普月

普月 说：

仅此一度追逝，才可珍为伤悼。 Like one who, on a lonely road, Doth walk in fear and dread, And, having once turned round, walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread. —Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

普月 说：

黑色的梦。 Then saw they how there hove a dusky barge, Dark as a funeral scarf from stem to stern, Beneath them; and descending they were ware That all the decks were dense with stately forms, Black-stoled, black-hooded, like a dream. —Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King.

普月 说：

the "dangerous doctor"，19世纪反叛科学主义的隐喻。 The mad scientist is a stock character of the Victorian Gothic genre. He—it is always a he—is usually well-intentioned but can end up acting on the side of either evil or good. It's often been supposed that the knowledge of science and, perhaps, magic, comes from a satanic source and those who appear particularly skilled in such fields as alchemy, medical research and physics have been treated with suspicion. Dr. Van Helsing, who leads the fight against the monstrous vampire Dracula; Dr. Frankenstein, who arrogantly creates a monster; and Dr. Jekyll, who becomes a monster himself, are all examples of the "dangerous doctor" type. The message in the stories that centre on these characters is that science, and the misplaced over-confidence that can result from scientific knowledge, are often perilous to the soul and spirit.
