Sample test: Hecommenced helping the poor. →commenced to help
To be elected presidentin the Provincetown Playhouse at our International Conference in New York thispast June was a special thrill, and it's a privilege to be succeeding suchaccomplished O'Neillians as Laurie Porter, Brenda Murphy, and Steve Bloom, justto name the most recent. (1) I feel lucky to have aturn at leading this organization with its collegial, erudite, and distinguishinggroup of scholars, teachers, and dedicated enthusiasts of the life and works ofEugene O'Neill. And congratulations to Jeff Kennedy, the tirelesscreative force behind the New York conference and our new vice president. (2) Just as O'Neill himself was usually convinced that hismost recent play was his greatest, sometimes correctly, I can't help to think thatour most recent gathering this June set a new high mark even among all theterrific international conferences that the Society has sponsored over the pastfew decades.
By day I am theassociate dean of Arts and Sciences at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville,and though I enjoy budget spreadsheets and curriculum oversight as much as thenext guy, (3) the excuse to linger in Seattle for MLA,or run off to San Francisco in May for our annual Society meeting at ALA, give mea special sense of purpose and adventure that, frankly, administrative lifesometimes lacks. Though handicapped by a reasonably happy childhood, I cameto appreciate O'Neill in graduate school while studying his plays at BostonUniversity, a couple of blocks down Bay State Road from where he died in 1953.A coincidence, probably, but I should also note that my wife Rita attendedConnecticut College in New London, a primary locus of O'Neill studies (and justmaybe the site of our next big gathering--stay tuned); my mother-in-law was actuallya young girl in Provincetown during those special years when O'Neill was afledgling playwright and family man there. In January, I look forward toreturning to Seattle, my own home town and O'Neill's home for a few months in 1936when he learned he'd won the Nobel Prize, where I'll be moderating the O'NeillSociety session at the 2012 MLA convention. I suppose being an O'Neillianrequires a certain belief in the convergent power of fate.
(4)Our future looks bright, with so much continuing interest in O'Neill and hiscircle, so I'm sure that like many of you I'm having some difficulty imagininglife after Diane Schinnerer steps down this winter after twelve peerless yearsas our secretary-treasurer. Fortunately we have Beth Wynstrastepping into that role, and I'm sure she'll be channeling Diane when necessarywhile putting her own fresh stamp on the operation.
The other majortransition, of course, is the succession of the editorship of The EugeneO'Neill Review from Zander Brietzke to William Davies King, (5) with the journal moving from its original home atSuffolk University to the Penn State University Press, there it will bepublished twice-yearly and available online through JSTOR and Project MUSE. Zander,succeeding founding editor Fred Wilkins, cultivated many important new voicesand directions in O'Neill scholarship. It will be exciting to see where Daveand the supportive folks at PSUP take the journal from here. So it's a goodtime to be an O'Neillian, and I hope to continue seeing many of you atSociety-sponsored events, and to encourage new O'Neill scholars and fans tojoin us.
IV. Read the following passage and fulfill thetasks according to the requirements. (共95分)
The Good Short Life
by Dudley Clendinen
(From the New York Times)
1. I have wonderfulfriends. In this last year, one took me to Istanbul. One gave me a box ofhandcrafted chocolates. Fifteen of them held two rousing, pre-posthumous wakesfor me. Several wrote large checks. Two sent me a boxed set of all the Bachsacred cantatas. And one, from Texas, put a hand on my thinning shoulder, and appearedto study the ground where we were standing. He had flown in to see me.
2. “We need to go buy you a pistol,don’t we?” he asked quietly. He meant to shoot myself with.
3. “Yes, Sweet Thing,” I said, witha smile. “We do.”
4. I loved him for that.
5. I love them all. I amacutely lucky in my family and friends, and in my daughter, my work, and mylife. But I have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, more kindly known asLou Gehrig’s disease, for the great Yankee hitter and first baseman who wastold he had it in 1939, accepted the verdict with such famous grace, and died lessthan two years later. He was almost thirty-eight.
