Chapter 9 Everything Is Happening Cream Button

Everything Happens Creamy Button (1) Joyce, are you the inventor of this sport or game? Charla No, I'm not. What was the name of Joyce's inventor?Chalaalp. Joyce's degree of intimacy indicates concern and friendliness among equal individuals. What degree of intimacy do you use to talk about him? Charla my friend Alp. What should Joyce be called in a colloquial form that conjures up images of virtue and longevity? Charla good old Alp. Who did Joyce Arp get encouragement and friendship from? Charla Hugo Barr. Joyce Please describe Barr in descriptive terms. Chara is not a ball.Tall, thin, priestly, German.

① Barr's original text is "Ball", which means "ball".Therefore, I specifically declare that he is not the ball--Annotation.Joyce described him by listing his profession and hobbies. Chara novelist, journalist, philosopher, poet, artist, mystic, pacifist, founder of the Voltaire Bar at Melmer's Restaurant, 1 Mirror Street. Does Joyce Barr keep a diary? Chara writes. Was Joyce's diary published? Chara published. Joyce: Did it outlast the term of copyright under the Berne Convention of 1886 and become public property? Chara hasn't. Please, Joyce, quote selectively from Barr's diary without offending his executors.

Chara "I went to the owner of Melmery's and told him I wanted to open a nightclub. That same evening, Chara recited a few poems, in a conservative style, and he took them out of his coat pockets. The poems that come out look very cute." Joyce is a coat? Charla yes.Joyce Since coats and hats are interchangeable in producing poetry, in what respects are coats superior to hats, and what respects hats superior to coats? A hat is preferable to a coat when one or both of the coat sleeves hang down so that the wearer may fall from the podium.And coat pockets are superior in number to hats.

Joyce would be wary of elaborating further with a passage from the diary of any contemporary diarist—if his estate has not been depleted by endless lawsuits over petty copyright infringements. Chara" On February 26th, Richard Hulsenbeck came here from Berlin, and on March 30th Mr. Tristan Chara was the initiator of the reading, which was the first in Zurich and the world. A recital of Synchronist poetry, including a Synchronist poem of his own composition." ①Richard Schulsenbeck (1892-1974), one of the founders of Dadaism, a psychiatrist and poet from Berlin--Annotation. ②Synchronism, an art form belonging to Cubism and Futurism, was popular in France before the First World War, trying to achieve the sound and image synchronization effect of text--Annotation.

③The original text is French--annotation. ④The original text is German--annotation. ⑤ Janko (1895-1984), a Romanian-Israeli painter, studied architecture in Zurich from 1915 to 1916 and became an important member of the Dadaist group - Annotation.Joyce quotes separately what is in your memory and is read aloud at the same time. Charla I began: "Boom boom boom when the wet frog started to scorch he shed its hide." ③ Hulsenbeck began: "Aho! Aho! The admiral's trousers soon Torn apart." ④ Yanko ⑤ intoned: "I can hear the whipping of the will around the hills, and at five o'clock when tea is set I like to drink tea with a dark-haired woman, everyone is doing it, doing it. "The title of the poem is "The Admiral's Rent-seeking House."

(All this time Joyce was removing the papers from his hair and clothes and putting them back in the hat that lay on his lap. Casually, he conjured General conjures up a white carnation--of those papers, apparently. He turns the hat over to show it's empty. He throws the carnation to Chara.) How would you describe this victory, Joyce? Chara (inserting a carnation into his buttonhole) is just and proper.Well deserved.A case where aggressiveness and charisma get their due recognition. (Joyce starts pulling the silk handkerchief out of the hat.) ①Joyce also mentioned in Chapter 16 the use of reciprocal forms to succinctly express: "If you use the simplest reciprocal form to express briefly, what would it look like?"--Annotation.

② Duchamp (1887-1968), French painter, representative of Dada, naturalized in the United States in 1955 - Annotation. ③ Satie (1866-1925) French composer, pioneer of surrealism. ④ Marinetti (1876-1944) Italian writer, founder of Futurism. ⑤ Mayakovsky (1893-1930), Russian poet, important figure in Russian futurism.Joyce Please state, in the simplest reciprocal form①, what is Challa's thinking about Barr's thinking about Barr's thinking, and what is Chara's thinking about Barr's thinking about Barr's thinking about Barr's thinking idea? Chara he thought he thought he knew what he was thinking and he knew he knew he knew he didn't know.

Does Joyce know? Chara he knew and he didn't. Everything Happens Creamy Button (2) Joyce Dadaism brought to fine art, sculpture, poetry, and music what these activities had never done before, in… (He then draws a corresponding flag from his hat for each word he utters.) ...Barcelona, ​​New York, Paris, Rome, and St. Petersburg, by—for example, Picabia, Duchamp, Satie, Marinetti, and Mayakovsky, the latter in a yellow sports jacket, With blue roses painted on cheeks--Crying out his broken lines? The word charadada. Joyce, please describe reasonably how the word Dada was discovered, do not contradict yourself, and take special care not to refer to those who stuffed rolls up to their noses.

Chara Tristan Chara came across the word Dada in a Larousse dictionary by chance.It is said that he did not deny that he inserted a paper knife into the dictionary at random.Hulsenbeck recounted how he discovered the word in Hugo Barr's dictionary, when Chara was not there that day.However, Hans Arp stated: "I hereby announce that Tristan Tzara discovered the word Dada on February 8, 1916 at 6 pm." Is there further feud between Joyce Chara and Hulsen Baker? Chara has.Joyce about what? Chala on the meaning and purpose of Dada. What is Joyce Hulsenbeck asking for, say? International Revolutionary League of All Artists based on Chara's radical communism.

