第1章 Praise

书签收藏评论目录封面

'These poems find – in the dowser's gift and the child's perception of the world – images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded … Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety.' Jamie McKendrick, Independent on Sunday

'Virtuosity and truth, the one useless without the other, are the hallmarks of these poems … In the Nobel lecture he commends the achievement of Yeats, whose work does what the necessary poetry does, which is to touch the base of our sympathetic nature while taking in at the same time the unsympathetic reality of the world to which that nature is constantly exposed. It is a fair account of what he himself has done.' Frank Kermode, Sunday Times

'There are many sorts of poems here: love poems, family poems, farm poems, metaphysical poems, his ancient-grave poems, the medieval-modern outcasting king poems his Sweeniad … It's good to find fully represented the ones which tell you there is a civil war going on, which tell you about a divided community.' Karl Miller, Observer

Double Tongue
英文图书 Faber & Faber
An aged prophetess at Delphi, the most sacred oracle in ancient Greece, looks back over her strange life as the Pythia, the First Lady and voice of the god Apollo. As a young virgin with disturbing psychic powers, Arieka was handed over to the service of the shrine by her parents. She has now spent sixty years as the very medium, the torn mouthpiece, of equivocal mantic utterances from the bronze tripod in the sanctuary beneath the temple. Over a lifetime at the mercy of god and priest and people she has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes and its influence in the world. Her reflections on the mysteries of the oracle, which her own weird gifts have embodied, are matched by her feminine insight into the human frailties of the High Priest himself, a true Athenian, whose intriguing against the Romans brings about humiliation and disaster. This extraordinary short novel was left in draft at Golding's sudden death in 1993 but it is a psychological and historical triumph.

But when Robert is inevitably discovered, obsession is turned on its head, and he finds himself unable to shake the young woman, nor entirely sure whether he should. From Patricia Highsmith, once called "the balladeer of stalking" by The New Yorker, The Cry of the Owl is a modern classic ready to be reborn.
