Poem of the Day 每日诗歌

Funeral Blues, with Context Clues
W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood

JAMES. Check!

RANSOM [looking for the first time towards the summit and seeing the FIGURE]. Look!

JAMES. Mate! I’ve won! [The FIGURE shakes its head.]

RANSOM [with his eyes still fixed upon it]. But was the victory real?

JAMES [half rising to his feet and tottering]. [In a choking voice.] It was not Virtue—it was not Knowledge—it was Power! [Collapses into his chair and falls forward over the chess table.]

CHORUS. What have you done? What have you done? You have killed, you have murdered her favourite son!

[A FIGURE having the shape of the ABBOT, wearing a monk’s habit and a judge’s wig, and holding the crystal in his hands, is illuminated at a somewhat higher level of the stage.]

ABBOT. I am truly sorry for this young man, but I must ask for the court to be cleared.

[The sound of a Blues is heard. Enter LORD STAGMANTLE and LADY ISABEL, followed by Monks with a stretcher. The chess table is removed. JAMES’S body is laid on the stretcher and carried in slow procession round the stage, disappearing into the darkness.]

STAGMANTLE and ISABEL [together].
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message: He is dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves.
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

Hold up your umbrellas to keep off the rain
From Doctor Williams while he opens a vein;
Life, he pronounces, it is finally extinct.
Sergeant, arrest that man who said he winked!

Shawcross will say a few words sad and kind
To the weeping crowds about the Master-Mind,
While Lamp with a powerful microscope
Searches their faces for a sign of hope.

And Gunn, of course, will drive the motor-hearse:
None could drive it better, most would drive it worse.
He’ll open up the throttle to its fullest power
And drive him to the grave at ninety miles an hour.

Michael Ransom (RANSOM): an experienced climber who leads a fatal expedition to the peak of F6 sponsored by the press and the government.
Sir James Ransom (JAMES): the twin brother of Michael Ransom, also the Foreign Secretary, who proposed the expedition and supposedly dies in this scene.

Michael Ransom (RANSOM)：一名经验丰富的登山者。他在新闻界和政府的赞助下，带领团队前往 F6 峰，踏上致命的探险。
Sir James Ransom (JAMES)：Michael 的双胞胎兄弟，外交大臣。他提出了这场探险。在本段中，他 “去世” 了，《葬礼蓝调》讽刺他的 “死亡”。

This excerpt, taken from the final scene of the play The Ascent of F6, illustrates a hallucination in which a game of chess is played between Michael and James. At the end of this imaginary game, James dies, and the poem "Funeral Blues" is introduced. The last three stanzas are later replaced in the more popular version. The names mentioned in the last three stanzas are characters who have already sacrificed their lives for this meaningless imperialist expedition proposed by Sir James Ransom himself. In reality, instead of Sir James Ransom, Michael Ransom will soon join the list as he approaches the summit and the destined death.

Hope your M1 scores improve at ninety miles an hour!

本段选自戏剧《攀登 F6 高峰》的最后一幕，描绘了 Michael 和 James 下棋时产生的幻觉。在这场想象中的对弈结束后，James “去世”，诗歌《葬礼蓝调》由此问世。最后三节在现在脍炙人口的版本中被删去；这三节中提到的名字都是先前已经为 James 计划的这场帝国主义远征白白献出生命的人物。实际上，远在伦敦的 James 并未见到快到山顶的 Michael，Michael 却很快将走向注定的死亡。

不过，希望各位的 M1 成绩以 90 英里每小时的速度增长！

Photo of the Day 每日照片

On this day in 1861, the famous arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen was born (see "On This Day" section). He won international fame after reaching a record northern latitude of 86°14′ during his Fram expedition of 1893–1896. Roald Amundsen was on this expedition. On May 12th 1926, Amundsen took off from the tower pictured in this photo in the airship Norge. This trip made him and 15 other men in the airship the first explorers verified to have reached the North Pole. The legacies of Nansen and Amundsen remain till today.

1861 年的这一天，著名的北极探险家弗里德约夫·南森出生（见 "以史为鉴"）。他在 1893-1896 年的 Flam 探险中到达了创纪录的北纬 86°14′，从而赢得国际声誉。罗尔德·阿蒙森也参加了这次探险。1926 年 5 月 12 日，阿蒙森乘坐 Norge 飞艇从照片中的铁塔旁起飞。这次旅行使他和飞艇上的其他 15 人成为第一批被证实到达北极点的探险家。南森和阿蒙森的传奇故事一直流传至今。

Note: WHO recognizes the diversity of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (T&CM) practices across countries of the world and its contribution to health, well-being, people-centred health care and universal health coverage. However, an evidence-based approach is crucial; even if traditional medicines are derived from longstanding practice and are natural, establishing their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials is critical. Any T&CM product or therapy should follow strict protocol and be subjected to tests and clinical trials for quality, efficacy and patient safety. Learn more from WHO.