Joyce and Chara's demands are just the opposite? Chala Chala's request is the right to pee in different colors. Joyce Does everyone pee different colors at different times, or do different people pee different colors at all times?Or does everyone piss more than one color every time? It would be clearer if Chara said this: Poetry should be as natural as pissing-- JOYCE (rising, the trick is over) For heaven's sake don't mix those two things in one hat. ① Parodying a joke in the first chapter: "For God's sake, don't put those two kinds of water in one pot."--Annotation.

②The battlefield of the famous World War I was in Belgium - Annotation. (Chara can't take it anymore.) Charla for God's sake!You arrogant Irish disguster!You four-eyed ignorant swamp folk, potato-eating pimp!Your art has failed.You have turned literature into a religion, which is dead like all other religions, a rotting corpse, and you dance at a funeral.There is no room for genius!Now we need barbarians and blasphemers, simple-minded demolishers, to destroy centuries of baroque refinement, to tear down temples, so that at last the shame of being an artist can be reconciled with the necessity!Dada!Dada!Dada! (He begins to smash whatever china is available and when he is done he strikes a pose of contentment. Joyce does not move.) Joyce, you are an overexcited little man whose needs for self-expression far outstrip your natural abilities.There's no shame in that.But it doesn't make you an artist either.An artist is a magician among the crowd, using various techniques to satisfy people's strong desire for immortality.Around him, from Troy to the fields of Flanders.Temples are built and pulled down, and if there is any meaning in that, it is in what survives as art, yes, even if that art glorifies tyrants, yes, even if that art glorifies Nothing.If the Trojan War had been missed by the artist's pen, what is it today?Ashes to ashes.A long-forgotten expedition by Greek merchants in search of new markets.A small redistribution of broken jars①.But we are rich because of it, because of the stories of heroes, of a golden apple, of a wooden horse, of a face that sent a thousand sails to a race—especially of Ulysses, the wanderer, of all heroes The most human, most well-rounded man -- he was husband, father, son, lover, farmer, soldier, pacifist, statesman, inventor and adventurer... The subject is so overwhelming I hardly dare touch it touch it.But, with my Dublin Odyssey, I'll double that immortality, yes, God behold, a zombie that'll come out and dance a little while longer, without making the world an iota Change - If you want to put your hipster magic back in the grave, I strongly recommend that you try to get some flair, and if possible, some sharpness, before social season is over.Good morning, Mr. Chala! ① There were wars between countries, and some utensils were left in other countries. These broken jars later became cultural relics--Annotation. ②Refers to Homer's "Odyssey", which is very old and considered to be like a zombie.But Joyce's version of The Odyssey, that is, will give it new life, though nothing permanent or valuable. ③Carl is practicing the lines of Oscar Wilde's "The important thing is to be serious".Lenin also repeated this sentence later--Annotation. ④Wilde's play is called The Importance of Being Earnest, old Carl has a bad memory, and what he muttered is The Imprudence of Being--(inadvertently--)--annotation. (As Joyce conjures a rabbit out of his hat, he puts the hat on his head and leaves with the rabbit. The audience hears Carl's voice offstage. ) Carl (voice from offstage) "Seriously, what good is the underclass if they don't set a good example for us? They seem to be a class with no sense of moral responsibility."③ (Charla has come to Carl's door. He opens it and walks in.) (Voice from off stage) "How are you, Ren Zhen dear. What brought you to town?"