our own forgetmenots,
    Red daisies, cress and mustard,
    And blue nemophile.

    O! All the borders trimmed with box
    Were full of favourite flowers--of phlox,
    Of larkspur, pinks, and hollyhocks
    Beneath a red may-tree:
    And all the paths were full of shapes,
    Of tumbling happy white-clad shapes,
    And with them You and Me.

    And some had silver watering-cans
    And watered all their gowns,
    Or sprayed each other; some laid plans
    To build them houses, fairy towns,
    Or dwellings in the trees;
    And some were clambering on the roof;
    Some crooning lonely and aloof;
    And some were dancing fairy-rings
    And weaving pearly daisy-strings,
    Or chasing golden bees;
    But here and there a little pair
    With rosy cheeks and tangled hair
    Debated quaint old childish things--
    And we were one of these.

    But why it was there came a time
    When we could take the road no more,
    Though long we looked, and high would climb,
    Or gaze from many a seaward shore
    To find the path between sea and sky
    To those old gardens of delight;
    And how it goes now in that land,
    If there the house and gardens stand,
    Still filled with children clad in white--
    We know not, You and I.

    And why it was Tomorrow came
    And with his grey hand led us back;
    And why we never found the same
    Old cottage, or the magic track
    That leads between a silver sea
    And those old shores and gardens fair
    Where all things are, that ever were--
    We know not, You and Me.

  • 托尔金与女性(二):搁浅的船

    主讲:江南辰,文津

    插画:文津

    剪辑:Lulu


    (这期长了一丢丢。)


    欢迎收听“托尔金的树叶”第二期节目。

    感谢文津又给我们画了非常美丽的树。


    求生欲声明①:本期节目的声音听起来有点像……在山体间穿行的列车,一会儿见光一会儿进入隧道。主要是因为这里面既有第一次录音的内容,又有后来补录的内容。第一次录音时,因为开着空调,所以杂音不少(大家听第一期节目应该感受到了……),而补录时我们关了空调,所以杂音几乎听不见了。于是声音就成了这种明暗交织效果。不过我们买了话筒啦,等到第二个主题开始时,听感应该会有很大提升。


    求生欲声明②:我们都是爱好者,知识、思想、能力都有死角,不完善不严谨不正确的地方,请一定要多多向我们提出,感谢各位听众。保持交流,保持沟通。


    这一期将继续“托尔金与女性”的主题,南辰和文津将和大家聊聊“贝伦与露西恩”的故事、托老婚姻观中的“搁浅理论”,等等。


    虽然我们有自己的主题计划和安排,但大家想听什么内容也可以留言告诉我们哦。

  • 托尔金与女性(一):母亲与妻子

    各位好,欢迎收听“托尔金的树叶”,和我们共同开启一段关于英国文豪J.R.R.托尔金的人生与文学的深度游。这是一个专门分享托尔金、探索托尔金、研究托尔金、传播托尔金的电台。

    让我们先说一句:托老生日快乐!

    电台由三个热爱托尔金的小伙伴共同创立。主讲人是江南辰和文津,主持是lulu。



    江南辰,城市设计师。利用业余时间对托尔金的《魔戒》和中洲世界相关著作进行了超过15年的研究。2014年,他被华纳兄弟选中成为了全球75位“霍比特人粉丝征集令”优胜者之一,有幸去到“中洲世界”新西兰访问电影拍摄地,并与导演彼得·杰克逊一同在全球上映前观看了《霍比特人》电影的最后一部。前年他又去到中洲世界的诞生地牛津大学,接受了由著名托尔金学者约翰·加思讲授的关于托尔金教授诸多著作和生平的短期培训。




    文津,沉迷中洲世界很多年,与比尔博一样渴望冒险。一名插画师、艺术教育工作者、英语译者,也是摄影爱好者和cosplayer。





    Lulu,托尔金爱好者,文学编辑。


    为什么会想到做这个电台呢?因为喜欢、好玩、渴望安利。首先我们三个都很喜欢托尔金,喜欢托尔金带给我们的世界和长期沉浸其中的那种无关功利、心无旁骛的快乐,因此,我们想通过一种高密度的知识传递,来安利我们的喜欢,来告诉很多对托尔金有兴趣或依然观望的人,他的人生与文学世界多么有趣、精彩,有厚度。


    我们是按主题而非线性时间来设置每一期的内容的,每个主题都会把托尔金的人生与文学创作、研究结合起来,使其自然形成一种互文效果,让各位听众既能了解他的人生,又能了解他的文学世界,并且发现联系它们的纽带。

    第一个主题是非常有趣的托尔金与女性,我们将来聊一聊女性在托尔金生命中与作品中扮演的角色,以及托老对爱情、婚姻的种种观点。那么第一期节目我们就会聊聊托尔金的母亲和妻子在他生命中的意义。
