"What Deepens the Deep for Us":Poetry, Contemplation, and the Art of Reading Mark S. Burrows (bio) The sole archives of the divine are poems, and an address to the god, more than any other kind, requires a conversion in language or an entirely different attitude within it. —Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe This essay undertakes the task of unfolding Lacoue-Labarthe's bold claim,1 exploring poetry as a literary genre and examining how it relates to "an address to the god," here understood as contemplative practice.2 As Lacoue-Labarthe suggests, such an approach identifies poetry with prayer since each depends upon nothing less than "a conversion in language" and nothing other than "an entirely different attitude within it." It is important to say that both have more to do with practice than theory, steering us toward the question of reading as contemplative engagement and inviting us to consider contemplation as a poetics of experience. What unites the two is that each gestures toward, and indeed depends upon, such a conversion—in terms of language, first of all, but just as importantly a broader view of life itself. At the outset, it must be said that the matter of what constitutes contemplation—and poetry itself—is not uncomplicated, particularly in a culture shaped by pressures that ignore the call to "address the god" and dismiss the poetic as an irrelevant luxury in "a world come of age."3 Nietzsche anticipated the challenge when he conceded that Down below—everything speaks, everything is missed. One might ring out one's wisdom with bells, but the merchants in the marketplace will out-ring it with pennies. Everything down there speaks, but no one knows how to understand. Everything falls into the water, but nothing falls into the deep wells. Everything down there speaks, but nothing comes to completion. Everything cackles, but who knows to sit quietly on a nest and hatch eggs?4 This essay explores how poetry might be engaged as a means of orienting ourselves to a contemplative practice of reading, examining the ways that such a practice expands our capacity to listen for the voice of the "other," so that our words—and we with them—might fall into "deep wells." [End Page 269] "A RAID ON THE INARTICULATE" In a short prose-poem entitled "Lecture on Mystery," the Polish poet Adam Zagajewski approached the challenge of speaking about poetry with a wryness characteristic of his thought: We do not know what poetry is. We do not know what suffering is. We do not know what death is. We do know what mystery is.5 Or do we? Zagajewski avoids going further in attempting to define "mystery"—for good reason, one might add, leaving us wondering how, if at all, we might "know" what mystery is, to say nothing of daring to speak or write about it. The point he is making is not that of explaining this but rather of pointing to mystery as an essential dimension not only of suffering and death but of poetry as well.