--"Merry-making, merry-making--I see you, Aggie, delicious As always..." (Now Carl Sr. enters with a book in his hand.) Everything Happens Creamy Button (3) Aggie!Another protagonist.Successfully played the difficult role of Algernon Moncrieff.At the Merchant Theater on Pelican Street, one spring evening, the English Entrepreneurs presented the jewel of the English play, "Accidentally Is --"—I forget what it's called now.Author Oscar Wilde.Henry Carr as Algernon.Other roles were played by Tristan Rosen, Cecil Palmer, Ethel Turner, Evelyn Cotton... don't worry about the rest.Five francs a ticket, four shillings a seat, every seat was filled, must have made a fortune for that Irishman and his cronies--but no one complained, after all these years, no heart Resentful, and he lay quietly in the cemetery on the hill, although it was disheartening to fight a few lawsuits for a few francs--after I paid for the trousers myself and made every seat in the theater When it's full - give me ten francs as a tip!I'm not going to be very happy--then ask me for twenty francs--that's shameless--look, I'll take it out-- (Takes a battered document from his pocket.) --Zurich District Court, concerning Dr. James Joyce --Cure My Eyes --Plaintiff and Counter-Plaintiff, to Henry Carr, Defendant and Counter-Plaintiff, concerning the settlement of: (a) Proceedings: Are the defendant and the counter-plaintiff (that is me) obliged to pay the plaintiff and the counter-defendant (that is him) twenty-five francs? (b) Countersuit: Are plaintiff and counter-defendant liable to pay defendant and counter-plaintiff three hundred francs?do you understand?Joyce said I owed him twenty-five francs for the ticket.I said Joyce owed me three hundred francs for trousers and all, and I was playing Henry--if not--damn it! --another…… By the way, as you may or may not have noticed, I get a little confused from time to time, you know what it's like to get stuck in a rut with an old mind, and before you know where you're going, you're digressing , suddenly you think, no, hang on, old man, that's Algernon--Algernon!OK -- now it's all back, I've figured it out, and it won't go wrong from now on.In fact, anyone who sticks with this just as a cheap comedy that's old-fashioned and funny probably will, because now I'm going to talk about how I met Lenin and how it could have changed the course of history Wait, what is this? ? (pointing to the document) Oh, yes. It was therefore decided as follows: The defendant Henry Carr must pay the plaintiff James Joyce twenty-five francs.Henry Carr's countersuit was denied.Henry Karl will pay Dr. Joyce sixty francs for the incident and its costs.In other words, a mockery of justice.Then another case was brought to court - oh yes, he sued me for defamation, claiming I called him a liar, a scoundrel... Naturally thrown out of court.But what Joyce wanted was money.Well, that was a long time ago.He left Zurich after the war for Paris, where he lived for twenty years and was reappeared here in December 1940.Another war...but by then he was already sick with perforated ulcers and died in January...buried in Frutten Cemetery on the hill on a cold snowy day. ①Cross-examination means that one party to the litigation cross-examines the testimony provided by the opposing witness in order to find contradictions and overturn his testimony--Annotation.I dreamed of him, dreamed that I put him on the witness stand, did a clever cross-examination, actually won the case, admitted it all, the whole thing, the pants, everything.I ridiculed him--"What did you do in World War I?" He said: "I wrote it." "What did you do?" What a guts. (Lights off) Scene 2 library In addition to bookshelves and other things, the display of the library also includes Cecily's desk, which may be more like a counter, with three sides surrounded by walls to form a square. Cecily continued. The war trapped Lenin and his wife in Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.After a brief detention, they came to Switzerland and settled in Bern. In 1916 Lenin came to Zurich in need of a better library than the one in Berne... (The library set is now illuminated.) ... had planned to stay for two weeks, but he and Nadya liked the place and decided to stay.They rented one in the house of a shoemaker named Carmel at 14 Mirror Street.Zurich during the war was a magnet for refugees, exiles, spies, anarchists, artists and radicals of all kinds.James Joyce can be seen here, revising that novel, which is now known all over the world, to make it a permanent monument to himself! --there are also the Dadaists, who perform every night in the Voltaire Bar of the Melmer Restaurant at No. 1 Mirror Street, led by a dark, boyish, unknown Romanian poet... (The audience sees