摘要

在1942年5月从马赛出发前不久写的两封信中，西蒙娜·韦尔透露了乔治·赫伯特的《爱》(现在通常被称为《爱(III)》)对她的深刻影响。当她在剧烈头痛时背诵这首诗时，她有了一种宗教体验，其中包括基督降临并占据了她。这篇文章提供了一个比较的案例研究，集中在诗歌如何成为一种形式的祈祷导致宗教经验。它通过韦尔生命最后一年的哲学和精神著作提供了对“爱”的仔细阅读。对威尔来说，诗歌之美类似于世界之美，因此可以表明上帝的意志或宇宙不可言喻的秩序。

Simone Weil and George Herbert on Love through Poetry

In two letters written shortly before she sailed from Marseille in May 1942, Simone Weil reveals the profound impact George Herbert’s ‘Love’ (now commonly titled ‘Love (III)’) had on her. When reciting the poem to herself during intense headaches, she had a religious experience which involved Christ descending and taking possession of her. This article offers a comparative case study of how focused attention on poetry can become a form of prayer leading to religious experience. It offers a close reading of ‘Love’ through the lens of Weil’s philosophical and spiritual writings from the last year of her life. For Weil, the beauty of poetry is analogous to the beauty of the world and hence can indicate God’s will or the ineffable order of the universe.
