悼念 Robert Redford

Out of Africa, Out of this World, Good-Bye Mr. Redford ➡️ 紐約時報報導

Redford 來到世上的貢獻不可勝數, 但他在 Out of Africa 裏的"草地洗頭"是千古絕唱,  如果愛情須要闡釋, Redford 為我們鮮明界定了愛情.

Grow old together - 影迷畫了一幅 Redford 及 Streep 的夫妻照

Streep (Baroness Karen Blixen) 在影片的葬禮中引用英國詩人 A.E. Housman (1859-1936) 的詩作悼念 Redford (Denys Finch-Hatton) / Main Theme of the Out of Africa by Itzhak Perlman

To An Athlete Dying Young

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s.

致早逝的健將

你在家鄉贏得比賽的那一刻，
我們用轎子把你抬過市場；
男人和孩子站在旁邊歡呼，
然後我們把你抬到肩膀高高地送回家。

聰明的小伙子，早早地走了，
離開榮耀不再駐足的田野，
月桂樹雖然生長得早，
卻比玫瑰凋謝得更快。

如今，你不會再成為那些
榮譽已凋的少年們的手下敗將，
那些曾有名聲的賽跑者，
他們的名聲先你消逝。

聚集凝視那沒有生氣的亡者, 
在你很早就戴了桂冠的頭頂，在捲髮上，他們看到了,
那比少女美粧的花環鮮度更短暫的, 卻仍未凋謝的花冠。
