剧中多次提到 T.S.Eliot,故看完后查了一些资料,与大家共享:
1、Lazarus 这个名字貌似是出自 The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock:
And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all”—
If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: “That is not what I meant at all;
That is not it, at all.”
2、剧中 Doctor 与 Lazarus 的对话中引用了 The Hollow Men中的:
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
第一次击昏 Lazarus后 Doctor对 Martha说:
Eliot saw that too,
"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
同样出自The Hollow Men。
我对Eliot的诗文不是很熟悉,若还有其他欢迎大家补充~