Joyce walking among the bookshelves; so does Carl, wearing a monocle, blazer, beige flannel sweatpants, and straw hat . . . Scissors, he cuts thoughtfully as he walks among the bookshelves. Joyce and Carl step out of view of the audience.) Lenin was there every morning when the library opened at nine o'clock. (Lenin arrives and says "good morning" in Russian: "Zdrasvuitiye".) He would work until the library closed at noon, then go home and work until six, except on Thursdays when we were closed.He is writing his book on imperialism. (Lenin works with his head buried in books and manuscript paper.) On January 22, 1917, Lenin told a young audience at the Volkhall in Zurich, "We of the older generation may not see the coming revolutionary Armageddon." We were all convinced of that.But in less than a month, the Polish comrade Bronski ran into Ulyanov's house one day and announced the news: there was a revolution in Russia... (Nadya comes on stage as in the prologue, and she and Lenin repeat the previous conversation in Russian. This time Cecily translates for the audience. She repeats every line of dialogue in English pedantically, including the simplest" No!" and "Yes!" and the Lenins leave. Nadya says "Dasvedanya", or "goodbye", to Cecily as she leaves.) Nadya wrote in her "Memoirs of Lenin", "From the moment the news of the February Revolution came, Ilyich was anxious to go back to Russia." But it is easier said than done, in such an environment land country.Russia is at war with Germany.And Lenin was a thorn in the side of the Allies.His tactics of war posed a real threat to them; (Carl enters, looking breezy and breezy in his blazer, sweatpants, etc. Carl came to the library as a "spy," as evidenced by his demeanor until Cecily speaks to him.) Indeed, both the British and the French clearly hoped to prevent Lenin from leaving Switzerland and had him spied on.oh! (Cecily sees Carl, who hands Cecily the business card he got from Bennett in Act 1.) Cecily Tristan Chara.Dada, Dada, Dada... Wow, it's Jack's younger brother! ! Karl you must be Cecily! Cecily boo--! Carl is you! Cecily From your business card, you are Jack's younger brother, a decadent nihilist. Karl Oh, Cecily, I'm not really a decadent nihilist at all.You must not think that I am a decadent nihilist. Cecily, if you're not, you must have been lying to us, it's inexcusable.To pretend to be a decadent nihilist—or, to put it another way, to think from a different standpoint and to exhibit the results of this reflection on Benhofstrasse—is hypocrisy. ①The original text is ruminateindifferentcolours. The word ruminate has a similar pronunciation to urinate. Color means "color" as well as "position". Earlier, Chara advocated that "you can urinate in different colors". Here is a response to his statement -- Annotation. ②In the original text, the three words aardvark (African anteater), abacus (planner), and abstractart (abstract art) are arranged in alphabetical order--annotation.Carl (surprised) Oh!I have, of course, been misbehaving and reckless. Everything Happens Creamy Button (4) Cecily I'm glad to hear that. Karl Honestly, now that you bring it up, I'm pretty good at scorning morality in the pursuit of sensual pleasures. Cecily, I don't think it deserves your complacency, however pleasant it may be.You let your brother down very, very much. Carl Oh, my brother was very, very disappointed as well, and Dadaism was very disappointed with him.His mother didn't like him very much either.My brother Jack is an idiot, and if you want to know why he is an idiot, I will tell you why he is an idiot.He told me you were beautiful, but the truth is, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were the most beautiful girl in the world.Do you have any books here that I can borrow? Cecily, I don't think you should talk to me like that during library hours.However, the reading room is about to close at noon, so I will not pursue it.Curiosity for knowledge is uncommon now, and it is unbearable to be shocked. What type of book do you want? Carl can be anything. Cecily Don't you have a range of interests? Carl I am looking to broaden my interests.After an overly ordered education, I acquired as much knowledge as I could of the African anteater, the art of abacus, and the art of abstract art.By the way, the African anteater