《是什么加深了我们的心灵深处》:诗歌、沉思和阅读的艺术马克·s·巴罗斯(传记)神的唯一档案是诗歌,而对神的演讲,比其他任何形式的演讲都更需要语言上的转换,或者在其中有一种完全不同的态度。-菲利普·拉库-拉巴特本文承担了展开拉库-拉巴特大胆主张的任务,1探索诗歌作为一种文学体裁,并研究它如何与“对上帝的讲话”联系起来,在这里被理解为沉思的实践正如拉科-拉巴特所建议的那样,这种方法将诗歌与祈祷等同起来,因为两者都依赖于“语言的转换”和“其中完全不同的态度”。重要的是,两者都更多地与实践而不是理论有关,引导我们将阅读视为沉思的参与,并邀请我们将沉思视为一种体验的诗学。将两者联系在一起的是,两者都倾向于,而且确实依赖于这样一种转变——首先是语言上的转变,但同样重要的是对生活本身更广阔的看法。首先,必须指出的是,构成沉思——以及诗歌本身——的问题并非简单,尤其是在一个由压力塑造的文化中,这种压力忽视了“向上帝讲话”的呼吁,并将诗歌视为“一个成熟的世界”中无关紧要的奢侈品。尼采预见到了这一挑战,他承认,在下面,一切都在说话,一切都被错过了。一个人可以用钟声敲响自己的智慧,但市场上的商人会用硬币来敲响自己的智慧。下面的一切都在说话,但没人知道怎么听懂。一切都掉到水里,但没有什么掉到深井里。下面的一切都在说话,但没有什么是完整的。万物都咯咯地笑,但谁知道安静地坐在窝里孵蛋呢?这篇文章探讨了如何将诗歌作为一种引导我们进行沉思式阅读练习的手段,考察了这种练习如何扩大我们倾听“他者”声音的能力,从而使我们的语言——以及我们与之在一起的语言——可能落入“深井”。波兰诗人亚当·扎加耶夫斯基(Adam Zagajewski)在一首名为《神秘的演讲》(Lecture ON Mystery)的散文诗短篇中,以他思想中特有的讽刺口吻面对谈论诗歌的挑战:我们不知道诗歌是什么。我们不知道什么是痛苦。我们不知道死亡是什么。我们知道什么是神秘还是我们呢?扎加耶夫斯基避免进一步试图定义“神秘”——有人可能会补充说,这是有充分理由的,让我们想知道,如果我们能“知道”什么是神秘,更不用说敢于谈论或写它了。他的观点并不是解释这一点,而是指出神秘不仅是痛苦和死亡的一个基本维度,也是诗歌的一个基本维度。人们甚至可以说,对这种“认识”的诗意姿态是一种沉思的任务,因为无论我们可能理解它是什么,沉思都暗示了一种既在我们的经验之内又在我们的经验之外的姿势,渴望超越我们的东西,但也以某种方式在我们的经验中提供了自己的“认识”。在一次关于“正确性”的讲座中,伊塔洛·卡尔维诺(Italo Calvino)谈到了同样的动态,他这样说:我认为我们总是在寻找隐藏的东西,或者仅仅是潜在的或假设的东西,只要它们出现在表面上,我们就会追踪它们的痕迹。我认为我们的基本心理过程在每一个历史时期都是如此,从我们的旧石器时代的祖先开始,他们是猎人和采集者。这个词把看得见的痕迹与看不见的东西、不存在的东西、渴望或害怕的东西联系起来,就像一座脆弱的紧急桥梁被扔到深渊上。因此,对我个人而言,正确使用语言是使我们能够谨慎、注意和谨慎地接近事物(在场或不在场),尊重事物(在场或不在场)所传达的信息……

I live in a hiker's paradise and do not take that reality for granted. As often as I can, I am on the trail: exploring new trails and expanding my sense of community, each trail's ecosystem feeling like a new friend; and returning to trails that have left an impression on me, each visit like a reunion with old friends. I have come to recognize that I do not just "love" hiking or "love" these places, either in the sense of intense enjoyment or responsive care, even if these trails do give me pleasure or motivate me to consider my responsibility to protect and nurture these spaces. It feels more fitting to say that I have fallen in love with these places. I want to be with them. I want them to flourish.

