季终集 "World Enough and Time" 标题梗

第十季finale下周就要开始了！第一部分，也就是全季第十一集的名字叫World Enough and Time。和朋友聊天的时候我就说，是个值得马斯特回归的好名字。

事实上，这一集的标题来自Andrew Marvell的著名诗歌"To His Coy Mistress"。这里可以听抖森森读这首诗（虽然听到他说vegetable love的时候我笑出了声）；也把全诗粘贴过来和大家分享。

To His Coy Mistress

by Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough and time,

This coyness, lady, were no crime.

We would sit down, and think which way

To walk, and pass our long love’s day.

Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side

Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide

Of Humber would complain. I would

Love you ten years before the flood,

And you should, if you please, refuse

Till the conversion of the Jews.

My vegetable love should grow

Vaster than empires and more slow;

An hundred years should go to praise

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;

Two hundred to adore each breast,

But thirty thousand to the rest;

An age at least to every part,

And the last age should show your heart.

For, lady, you deserve this state,

Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I always hear

Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no more be found;

Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound

My echoing song; then worms shall try

That long-preserved virginity,

And your quaint honour turn to dust,

And into ashes all my lust;

The grave’s a fine and private place,

But none, I think, do there embrace.

Now therefore, while the youthful hue

Sits on thy skin like morning dew,

And while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may,

And now, like amorous birds of prey,

Rather at once our time devour

Than languish in his slow-chapped power.

Let us roll all our strength and all

Our sweetness up into one ball,

And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Through the iron gates of life:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run.

这并不是近两年第一次在《神秘博士》单集名称里引用经典诗句。第八季第十集"In the Forest of the Night"就来自William Blake的"The Tyger"首句: "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright, / In the forests of the night."

潮老头和破洞衫：）

另外第九季Under the Lake/Before the Flood这个双集里"before the flood"同样来自To His Coy Mistress: "I would love you ten years before the flood."

我对第十季也是一肚子牢骚，觉得十二这么温柔可爱，刀子嘴豆腐心的老头子（和超级优秀而且从小就是乖乖的whovian的皮卡叔）当然值得聪明又热血的最终季；然而目前的十集怎么看都有些repetitive或者眼高手低。（想到我今年还去见了两个DW编剧甚至鼓励了他们，真是生气）

看样子季终又是要搞事情。既然都搬来了马斯特，希望能有个漂亮的收场：）