is a type of African pig that's mostly found in-- Cecily I know all too well what an African anteater is, Mr Chala.To be honest, you and I have a close relationship. ①Anarchism (anarchism), in alphabetical order is also very high--annotation. ②Bolshevism (Bolshevism) starts with B.And Zimmervaldism (Zimmervaldism) starts with Z, which is very late in alphabetical order, so Cecily is very proud--Annotation. ③ It can be seen that Karl is a very inexperienced spy, or he was so distracted after meeting Cecily that he forgot the purpose of his trip for a while: to find out about Lenin's whereabouts.He heard Cecily's words "preparing references for Lenin" (preparing references for Lenin) as "preparing references for Lenin" (reference also has this meaning), thinking that Lenin was the name of a governess.Then he came to his senses, and this time he was acting too explicit - Annotation. ④Switzerland is a landlocked country with no ports.It shows the fatuousness of the British government--Annotation. ⑤The original text is: DriveemWilde (drive them into Wilde), which has the same pronunciation as DriveemWild (drive them crazy)-annotation.Karl In terms of politics, I actually stay in anarchism①. Cecily I understand.And your brother-- Karl Bolshevism.What about you, I think...? Cecily Zimmerwaldism ②! Carl Oh, Cecily, would you take on the mission of reforming me?We can start at lunch.That would whet my appetite.Nothing whets my appetite quite like renunciating my faith over a glass of white wine. Cecily I'm afraid I'm too busy today to reform you.I had to use my lunch time to prepare materials for Lenin. Karl's faithful governess looking for a new job? Not Cecily!I'm talking about Vladimir Ilyich, he's writing a book called "Imperialism - the Highest Stage of Capitalism" and I'm helping him out. Karl, of course - Lenin.But now that the revolution broke out in St. Petersburg, he must be anxious to return home. Cecily did.When the history of revolutions -- any history, in fact -- is being written, Switzerland is unlikely to feature prominently in the story.But all passages are closed to him.If he wanted to leave, he had to disguise himself and use false documents.Oh, I'm afraid I've said too much.Vladimir was convinced that spies were watching him, trying to curry favor with those close to him.The British were the most determined of them all, but also the least able.Just yesterday, the ambassador received secret instructions to monitor the port. Carl (ashamedly) Port ④? Cecily At the same time, the consulate in Zurich also received an urgent confidential telegram, asking them to take action at all costs—"knock them unconscious"—"drive them crazy⑤"—"break a leg①"—and One was from the ambassador himself, "Picture yourself tonight, Hollus." ①A traditional way of expressing a wish to an actor for good luck.This is a superstitious practice in British theater.Because they think that wishing the performance a success before the performance will provoke the gods and bring bad luck, so they adopt the form of saying irony - Annotation. ②Horace Rumbold (Horace Rumbold) was the British minister in Bern, Switzerland at the time, and Joyce satirized him severely in the book - Annotation.Karl I think this I can explain that.The Consulate has been busy with rehearsals for weeks, culminating in his performance last night at the Merchant Theater in Pelican Street.I happened to be there. Cecily that certainly explains why he practically left the affairs of the consulate to his valet, who, fortunately, was sympathetic to the radical movement. Carl omg. Cecily, you seem surprised. Carl not at all.I have a servant myself. Cecily I'm afraid I object to having servants. Karl you are very right to do this.Most of them are shameless. No one will have Cecily in the future socialist society. Carl I think so too.To whom did the footman give the consul's letter? Cecily your brother Jack.Oh my gosh, look, I'm going to say it again!You are nothing like your brother.You are more of an Englishman. Karl I assure you I am as Bulgarian as he is. Cecily he is Romanian. Carl is the same place.Some people go by this name, some people go by that name. Cecily I don't know that, but I've always suspected that's the case. Everything Happens Creamy Button (5) Karl, now that Seriously has begun, the Consul will certainly