Thomas Eliot
"Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important."
.
"Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major poets, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a prominent Boston Brahmin family, he moved to England in 1914 at the age of 25 and went on to settle, work, and marry there. He became a British citizen in 1927 at the age of 39 and renounced his American citizenship. Eliot first attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1915, which, at the time of its publication, was considered outlandish. It was followed by The Waste Land, "The Hollow Men", "Ash Wednesday", and Four Quartets. He was also known for seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party. He was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry"."

懷念法國朋友Jean-Marie Gogue 並記他引Simone Weil的話
Simone Weil(1909-43)。
「桑塔格是近世少數的自由身知識分子。她之前的著名例子包括十九世紀末的尼采,二次大戰期間的班雅明。他們都一生潦倒,也許桑塔格最心儀的是為理想殉道的法國女作家西蒙.威爾(Simone Weil)——威爾甚至到工廠打工以認同無產階級!」(陳耀成『不滅的悲憫:懷蘇珊.桑塔格 --- 』 自由時報,2005/1/11)
Simone Weil, an article in The New York Review of Books by Susan Sontag.
「接到法國朋友Jean-Marie的新年賀卡才知道: bonne annee。不過賀卡的圖無法言說。」法國朋友Jean- Marie 曾經為(Juran) Quality Control Handbook(1988)寫了 一章 Quality in France (35C /共九頁),在結語引Simone Weil的話:注意,此版約是寫作的30年之後......
…"In 1936, the philosopher Simone Weil predicted " by aiming at increasing production, the employers weakened their ascendancy over labor. But what was lost on this side we shall recover by noble motives, such as professional pride, fondness for work, interest in achieving one's task, sense of responsibility." (Weil, La Condition Ouvriére, 1964, p.281)
我今天才知道這本書叫『工人之情況』(1964 第二版)。

「這位年輕的女士曾被描寫為「像聖徒般, 是這個疏離世代的局外人,是仁慈的聖者」。 薇依於1909年二月三日誕生在巴黎一個富裕的猶太家庭中。 1931年,畢業於巴黎高等師範學院後,即任哲學教師。 自畢業日起,薇依不僅免費教導鐵路局的、礦區的、農場的勞工, 也從微薄的薪資中捐獻出極大的部份,幫助他們解決困境。 1934年,薇依更暫離教職, 以一年的時間投入雷諾汽車廠的勞工行列, 為要親身經驗當地勞工的艱苦生活。又經過一段時間的教職, 1937年,薇依離開巴黎,投身無政府主義,參與了西班牙內戰。 他為了幫助窮人,一方面為左派份子的雜誌寫文章, 一方面定期地從事徒手勞動,而不因自己的社會地位、 為自己的教育、為自己的健康,要求或接受特權。經歷神的同在。
1941年六月,薇依結識了派瑞神父(Reverend J.M. Perrin)及葛思泰夫(Gustave Thibon,天主教作家),二人給了她深邃的影響。 1938年,她曾經歷了一次不可思議的經驗,她寫道「基督降臨, 臨到我」。在寫給派瑞神父的信中,她也述及了這個經驗, 這個令她苦惱的回憶。 似乎就是這個費解的經歷激發了她持續地從事屬靈探索。 1942年五月,法國淪陷,因著維琪政府的反猶太主義, 薇依和家人逃到美國。十一月,應自由英國政府之請, 前往倫敦為其工作。在英期間,健康日差,但仍拒絕德軍佔領下, 超過當局所規定之外的食物, 終於1943年8月24日卒於營養不良和肺結核併發症。
薇依最著名的著作為《等候上帝》(Waiting for God),內容為寫給派瑞神父的信件和短篇論文。 其他許多作品亦有法文及英譯的版本,包括《莊嚴與恩惠》(La pesanteur et lagrace,1948;Gravity and Grace,1952)、(L'Enracinement, 1949)、《根之必要》(The Need for Roots,1952 中文 扎根:人類責任宣言緒論 北京三聯 2003 hc補)、(Cahiers,1951、 1953、1956)《Weil的筆記》(The Notebooks of Simone Weil,1956)。……」