提示：世卫组织认识到世界各国传统医学、补充医学和综合医学的多样性及其对健康、福祉、以人为本的卫生保健和全民健康覆盖的贡献。不过，循证方法至关重要；即使传统药物来自长期实践并且是天然材料，通过严格的临床试验确定其有效性和安全性仍至关重要。任何传统医学产品或疗法均应遵循严格的规程，并接受质量、疗效和患者安全临床试验。从世卫组织了解更多。

Article Recommendation of the Week 杂志文章简评

Virtual Tourism: Speculation Concept or Future of Tourism

When it comes to the hottest concept in recent years, the "metaverse" must be the first choice. No matter how the concept of the metaverse will develop and be applied in various aspects in the future, during the pandemic, it seems that some passengers have already boarded the train of the metaverse, opening the prelude to virtual tourism. Virtual tourism can both be unrestricted by region and "travel through time and space". If you achieve the ultimate sense of realism and liveliness, will you come for a virtual tourism?

Since the COVID-19 spread around the world, the tourism industry has been considered as one of the most seriously affected industries. According to the 2022 Tourism Economic Impact Report released by the World Tourism Council, the tourism industry lost 62 million jobs in 2020, leaving only 271 million people employed and losing nearly $4.9 trillion. Its contribution to global GDP decreased by 50.4% year-on-year, and the global economy decreased by 3.3%.

From some perspectives, with the advancement of technology, virtual tourism seems to have great potential for development. For example, the game "Assassin's Creed" uses high-precision city restoration, allowing many people to enjoy many city landscapes around the world in addition to the game, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. The German National Tourism Administration has launched many immersive VR tourism projects, incorporating VR technology into the Baltic Coast, Neuschwanburg, and Heidelberg Palace. A restaurant called "First Route" in Tokyo, Japan, focuses on the concept of virtual tourism, with "aerial travel on the ground" as the selling point. Sitting in a huge flight simulation cabin, guests can experience the scenes of airplane takeoff, high-altitude flight, landing, and encountering turbulence in the airflow. In just 20 minutes, guests can immerse themselves in the scenery and local customs of their chosen destination. South Korea, Ireland, Japan, Italy and other countries have also moved some tourist attractions online to maintain the popularity of the scenic area, providing one-on-one communication with the audience and giving participants a more immersive feeling.

In order to address the development, breakthroughs, and innovation of traditional tourism in the post-pandemic era, this combination of virtual and real "tourism" approach may be a good option, as it allows us to:

1. Remote visit to scenic spots, through virtual reality technology, users can remotely visit scenic spots, historical sites, natural landscapes, etc. as if they were in person.
2. Cultural experience, users can learn about the cultures, traditions, and customs of different regions in a virtual environment, thereby enriching their horizons.
3. Historical Reviewing: Through virtual tourism, users can revisit historical events and times, such as exploring ancient cities and historical sites.

However, virtuality is ultimately virtual, and the lack of presence and different themes create an insurmountable gap between reality and virtuality. Indulging in the virtual world can disconnect people from real social interactions and deprive them of opportunities to communicate with real society. While affecting their physical health, it can also have an impact on the traditional tourism industry and its related industry chains, such as catering, transportation, entertainment, accommodation, etc.

Although experiencing tourism in a digital way can solve the problems of distance and cost, the sense of experience has always been the core concern of everyone. If virtual tourism VR, as an emerging technology, can become a supplement rather than a substitute for traditional tourism, it is a form of cooperation rather than opposition. The two integrate to create a better tourism environment, bringing tourists a comprehensive and multi-perspective immersive experience.

Benvenuto Cellini: Artist of the Week 每周艺术家

Cellini was a Florentine goldsmith, sculptor, and writer. His career flourished after the creative climax of the High Renaissance and like many others of his time, Cellini followed the style of Mannerism, which focused not on naturalism but on radical artistic dramatization. His most famous works include Perseus with the Head of Medusa, a more than five-meter-tall sculpture made of sleek bronze; the Saliera, or the Cellini Salt Cellar (pictured), a tabletop sculpture made of delicate hammered gold, partly used to store condiments for the French King.

Perhaps more theatrical than his extravagant artworks is Cellini’s personal life. In his succinctly titled autobiography My Life, the artist writes passionately and fantastically about the spectacles of 16^th century Italy. It tells tales occurring in his native Florence, to stories about the courts of Rome and France, where he fled to after murdering his rival. He would later kill at least two more civilians, though never served his sentence due to his excellent art serving the pope, various noblemen, and Francis I, only being imprisoned due to charges of homosexuality. Though his autobiography is infused with egotistical boasts and falsities, it does offer us an exciting glimpse into the violent realities of Renaissance life and the psyche of a violent man who survived it.

Cloud-Native Nomadic: Exhibition of the Week 每周展览

• Date: 2023-07-28 – 2023-10-19
• Location: HOW Museum

Featuring five series of works from Wu Ziyang, Cloud-Native Nomadic reflect upon the existing biases and communities of the internet and explores the now and future of the digital age through a series of interactive works. Here, the artwork is a tool of analysis that magnifies, investigates, and becomes a reflection of the everyday back-and-forth interactions that each individual has with the information that they consume.