relieve his servant of foreign affairs.In all fairness, he did succeed in playing a difficult role. Cecily "Serious"? ? Carl no--was the other one. Cecily, what do you mean by "serious"? What Matters is Seriousness by Carl Oscar Wilde. Cecily Wilde?Karl do you know him? Unbeknownst to Cecily, I had only read up to G in literature.But I've heard of him, and I don't like him.Life is art, Vladimir Ilyich always said so. Carl Cecily, art is long, life is short ②. ①Wilde's initial letter is W, which ranks after G in the alphabetical arrangement--annotation. ②The original text is French.What Karl meant was that art lasts longer and life is short.Cecily heard it: Wilde was good at art, but his life style was his weakness.Thought Karl was alluding to Wilde's homosexuality - Annotation. ③The original text is "overdressedfromhabittoboot", habit here means "habit", but it also means "clothes", toboot here means "besides", but boot also means "boots", Sisi What Li said took the former meaning of the two words, but Karl heard the latter meaning, so he was puzzled as follows.Cecily also followed his meaning and played a pun-annotation.Mr. Cecily Chara, let the learned and eloquent talk about his idiosyncrasies with dignity and veil.What I have just said is that Oscar Wilde was a bourgeois individualist, and, I have been told, he had a habit of overdressing. Karl from clothes to boots? Cecily And from boots to clothes. Carl may be dressier at times, but he makes up for it in his total freedom. The only duty and rationality of Cecily's art is to criticize society. Carl Cecily, this is the most interesting point about art's sole function and rationality, but it has the disadvantage that many of the things we call art do not have such a function, but still satisfy people's certain needs. There is a hunger and thirst shared by princes and nobles and common people alike. Mr. Cecily Chara, in an age when the distinction between princes and commoners is considered fatal, art is naturally affirmative to the one and consolation to the other; but we live in a society where the order of things is considered The age of the consequences of power, and we have been given a new kind of responsibility, that is, the responsibility to change society. Carl No, no, no, no, no--my dear girl! -- Art does not change society, but is changed by society. (From here, the debate intensifies.) Cecily Art is either a criticism of society or it is nothing! Karl, do you know Gilbert and Sullivan? ? !Cecily I know Gilbert but not Sullivan. Carl Well, if you're as familiar with Iolanci as I am -- Cecily, I suspect-- Carl "Patience"! How dare you, Cecily! Karl! "Pinafer"! Cecily, don't be too presumptuous! Carl "Rudigor"! Mr. Cecily Challa, this is the public library! Carl's "Gondola Boatman" ①, lady! ①The above are all operas by Gilbert and Sullivan-Annotation. ② Kautsky (1854-1938), one of the leaders of the German Social Democratic Party and the Second International - Annotation. ③ Ramsay Macdonald (1866-1937), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1924; 1929-1931; 1931-1935), member of the Fabian Society, leader of the Labor Party (1911-1914), served twice as Prime Minister of the Labor Party government, and the Soviet Union Established diplomatic relations (1924), and later formed the National Labor Party, and served as Prime Minister of the coalition cabinet supported by the Conservative Party (1931-1935) - translation annotation. (Another "time misalignment"...) Cecily, I don't think you should talk to me like that during library hours.However, the reading room is about to close at noon, so I will not pursue it.Curiosity for knowledge is uncommon now, and it is unbearable to be shocked. What type of book do you want? Carl can be anything.You choose.I want you to take on the mission of transforming me, if you will.We can start at lunch. Cecily I'm afraid I'm too busy today to reform you.You have to transform yourself.This is an article I translated for Vladimir Ilyich.You may not have noticed, Mr Challa, that ten ministers in Western European governments today are socialists. Karl I must admit that my job has kept me from being interested in European politics.But ten is of course an astonishing number. What a disgrace to Cecily.They are supporting an imperialist war.At the same time, the real struggle, the