书评:《农业精神:培养信仰、社区和土地》作者:诺曼·维尔兹巴马特·博斯韦尔(传记)《农业精神:培养信仰、社区和土地》诺曼·维尔兹巴著。圣母大学,印第安纳州:圣母大学出版社,2022。264页,29.00美元。我是华盛顿州卡马斯的居民。我住在贵格会牧师聚会的附近——开车4分钟或步行15分钟——但开车2小时(或更少)就能到威东、卢威特、克利基塔特和锡克锡克夸(或者按照他们的定居者的名字,分别是胡德山、圣海伦斯山、亚当斯山和杰斐逊山)。我距离太平洋沿岸的几条小径也有两个小时的路程,距离哥伦比亚河峡谷只有几分钟的路程。我生活在徒步者的天堂,并不认为这是理所当然的现实。我尽可能多地走在路上:探索新的路线,扩大我的社区意识,每条路线的生态系统都像一个新朋友;回到那些给我留下深刻印象的小道,每次都像与老朋友重逢。我开始认识到,我不仅仅是“爱”徒步旅行或“爱”这些地方,无论是在强烈的享受或响应性的关怀的意义上,即使这些小径确实给了我快乐或激励我考虑我的责任来保护和培育这些空间。更恰当的说法是,我已经爱上了这些地方。我想和他们在一起。我想让它们茁壮成长。我在我的社交媒体账户上讲述徒步旅行的故事,分享照片,邀请别人分享我的快乐,希望他们自己“来看看”,如果可能的话。考虑到这些徒步旅行是多么的有活力和清晰,我开始需要它们了。随着时间的推移,我逐渐了解了这些小径生态系统的模式和特点。我怎么知道我被迷住了?我最喜欢的野花之一是哥伦比亚(虎)百合,这是一种橙色、棕色斑点、朝下的野花,生长在亚高山的草甸和森林中。他们的存在是令人愉快的不可预测的;我可以徒步七英里,只遇到一株路边的哥伦比亚百合,然后开车经过路边灌木丛中盛开的数百株。2022年6月,我在拉卡马斯公园(Lacamas Park)发现了一株哥伦比亚百合。拉卡马斯公园位于卡马斯市范围内,占地约300英亩,小径密布,有小溪、瀑布和野花。这个公园以每年五月盛开的紫色卡马斯百合花而闻名,但这是我在卡马斯居住七年以来第一次看到哥伦比亚百合花。一年后,也就是2023年6月,我沿着森林小径来到同一个地方,希望能再次找到那朵百合花。我花了一些时间去寻找,但当我找到它的时候,我打破了森林的平静,发自肺腑地说了一声“是的!”我的呼喊反映了一系列相互关联的感情和冲动。狂喜。解脱。保护问题。的关注。崇敬。渴望与他人分享好消息。我对这一奇观的天真漠视,可能会让在附近一块岩石上休息的那对徒步旅行者觉得我的兴高采烈。许多贵格会教徒喜欢在所有事情上说“上帝的旨意”,呼吁我们的神学基石来激励和引导我们对自己和他人的爱。我注意到上帝在我对这些小径的强迫和喜爱。我在生活中发现了上帝的存在。我注意到上帝在我们之间的空间,在我和这些非人类之间的连接和动态力量,使我能够接受自然的营养,同时也认识到我的责任来培育这些空间。我满怀希望地寻找这株特殊的哥伦比亚百合,以及找到它后的反应,反映了我与这片我居住的土地之间不断加深的关系。这种关系是通过有意识的、有意识的努力发展起来的,但也通过一种开放的态度,简单地接受存在的东西。简而言之,我恋爱了。生态神学正处于鼎盛时期。鉴于人们对地球的福祉以及可能受气候变化和生态系统破坏影响最大的生命的关注日益增加,文学作品的激增……

但是,如果一个人活了很多年,并乐此不生;他却要记念黑暗的日子。因为他们将要增多。传道书11:8(英王钦本)他独自在外,在争竞的风中,看见两片云彩接受它,两只吵闹的乌鸦与它斗争,聚集五英尺,失去三英尺。眨眼间一切都可能被吹走。乌鸦们在它们众多的叫声中交换着一声:啧啧,啧啧。在他的左边,他想象着一个昏暗的形状。他没有看那里。他看着天空。一只鸟跳到松树上消失了。另一只继续战斗。这个人已经到了人生的某个阶段,一些蛛丝马迹,无论多么模糊,都会重新点燃他童年时代的生动场景。他不知道是什么吸引了他,是什么召唤了他叔叔的农场,还没有被晒黑店、熟食店和连锁店包围。它也许是风中的一种气味,虽然它当时的担子全是稻草和泥土。肉牛竖着站在田野里,尾巴夹在后腿之间,冒着热气的鼻孔被冰包围着。他回忆起牛群偶尔发出的呻吟声。虽然已经是中午,但他还是不合时宜地感觉到,夜色正在降临,就像他刚才感觉到的那样,寒冷会吹透他的全身。如果这个男孩还没有用隐喻来思考,他仍然感觉到世界上有一些黑暗的东西——比那些乌鸦还要黑暗。Sydney Lea是前普利策奖决赛选手和诗人奖得主。2011年至2015年,他是佛蒙特州的桂冠诗人,著有23本书:一本小说,五卷个人文集和三本评论文集,以及14本诗集,最近的一本是《Here》(Four Way books, NYC, 2019)。他的第十五部作品集《什么在发光?》,将于明年2月出版。版权所有©2023约翰霍普金斯大学出版社

Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life by Shane Clifton (review) 《残废的恩典:残疾、美德伦理与美好生活》作者:谢恩·克利夫顿

