Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Child, you will be told later that the grandfather
adored you; that he did his best on earth,
That he had very little joy and much envy,
That when you were little he was old,
That he had no gruff words or morose airs,
And that he left you in the season of roses;
That he is dead, that he was a lenient fellow;
That, in the famous winter of the great bombardment,
He crossed Paris tragic and full of swords,
To carry you heaps of toys, dolls,
And puppets making a thousand buffoonish gestures;
And you will be pensive under the deep trees.

【《一月一日》】
(法国)胜利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)
【红霞译】
宝贝，稍后你将获知爷爷
疼爱你；他奋斗
一生，快乐少但羡慕多，
他老时而你还小，
他从不爆粗也无愁容，
在玫瑰花开的季节离开了你；
他慈祥可亲却已经过世；
在那个著名的大围剿冬天，
他穿过剑气冲霄的悲惨巴黎，
给你带来许多玩具、娃娃、
还有善变千般戏法的木偶；
令你在树林深处遐想。
【注】圣马洛“光明誓言使徒”是法国西北部不列颠“英国佬之地”(Brittany)半岛英吉利海峡上一座有城墙的港口城市，尽管堪称该地区最吸引游客的景点之一，但80%的古建筑都是二战被盟军摧毁后重建的高仿品，正因如此，我只沿城墙根溜达了一下。
作为朗斯“腐臭”河口(Rance Estuary)中世纪的防御岛屿，圣马洛不仅控制着内流通道，而且还操纵湾外的公海水面。早在6世纪初，圣马洛曾因法国王室授权的海盗行径、为法国国王工作的私掠船、甚至有时是海上劫匪的家园而臭名昭著；19世纪，神慈·里什潘“富有”(Jean Richepin)的戏剧《海盗》和长发·居伊“尾巴”(Cesar Cui)的同名歌剧都刻画了这种“海盗”恶名。圣马洛的海盗不仅迫使经过英吉利海峡的英国船只进贡，还从更远的地方带来了财富。
后继者·卡地亚“运货者”(Jacques Cartier)住在圣马洛，并由此启航开往北美洲圣劳伦斯“明亮”河，参观了魁北克“海峡”和蒙特利尔“皇家山”，因此被誉为加拿大的发现者；第一批定居南美洲福克兰群岛的法国殖民者也来自圣马洛，因此西班牙语衍生出马尔维纳斯群岛(Islas Malvinas)，亦即法语版的圣马洛群岛(Malouines)。