class struggle, is being undermined by revisionists like Kautsky and MacDonald. CARL (confused) Cecily, are you talking about Ramsay MacDonald?Mr. Cecily Challa, I am not speaking of Flora MacDonald. ①Flora Macdonald (1722-1790), a Scottish hero, was arrested by the English and imprisoned in the Tower of London for assisting the pretender Charles Edward to flee in disguise after the defeat. ②Pink (pink beeping), puke (vomiting), and prig (arrogant) alliterate—annotation. ③Samara, the old name of Kuibyshev, a city in the middle reaches of the Volga River in Russia—annotation. ④The original text is Kantstruck, which is homonymous with can struck, and the latter word implies "sexual impotence"--annotation.Karl, but he was a Bolshevik through and through. Cecily, he works for the bourgeois capitalist system, delaying its destruction.Karl Marx has long demonstrated that capitalism is digging its own grave. Everything Happens Creamy Button (6) Carl No, no, no, no, my dear girl - Max got it wrong.He was wrong, though for good reasons.He had the bad luck of encountering the capitalist system at its most deceitful.The industrial revolution crammed people into slums and enslaved them in factories, but hadn't begun to bring them the benefits of industrialized society.Marx concluded that capitalist wealth is stolen from workers in the form of unpaid labour.He thinks that's how the whole thing works.This false premise is itself added to a false assumption.Marx believed that people would settle down and behave according to their own class.But that's not the case.In various ways and for various reasons, the various classes have moved closer to each other instead of being further apart.The decisive moment never came.It subsides.The turning of the tide must have occurred around the time Capital was finally in print after eighteen years of hard work.Cecily, this book is a moving reminder that writing is stupid.How cute you look all of a sudden -- pink like a rose. Cecily That's because I want to puke on your effeminate straw hat, you megalomaniac! --You showy, insincere dandy, you bourgeois-intellectual liar, you--artist!Marx warns us to beware of liberals, philanthropists, reformists - change will not come from them, but from direct conflict, that's the way history works!When Lenin was twenty-one, there was a famine in Russia.Intellectuals organized relief efforts—soup kitchens, supply of corn seed, and all sorts of utopian social improvements, of which Tolstoy was the leader.Lenin did nothing.He knew that famine is a force that breeds revolution.Twenty-one years old, in Samara③, 1890-1891.He knew that already when he was a big boy.So don't tell me about a superior moral sense, you Kantian-influenced pompous egomaniac, while you're babbling about class, you're actually imagining what I'd look like stripped down to my underpants- - Carl is a lie. (But obviously that's not a lie. As Cecily continues to speak, we see part of Carl's image of her. Colored lights start to wander around her, and most of the other lights go out, except for a bright spot that hits Cal body. From 1974 there was the faint sound of a big band playing "Striptease".Carl is distraught.The music got louder and louder.There is also an option to have Cecily climb onto the desk.这样书桌可以装有酒店歌舞表演用的灯，以供此处使用。 ) 塞西莉惟一的道路是马克思和列宁的道路--他们是所有修正主义的敌人！ --是机会主义自由经济主义的敌人！ --是社会沙文主义资产阶级个人主义的敌人！ --准达达主义的家长主义的敌人！ --伪王尔德格言警句主义的敌人！ --潜乔伊斯式教理问答和教条主义的敌人！ --立体主义的敌人！ --表现主义的敌人！ --风湿主义的敌人！ -- 卡尔不要说了！ (灯光迅速恢复正常。) 塞西莉我想你在图书馆工作时间不应该这么跟我说话。不过，阅览室就要到中午关门的时间了，我就不追究了。对知识的好奇现在可不常见，让人不忍心打击，你想要什么类型的书？ 卡尔书？什么书？塞西莉，你说书是什么意思？我已经读过列宁的文章，我不需要再读什么东西了。我来是要告诉你，在我看来，你是绝对完美的有形化身。 塞西莉身体还是头脑？ 卡尔十全十美。 塞西莉噢，特里斯坦！ 卡尔你也会爱上我，并且把你的所有秘密都告诉我吗？ 塞西莉你这傻小子！当然会！我已经等你几个月了。 卡尔(惊异)几个月？ 塞西莉自从杰克告诉我他有个颓废的虚无主义者弟弟起，我少女的梦想就是改造你并且爱你。 卡尔噢，塞西莉！ (她拥抱他，把他向下拖到她的书桌后面，观众看不见他们。他马上又重新露出头来。) 卡尔可是，我亲爱的塞西莉，你不是在说，你不会爱我，如果-- (--又被拖下。 娜佳上场，戴着无边小圆软帽，衣着朴素刻板，带着一本书……) 娜佳从革命爆发的消息到来的那一刻起，伊利奇便心急如焚地要回俄国……他睡不着觉，整晚都在策划着各种各样不可思议的计划。 ①蔡牧师和劳小姐，《重要的是认真》中的一对配角人物，蔡牧师是华任真、塞西莉所在地产的教区牧师，劳小姐是塞西莉的家庭教师，二人最终相爱--译注。 ②加涅茨基（1879-1937），俄国和国际革命运动活动家--译注。(列宁上场，戴着牧师领，但除此之外从教士帽到教士绑腿都是黑的。他和娜佳相互对视，神情绝望--蔡牧师和劳小姐①。) 但这样的事情只可能在夜晚的半妄想状态中才想得出来。 (娜佳脱下无边小圆软帽。列宁脱下帽子，取下牧师领。) 得拿到一个来自中立国的外国人的护照。 列宁(向娜佳口述)致斯德哥尔摩的雅科夫·加涅茨基②的一封信，1917年3月19日。 (娜佳在便条纸上写着。) "我再也不能等了。我无法获得合法的通行证件。无论发生什么，我和季诺维也夫都必须赶回俄国。惟一可能的计划如下：你必须找到两个长得像我和季诺维也夫的瑞典人，但是因为我们不会讲瑞典语，所以他们必须是聋哑人。