我是终生失眠的,我每天晚上都像一个新死亡一样睡着,梦想着在晴朗的绿色河中游泳的深度和谐梦想,在水中玩耍和在家中玩耍。在第一个晚上,我梦见房子的真名不是布拉马索尔,而是一百个天使的Cento Angeli,我会一个一个人发现它们。更改房屋的名称是不幸的吗?作为一个曲折的外国人,我不会。但是对我来说,这所房子现在有一个秘密的名字和自己的名字。
(A lifelong insomniac, I sleep like one newly dead every night and dream deeply harmonious dreams of swimming along with the current in a clear green river, playing and at home in the water. On the first night, I dreamed that the real name of the house was not Bramasole but Cento Angeli, One Hundred Angels, and that I would discover them one by one. Is it bad luck to change the name of a house, as it is to rename a boat? As a trepid foreigner, I wouldn't. But for me, the house now has a secret name as well as its own name.)
在“托斯卡纳太阳下”中,弗朗西丝·梅斯(Frances Mayes)反思了她与失眠症的斗争,描述了她终于经历的深沉而宁静的睡眠以及它带来的生动梦想。她设想了一条晴朗的绿色河流,在那里她感觉到和平并与自然有关。这种新发现的宁静与她以前的不眠之夜形成鲜明对比,并突出了她一生中对和谐的渴望。
当梅斯(Mayes)梦想着她的房子(最初称为bramasole)的真实身份被称为Cento Angeli,意为一百个天使时,叙事发生了转变。尽管她考虑了围绕着房屋重命名的迷信,但她觉得自己与该物业的联系具有更深的意义,增强了其神秘和魅力。这个秘密的名字象征着她的个人旅程和与她在托斯卡纳的时光相关的独特经历。
