[董桥]《这一代的事》节选
书房窗外的冷雨
父亲坐在书房里靠窗那堂软沙发垫上，两手捧着一盏新沏的铁观音，白烟袅袅，凄凄切切半蒙住他那张有风有霜的脸。沙发的蓝绒底子上洒满翠绿竹叶，衬着窗外一丛幽篁，格外见出匠心。因是雨后黄昏，院子那边的荷塘传来几处蛙鸣，书房反而更显得寂静了。十八岁少年屏息站在沙发四五步外的紫檀木书桌边，不必抬头都背得出左壁上挂的一幅对子：“南云望气千重紫，华露罗香万亩兰”右边盆景花架后面那一幅则是：“传家有道惟存厚，处世无奇但率真”。朝南花格圆窗两侧整整齐齐立着一对乌木玻璃书橱，小时候父亲一出门，总是偷偷翻遍橱里的旧书和存画，宋代花鸟明人山水清朝碑帖自忖都可以闭着眼睛临出来。壁灯如梦；瞄一秒案头青花笔筒里那一丛丛粗粗幼幼的毛笔，想起童年，竟无端讨厌起何绍基来了。父亲啜了一口茶说：“到了台北赶紧先去看宋伯伯，知道吗？”“知道了。”“国家多难，生活更应该朴素，专心向学。”“是。”蛙鸣越来越闹，窗外又下气冷雨了。

Eric Kunsman brings us an exquisite series of images documenting the Eastern State Penitentiary (PA) where traditional black and white photography is brought to new levels of refinement in the "digital darkroom." The penitentiary was "unbelievably harsh during its ‘solitary confinement era’ in the 1800s," says Kunsman. He found himself intrigued by the complex relationship between punishment and altruism that had inspired the creation and management of the Penitentiary. The radiant but somber light, the feeling of abandonment and the textured detail of the aging architecture of the facility give us an eerie sense of the presence of its former inhabitants.
