Nico/電玩/華茲華斯
March 17, 2009
Infocom 1985 年出版了一個經典文字冒險遊戲, 叫 A Mind Forever Voyaging. 原來標題出自華茲華斯的詩 The Prelude:
The antechapel where the statue stood of Newton with his prism and silent face, the marble index of a mind for ever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
這首詩一定很受歡迎, 因為 Marble Index 也被歌手 Nico 拿來當專輯的名字. The marble index of a mind forever voyaging, 一個名詞子句就有兩個通俗文化的 reference, 好像不太多見.
我喜歡華茲華斯. 好詩.
謎題: Lou Reed 跟 LISP 程式語言有什麼關係? Lou Reed -> Velvet Underground -> Nico -> Marble Index -> Wordsworth -> A Mind Forever Voyaging -> Infocom -> Zork -> ZIL programming language -> MDL programming language -> LISP