Reviewed by: Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life by Shane Clifton Maureen Pratt MTS, MFA (bio) Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life. By Shane Clifton. Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, 2018. 285 pp. $44.99 pbk/ $42.74 eb. A few years after my diagnosis of disabling lupus, a Christian friend asked if I was "over it" yet. When I explained that lupus is a chronic condition with no medical cure, my friend said, "You're not cured because you're not faithful enough." This encounter, a discomforting and disheartening reminder of how entrenched some uncompassionate attitudes toward virtue and health still are, resurfaced in my mind several times as I read Shane Clifton's Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life. In this profound and provocative book, Clifton reflects on two central questions: what is the significance of the Christian virtue tradition for the happiness (flourishing) of people with disabilities, and might disability itself offer "fresh insight into how we should understand flourishing?" (225) A theologian by training—"ecumenical and liberal (by which I mean open-minded in inclination)" (3), Clifton is honorary associate and professor at the Centre of Disability Research and Policy in the faculty of health sciences at the University of Sydney. However, perhaps even more important than his academic bona fides is his lived experience as an adult abruptly thrust into personal disability through a bicycle accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. This experience provides indispensable, authentic (and very honest) context to Clifton's reflections and, with the other narratives he includes in the book, brings what might have otherwise been a detached work into compelling, personal conversation with the subject matter and the reader. Prior to his accident, Clifton admits he had read nothing about disability, a comment perhaps not surprising; "disability is marginal to theological reflection" (151). Afterward, totally inter/dependent on others for all his care and slipping "into a deepening unhappiness" (4), he describes picking up a book he had begun reading pre-accident: Alistair MacIntyre's Dependent Rational Animals. There, he "discovered within its pages a spark of hope" and began to consider how the Christian virtue tradition could inform a way of "conceiving of happiness that could transcend my disability: happiness as a life lived well in and through its difficulties" (4). This inquiry, richly developed in the book, leads him not only to reflect on the historical and contemporary social reality of disability and its attendant duality, suffering and joy, but also to apply a hermeneutic of disability (and at times one of suspicion) on traditionally conceived theological and philosophical notions of the nature and practice of virtue, the attainment of happiness, and what it means to live a "good" life.

由:残废格雷斯:残疾,美德伦理,和美好的生活由肖恩·克利夫顿Maureen Pratt MTS, MFA(生物)残废格雷斯:残疾,美德伦理,和美好的生活。谢恩·克利夫顿著。韦科,德克萨斯州:贝勒大学出版社,2018。285页,44.99美元一页/ 42.74美元一页在我被诊断患有致残性狼疮几年后,一位基督徒朋友问我是否“已经过去了”。当我向他解释狼疮是一种无法治愈的慢性疾病时,我的朋友说:“你没有被治愈是因为你不够忠诚。”当我读到谢恩·克利夫顿的《残废的格蕾丝:残疾、美德伦理和美好生活》时,这一遭遇在我脑海中多次浮现,令人不安和沮丧地提醒我,一些对美德和健康的无情态度仍然根深蒂固。在这本深刻而发人深省的书中,克利夫顿反思了两个核心问题:基督教美德传统对残疾人的幸福(繁荣)的意义是什么?残疾本身是否提供了“我们应该如何理解繁荣的新见解?”(225)受过训练的神学家——“信奉基督教和自由主义(我指的是思想开明)”克利夫顿是悉尼大学健康科学学院残疾研究与政策中心的名誉副教授和教授。然而,也许比他的学术成就更重要的是,他成年后突然陷入个人残疾的生活经历,一次自行车事故使他四肢瘫痪。这段经历为克利夫顿的反思提供了不可或缺的、真实的(而且非常诚实的)背景,并与他在书中包含的其他叙述一起,将原本可能是一部超然的作品带入了与主题和读者之间引人注目的、私人的对话。克利夫顿承认,在事故发生之前,他没有读过任何关于残疾的书,这一评论或许并不令人惊讶;“在神学反思中,残疾是次要的”(151)。之后,他完全依赖他人的照料,“陷入了一种日益加深的不快乐”(4),他说他拿起了一本他在事故发生前就开始读的书:阿利斯泰尔·麦金泰尔的《依赖的理性动物》。在那里,他“在书页中发现了希望的火花”,并开始考虑基督教美德传统如何提供一种“超越我的残疾的幸福构想”的方式。(4)这种探究在书中得到了充分的发展,使他不仅反思了残疾的历史和当代社会现实及其伴随的二元性,痛苦和快乐,而且还将残疾的解释学(有时是怀疑的)应用于传统上认为的神学和哲学概念,即美德的本质和实践,幸福的实现,以及过“美好”生活意味着什么。在介绍了他的个人和职业故事以及对残疾这一“复杂”主题的处理方法之后,本可以单独成书的第三章提供了克利夫顿对基督教美德传统的反思,这些美德传统贯穿了亚里士多德、托马斯·阿奎那、希伯来圣经和新约。这些来源突出了残疾和残疾人在许多方面被边缘化,并表明传统倾向于支持将健全作为理想的“现状”。例如,亚里士多德认为“残疾人不可能获得真正的快乐”(57)。一个身体受限、依赖他人的人不能自由选择或实践有助于繁荣的美德。残疾人和正常人之间不可能有平等的友谊。“善良”的人不依赖他人,而残疾本质上需要依赖。克利夫顿指出,在希伯来圣经中,残疾在人物描述中无处不在,并被作者编织成文本的语言织布,尽管这“很少被圣经学者承认”(61)。例如,在申命记23:2中,毁容的人(残疾人)被排除在圣所之外,因为残疾被认为是不服从的结果或上帝惩罚的标志。此外,“诋毁性”的隐喻在整篇文章中随处可见(例如,“盲人在黑暗中摸索”)(61)。这些和其他文本对人们的影响……

