今日是英国女文豪弗吉尼亚-伍尔夫【Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)】诞辰136周年。伍尔夫的代表作有《达洛维夫人》、《到灯塔去》和《一间自己的房间》【Mrs Dalloway (1925), To The Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928) and A Room of One's Own (1929) 】。
最后一部，被视为现代女权主义的宣言，其文学、思想内涵都具划时代意义。伍尔夫生前常在英国居所举办沙龙，汇聚文学、艺术届名流骚客，与同她同时代在巴黎的女性领袖格鲁特-斯坦因 【Gertrude Stein(1874-1946)】，形成欧洲双子高照的态势。斯坦因也就是对海明威说出：“You are all a lost generation.”（”你们便是那迷惘的一代”）的那位卓越女性，说她是当时人来文艺界的圣母，毫不为过，其俱乐部的座上客包括海明威、庞德和毕加索这些后来如雷贯耳的人物。
伍尔夫生前多次自杀未遂，但最终还是成功了。她的意识流风格，不少人不喜欢或欣赏不了，但她在英国和世界文学史上，具有不可替代的地位。她的声名的不朽，靠得不是她华丽的肉身、名贵的出身，而是她精致高雅的魂灵，就像美国的艾米丽-迪金森、法国的波伏瓦和中国的李清照那样。
豆瓣上有部关于《达洛维夫人》的高分电影O网页链接。而关于格鲁特-斯坦因，也有一部迷人的叫做《午夜巴黎》的影视。看看这些了不起的作家、作品和影视，就知道真正的艺术真不该是那么粗鄙、粗糙和造作。
历史上的伟人智者，都留下了一些广为传颂的名言警句，伍尔夫亦不例外，比如“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”“Language is wine upon lips.” "For most history, anonymous was a woman."
然而，如果不沉下心，阅读他们的作品和生平，是不可能体味他们思想的精妙及灵魂的雅致。多少的名言，不过是拿来滋补苍白人生的补药。
想到历史上还有这样的女性存在，就觉得填补了四大美女之外的更美好的空白。
