CALL FOR WRITERS

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”  ~Franz Kafka

Irish Writer Maurice Manning Reads “Field Hospital” In Memory of Taiwanese writer Chung Chao-Cheng

愛爾蘭國立大學總校長墨利斯‧曼寧---- Maurice Manning, Irish Writer, Chancellor of the National University of Ireland----

「這是一個非常令人悲傷的情況

This is a very sad occasion

我們要悼念一位偉大作家的辭世

For we mourn the passing of a great writer

但我們可以確定的是,他作品的價值與美學

But we all know one thing for sure, the quality of his writing and beauty

會讓他永遠都被懷念

Will insure that he will be remembered for very long time

我有幸在愛爾蘭仍能透過管道得知他的偉大成就

I am pleased, from Ireland, to be able, in a small way, to acknowledge his greatness

在此我以愛爾蘭的方式

May I say as we say in Ireland

願他安息 May he rest in peace
