巴珑
脆弱的人心难免要有些合法的娱乐，“要不是听说过爱情，多少人会知道爱情……”
木心诗集《巴珑》，依据木心晚年定稿，收入《巴珑》《罗马停云》《伦敦街声》《我辈的雨》《明人秋色》《波尔多的钟声》《道院背坡》《五岛晚邮》《洛阳伽蓝赋》《魏玛早春》等诗，并配有物件影像、创作手迹。
木心说：“我幸于乐于为公有的人类文献复此一笔，忝证‘文学’无疑是初比今夕何夕的时鲜，而后比执手偕老的永恒。”许多改写之作，都交代了来源：《洛阳伽蓝赋》的改写最为彰著，《明人秋色》取自谭元春游记，《东京淫词》取自永井荷风散文，《萨比尼四季》取自西塞罗散文；有来自田纳西·威廉斯回忆录的《门户上方的公羊头》；《伦敦街声》《埃特鲁里亚庄园记》是取材于书信集，《兰佩杜萨之贶》则源出小说……
“巴珑”本是马德里的一种酒壶，在西班牙，也在木心的收藏里。诗集《巴珑》出版面世时，诗人已七十二岁，游学美国，一如本书收录的诸诗，诗人是世界中的自我放逐，也是世界的中心，对人类的永久价值不可回避地面对。

About the author
Mu Xin
33 books25 followersMu Xin (1927-2011) was the pen name of a renowned Chinese diasporan writer and artist who once lived in the New York area. Mu Xin was born in Wuzhen, South China, into a wealthy aristocratic family with business interests in Shanghai. He was among the last generation to receive a classical education in the literati tradition, but he was also exposed through voluminous reading to the highest achievements of Western art and culture.
From 1947 to 1949, Mu Xin attended Shanghai Institute of the Arts. From 1949 until 1982, when he came to the United States, MuXin lived in China. Although he wrote profusely in that period, all of his earlier manuscripts were confiscated and destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Since 1982, MuXin published twelve books of fiction, prose, and poetry (in Chinese) and contributed to literary columns in Chinese journals and newspapers outside the PRC. Among the Chinese diaspora, MuXin’s works have attracted an intense following.
Few Chinese writers in modern history have as firm a mastery of the Chinese cultural and linguistic heritage as MuXin did. Innovatively combining fiction, sanwen (a Chinese genre which blends characteristics of the essay, fiction, and poetry), and philosophical reflections, MuXin’s writing is both profoundly Chinese and reminiscent of the internalization and unconventionality of Western modern masters. In addition to his literary accomplishments, MuXin was also a well recognized artist whose paintings are preserved, among other places, at Yale University and Harvard University Art Galleries.
