那幅画,是英国浪漫主义诗人、画家、雕刻家威廉·布莱克(WilliamBlake,1757 —1827)的作品,名为《伟大的红龙与日光蔽体的女人》(The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun)。其宗教意义应是取自《启示录》第十二章第一节:“天上现出种种异象:一妇人披日踏月,头戴十二星冠,正在分娩的痛苦中呼喊;一头红色巨龙,七头戴七冠长十角,尾拖三分之一星辰,在妇人前欲吞吃那将娩出的婴孩。妇人生下一男婴,立即被提到上帝宝座那里,将来他用铁杖辖管万国。妇人按上帝指引逃到旷野,她可以在那儿生存1260天。(And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; and being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems; and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven; and cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod; and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days. ——Apocalypse 12:1)”。启示将出现新的天地。
~~如果你的回答肯定又否定,我是不会感到惊讶的。但是,你是以那地牢的标准来衡量自己的,可衡量自己不能太苛刻了;要获得神圣的宁静,你得一次又一次地去争取。因为鞭策你前进的是困苦,看到困苦,困苦就不会有尽头,永远也不回有尽头。
我不打算拜访你,``,有你在,这个世界更精彩。务必同样善意的待我。
```用钢笔碰了碰他的嘴唇。他看到外面的夜空,笑了。
我现在有窗户了。
猎户星座此时已出现在地平线上,他的附近是木星,2000之前再也不会有比这更灿烂的时刻。(我不打算告诉你现在是几点,那星星有多高。)但是我希望你也能看到它。我们看到的星星是一样的。~~
在遥远的东部,在切萨皮克海岸,猎户星座高悬在明结的夜空,星座下面是一座很大的老房子,其中有一间房间的炉火已经封好准备过夜,火光却因为烟囱之上风的吹拂还在轻轻摇曳。四周的这光线叫人无法确定。
但是,枕头上那张在炉火光映照下如玫瑰花一般的脸,却无疑是~~,她睡的很沉,因为~~已经安静。