为此我附上我们的照片。" (卡尔，此时夹克已不在身上，从塞西莉的桌子后面探出头来。) 一切皆偶然乳白色饰纽（7） 卡尔两个瑞典聋哑人……？ ? (一只看不见的手将他猛地往回一拉，观众再次看不见他。) 娜佳这封信中提到的计划没有实现。 (列宁从硬纸板盒中拿出一顶金色假发，戴在头上。)(在她的便条纸上写着)致日内瓦的VA卡尔宾斯基①，同一天，1917年3月19日。 ①卡尔宾斯基（1880-1965），俄国革命活动家。1904年移居国外，在日内瓦，在列宁的领导下创办《前进报》等。1917年回到俄罗斯--译注。列宁(口述)"我亲爱的维亚切斯拉夫·阿列克谢耶维奇。我正在仔细地、全面地考虑，怎样才是回到俄国的最佳途径。以下内容绝对保密。" (为了强调，列宁不留神砰地一拳头砸在了塞西莉桌上的铃上。塞西莉一跃而起，很快又消失掉，列宁没有看见她。) "请以你的名义获得去法国和英国旅行的证件。我将用它们途经英国和荷兰回到俄国。我可以戴一顶假发。护照上的照片须是我戴着假发的样子。我去伯尔尼领事馆送呈你的证件时也会戴着假发。" (卡尔再次露面，衣冠整齐，在偷听列宁夫妇的对话。) (继续)"你必须从日内瓦消失至少两到三个星期，直到你收到我从斯堪的那维亚发出的电报……你的列宁。另外：我写信给你，是因为我确信，我们之间的一切都将得到绝对保密。" (查拉轻快地上场，没看见卡尔，卡尔也没看见他。他猛砸塞西莉桌上的电铃。塞西莉从桌子后面一跃而起。) 塞西莉杰克？ 查拉(转过脸)塞西莉！ 塞西莉我要让你吃一惊。你弟弟在这儿。 查拉胡说八道！我没有弟弟。 (他转头，看到了卡尔)--噢，我的天哪。 (列宁夫妇停住，瞪着这一切。) 卡尔杰克哥，我来是要告诉你，我对过去给你带来的所有难堪表示抱歉，并且非常希望，以后我不再需要让你难堪了。 塞西莉杰克，你不至于不肯和自己的弟弟握手吧！ 查拉说什么我都不会跟他握手。原因他心里完全有数。 塞西莉杰克，要是你不和你弟弟握手，我就永远不原谅你。查拉那么，不原谅就不原谅吧。我干嘛要在意？这件事的真相是，他不再是我的-- (这时列宁脱掉假发，查拉认出了他。) 啊……同志！您认识我弟弟特里斯坦吗？ (卡尔热忱地和目瞪口呆的列宁夫妇握手。卡尔向查拉伸出手。) 卡尔您好，同志，同志夫人。elder brother! 查拉(握手)这是我最后一次和你握手。 塞西莉看到哥儿俩和好如初，真令人高兴啊！我们还是让这哥儿俩单独呆一呆吧。 娜佳这封信中提到的计划没有实现。 (列宁夫妇收拾好东西下场，塞西莉和他们一起走。) 卡尔她真可爱。我爱上了塞西莉。这使我陷入了某种道德困境。我必须吃块松饼，才能想出办法来。你可以来点饼干。 (图书馆换成卡尔的客厅，谈话继续。) 查拉但我不喜欢饼干。而且，我发誓过再不和你握手了。 卡尔我可不想你在我吃松饼时和我握手。握着的手怎么能吃松饼！ (此时贝内特端着松饼盘子上场。) 啊，贝内特。我的信件中有什么可让我和你还有查拉先生一起分享吗？ 贝内特老爷，列宁的赔率已经减了一点，但还是能拿到一百比一的赔率，赌列宁的观点不会流行。 卡尔一百比一？ 查拉替我押十英镑，好吗，贝内特？--赌列宁在圣诞节前掌控大局。 卡尔也替我押十英镑，贝内特--赌列宁进历史的垃圾筒。 贝内特好的，老爷。 (贝内特下场。卡尔和查拉各自取盘子里的松饼吃。) 查拉亨利，我很震惊。你不至于为了你的所谓的职责，毁掉你对塞西莉·卡路瑟斯的爱吧！ 卡尔我还没有决定--还剩下几块松饼。 (他拿了一块。娜佳上场，旅行的打扮，拖着一个皮箱和一两个包。图书馆和客厅的界线现在也许变得模糊。) 娜佳在同一天，3月19日，各派俄国政治侨民团体在瑞士召开了一次会议，讨论回俄国的途径和方法。马尔托夫建议用交换被关押在俄国的德国和奥地利战俘的方法来获准通过德国。 (列宁上场，类似的穿着，同样拖着一些包和箱子。) 列宁3月21日，致日内瓦卡尔宾斯基的一封信。"马尔托夫的建议很好。只是，我们无法和德国当局直接交涉。" 娜佳因此，齐美瓦尔德委员会的主席格林同志负责交涉此事。3月25日--德国最高司令部致电柏林外交部。"如果用专列，且有可靠的护卫，则不反对俄国革命者的通行。" 卡尔(吃一块松饼)看--请公正些。我非常爱塞西莉，但是美国人要参战，而且，现在不是让一些布尔什维克把俄国人拖出战争的好时机。那样会让整个局势都改变的。我的意思是，我的判断是对的。记住泼皮的小波兰①--不是波兰，是另一个。 ①PluckylittlePoland，押头韵--译注。 一切皆偶然乳白色饰纽（8） ②戏拟伏尔泰的名言：如果上帝不存在，就没有必要创造一个出来--译注。列宁我们的策略是--不相信也不支持新政府。克伦斯基尤其可疑。把无产阶级武装起来是惟一的保证。把这些发报给圣彼得堡。 卡尔请注意，根据马克思的理论，无论有没有列宁，历史辩证法都会把你带到同样的地方。如果列宁不存在，就没有必要创造一个出来②。 列宁致斯德哥尔摩加涅茨基的电报。"我们有二十人明天出发。" 卡尔而且，你的马克思主义纯粹是假装的。你是个温和的资产阶级分子，怀揣舍监开的便条，而且，如果革命真来了，你还不知道会有什么砸你自己身上呢。你什么也不是。你是个艺术家。拉五颜六色的尿对那些伙计来说可不是开玩笑，他们会让你拉血的。 查拉艺术家和知识分子将成为革命的良心。你把所有的松饼都吃掉了，把饼干留给我，真是太没良心了。 娜佳4月9日，下午2时30分，旅行者们从查哈林格·霍夫餐馆出发，穿着真正的俄罗斯服装，带着枕头、毯子和几件个人行李。伊利奇戴着圆顶高帽，穿着厚重的外套和钉有平头钉的厚底靴子，是镜街14号的鞋匠卡默尔给他做的。致他在圣彼得堡的姐姐的电报： 列宁"周一晚上11点到。告诉《真理报》。" 查拉(站起来)好吧，随便你。在达达主义者看来，历史也出自帽子里。 卡尔我可不认为在共产主义社会里会给达达主义留个位子。 查拉这是我们反对的。在里面有给我们的位子！ (查拉下场。) 娜佳火车3时10分准时开出。 (列宁和娜佳带着行李离开。响起火车开动的声音。 观众听到，也许还看到，火车的离开。塞西莉出现，穿着适合火车站站台的服装，向着远去的列车挥舞一方红手帕。 ) 卡尔(断然地)不，我看得很明白。必须阻止他。俄国人已经有了一个由爱国的、稳健的人士组成的政府。李沃夫亲王是一个适度的保守主义者，克伦斯基是一个适度的社会主义者，而古契柯夫是一个商人。总的来说，是一块大有希望的基石，可以在上面建立西方模式的自由民主，大力推进东线的战争，之后便是快速的贸易扩张。我要给在伯尔尼的部长发电报。 (卡尔下场。全场变黑，除了一盏灯打在列宁身上。有一张广为流传的列宁的照片，1920年5月的一天他在一个广场上对群众演讲--如卡尔形容的："秃顶，蓄须，穿着三件套"；他好像在迎着寒风站着，下巴伸出，双手抓着及腰高的演讲台的边缘，右手同时还抓着一顶布帽……一个理所当然著名的形象。 正在慷慨陈辞的列宁，现在是台上惟一一个人。 ) 列宁(高声地)说真的，如果下层阶级不为我们树个好榜样，他们到底有什么用呢？ !他们似乎是一个毫无道德责任感的阶级！革命失败一次是不幸的。失败两次就有草率之嫌了！ (老卡尔上场，打断，翻看一本破烂的书。) 老卡尔(上场)别，悠着点--对不起--你们注意到了吗？你们当然注意到了。你们想，嘿，嘿，他又在那么干了。没错--嗯，别担心，这是那张照片。 4月16日，列宁到了圣彼得堡，你们忠诚的朋友我只落得个两手空空。我曾经跟他相当靠近过，我交上了好运，碰到了一个小妇人，我对他的意图一清二楚，事实上，当时我是有可能阻止整个布尔什维克进程的，但是--问题是：我左右为难。一方面是文明社会的未来；另一方面是我对塞西莉的感情。而且，别忘了，他那时还不是列宁！我的意思是，他那时算什么？you could put it that way.我当时就在那儿，几百万人的命运取决于我做何行动，或究竟行动与否，换另一个人可能早垮掉了--顺便提一下，松饼的事，对不起了。不管怎么样，我们到哪儿了？噢，对了。 (卡尔打开书，在书中寻找)--《列宁谈文学和艺术》-- (卡尔带着书留在台上。列宁重新开始。) 列宁今天，文学必须成为党的文学。打倒非党的文学！打倒文学超人！文学必须成为无产阶级同共事业的一部分，社会民主机制中的一个齿轮。 出版和分销中心，书店和阅览室，图书馆和类似的机构，全都必须置于党的控制之下。我们想要建立，我们将要建立新闻自由，不仅不受警方的限制，而且不受资金和野心的影响。更重要的是，不受资产阶级无政府主义个人主义的腐蚀！ (娜佳带着同一本书上场。) 娜佳(上场)伊利奇在1905年第一次革命期间写了这些话。 列宁(继续)每个人都有想写什么就写什么、想说什么就说什么的自由，不受任何限制。但是每一个自发的团体，包括党，也有驱逐任何利用党的名义宣扬反党观点的成员的自由。其次，我们必须对你们资产阶级个人主义者说，你们所说的绝对自由全是虚伪的。在一个以金钱权力为基础的社会里，不可能有真正的、有效的自由。社会主义文学和艺术将是自由的，因为社会主义思想和对劳动人民的同情，而不是贪婪和追名逐利，将给人民带来永新的力量。 (列宁身上的灯光熄灭。) 卡尔还有更多这样的话，但有些地方有点胡说八道--等等--(他在书中翻找) 娜佳总的来说，关于艺术和文学伊利奇写得很少，但他喜欢这些东西。我们有时去音乐会，去剧院，甚至去音乐厅--他看到小丑常常笑个不停--1907年他在伦敦观看时，感动得流下了眼泪。 卡尔(伤感地)噢………… 娜佳列宁钦佩托尔斯泰，特别是，但是，正如1908年托尔斯泰八十岁生日时，列宁在一篇文章中写的那样…… (列宁上场与娜佳会合。) 列宁(上场)一方面是伟大的艺术家,另一方面是心心念念着基督的地主。一方面是反对社会不公的强劲而真诚的抗议者，另一方面是疲惫而歇斯底里的哭泣者，成为俄国知识分子的著名形象：当众捶胸而泣，我是个邪恶的坏人，但我正在进行道德的自我完善。我不吃肉，我现在改吃大米炸肉饼。托尔斯泰身上反映了积聚的敌意和对崭新未来的欢迎--同时，也反映了不成熟的梦想和政治上的软弱，这也是1905年革命失败的主要原因之一。 " 卡尔(找到那个地方)找到了。 ①克拉拉·蔡特金（1857-1933），德国女权主义者,社会主义者,共产党领袖--译注。娜佳不过，他尊重托尔斯泰的传统价值观。新艺术对他来说有些格格不入和不可理解。克拉拉·蔡特金①在她的回忆录里写到，她记得他大叫一声-- 卡尔＆列宁狗屎!胡说八道！
