The textile artist Celia Birtwell conjures up the wind and the weather of Emily Brontë's masterpiece, Wuthering Heights, in a cover designed for White's Books. We take a look at how recent editions have summoned up the spirit of Cathy.
在为White's Books设计的封面中，织画艺术家西莉娅·波特维尔(Celia Birtwell) 魔法般地再现了艾米莉·勃朗特(Emily Brontë's)名著《呼啸山庄》(Wuthering Heights)狂风暴雨的天气。看新近版本的名著怎样用封面召唤女主人公凯茜的灵魂。
'One may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house, and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun. Happily the architect had foresight to build it strong. The narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones.'
“只要看一看宅子尽头那几颗生长不良、过度倾斜的枞树，还有那一排瘦削的、全把枝条伸向一个方向，就像在向太阳乞求布施的荆棘，你就能捉摸出从旁刮过的北风该有多大威力了。多亏当年的建筑师有先见之明，把这幢宅子盖得非常结实，狭窄的窗子深深嵌在墙里，墙角都砌有凸出的大石块保护着。”