By Shane Clifton. Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, 2018. 285 pp. $44.99 pbk/ $42.74 eb. A few years after my diagnosis of disabling lupus, a Christian friend asked if I was \"over it\" yet. When I explained that lupus is a chronic condition with no medical cure, my friend said, \"You're not cured because you're not faithful enough.\" This encounter, a discomforting and disheartening reminder of how entrenched some uncompassionate attitudes toward virtue and health still are, resurfaced in my mind several times as I read Shane Clifton's Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life. In this profound and provocative book, Clifton reflects on two central questions: what is the significance of the Christian virtue tradition for the happiness (flourishing) of people with disabilities, and might disability itself offer \"fresh insight into how we should understand flourishing?\" (225) A theologian by training—\"ecumenical and liberal (by which I mean open-minded in inclination)\" (3), Clifton is honorary associate and professor at the Centre of Disability Research and Policy in the faculty of health sciences at the University of Sydney. However, perhaps even more important than his academic bona fides is his lived experience as an adult abruptly thrust into personal disability through a bicycle accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. This experience provides indispensable, authentic (and very honest) context to Clifton's reflections and, with the other narratives he includes in the book, brings what might have otherwise been a detached work into compelling, personal conversation with the subject matter and the reader. Prior to his accident, Clifton admits he had read nothing about disability, a comment perhaps not surprising; \"disability is marginal to theological reflection\" (151). Afterward, totally inter/dependent on others for all his care and slipping \"into a deepening unhappiness\" (4), he describes picking up a book he had begun reading pre-accident: Alistair MacIntyre's Dependent Rational Animals. There, he \"discovered within its pages a spark of hope\" and began to consider how the Christian virtue tradition could inform a way of \"conceiving of happiness that could transcend my disability: happiness as a life lived well in and through its difficulties\" (4). This inquiry, richly developed in the book, leads him not only to reflect on the historical and contemporary social reality of disability and its attendant duality, suffering and joy, but also to apply a hermeneutic of disability (and at times one of suspicion) on traditionally conceived theological and philosophical notions of the nature and practice of virtue, the attainment of happiness, and what it means to live a \"good\" life.

Spiritus 23(2023):36–50©2023,约翰·霍普金斯大学出版社。礼拜聚会是基督教生活不可或缺的一部分,在天主教会中是其源头和顶峰。然而,俗人的出席率却低得惊人。对这一现象(疫情之前)不太可能有单一的解释,但教皇对这一精神问题最常见的回应之一是哀叹普遍存在的实际无神论或宗教冷漠。例如,教皇方济各说