6. I sometimes callit Lou, in his honor, and because the familiar feels less threatening. Butit is not a kind disease. The nerves and muscles pulse and twitch, andprogressively, they die. From the outside, it looks like the ripple of pianokeys in the muscles under my skin. From the inside, it feels like anxiousbutterflies, trying to get out. It starts in the hands and feet and works itsway up and in, or it begins in the muscles of the mouth and throat and chestand abdomen, and works its way down and out. The second way is calledbulbar, and that’s the way it is with me. We don’t live as long, because itaffects our ability to breathe early on, and it just gets worse.
7. At the moment, forsixty-six, I look pretty good. I’ve lost twenty pounds. My face is thinner. Ieven get some “Hey, there, Big Boy,” looks, which I like. I think of it as mycosmetic phase. But it’s hard to smile, and chew. I’m short of breath. I chokea lot. I sound like a wheezy, lisping drunk. For a recovering alcoholic, it’sreally annoying.
8. There is nomeaningful treatment. No cure. There is one medication, Rilutek, which mightmake a few months’ difference. It retails for about $14,000 a year. That doesn’t seem worthwhile to me. If I let this run the whole course, with all the human, medical, technological, and loving support I will start to need justmonths from now, it will leave me, in five or eight or twelve or more years, aconscious but motionless, mute, withered, incontinent mummy of my former self.Maintained by feeding and waste tubes, breathing and suctioning machines.
9. No, thank you. Ihate being a drag. I don’t think I’ll stick around for the back half of Lou.
10. I think it’simportant to say that. We obsess in this country about how to eat and dress anddrink, about finding a job and a mate. About having sex and children. About howto live. But we don’t talk about how to die. We act as if facing death weren’tone of life’s greatest, most absorbing thrills and challenges. Believe me, it is.This is not dull. But we have to be able to see doctors and machines, medicaland insurance systems, family and friends and religions as informative—notgoverning —in orderto be free.
11. And that’s thepoint. This is not about one particular disease or even about Death. It’s aboutLife, when you know there’s not much left. That is the weird blessing of Lou.There is no escape, and nothing much to do. It’s liberating.
12. I began to slur andmumble in May 2010. When the neurologist gave me the diagnosis that November, heshook my hand with a cracked smile and released me to the chill, empty grayparking lot below.
13. It was twilight.He had confirmed what I had suspected through six months of tests by otherspecialists looking for other explanations. But suspicion and certainty are twodifferent things. Standing there, it suddenly hit me that I was going todie. I’m not prepared for this, I thought. I don’t know whether to stand here,get in the car, sit in it, or drive. To where? Why? The pall lasted about fiveminutes, and then I remembered that I did have a plan. I had a dinner scheduledin Washington that night with an old friend, a scholar and author who wasfeeling depressed. We’d been talking about him a lot. Fair enough. Tonight, I’dup the ante. We’d talk about Lou.
14. The next morning, Irealized I did have a way of life. For twenty-two years, I have been going totherapists and twelve-step meetings. They helped me deal with being alcoholicand gay. They taught me how to be sober and sane. They taught me that I couldbe myself, but that life wasn’t just about me. They taught me how to be a father.And perhaps most important, they taught me that I can do anything, one day at atime.
15. Including this.
16. I am, in fact,prepared. This is not as hard for me as it is for others. Not nearly as hard asit is for Whitney, my thirty-year-old daughter, and for my family and friends.I know. I have experience.
17. I was close to myold cousin, Florence, who was terminally ill. She wanted to die, not wait. Iwas legally responsible for two aunts, Bessie and Carolyn, and for Mother, allof whom would have died of natural causes years earlier if not for medicaltechnology, well-meaning systems, and loving, caring hands.
18. I spent hundreds ofdays at Mother’s side, holding her hand, trying to tell her funny stories. Shewas being bathed and diapered and dressed and fed, and for the last severalyears, she looked at me, her only son, as she might have at a passing cloud.
19. I don’t want thatexperience for Whitney—nor for anyone who loves me. Lingering would be acolossal waste of love and money.
20. If I choose to havethe tracheotomy that I will need in the next several months to avoid chokingand perhaps dying of aspiration pneumonia, the respirator and the staff andsupport system necessary to maintain me will easily cost half a million dollarsa year. Whose half a million, I don’t know.
21. I’d rather die. Irespect the wishes of people who want to live as long as they can. But I wouldlike the same respect for those of us who decide—rationally—not to. I’vedone my homework. I have a plan. If I get pneumonia, I’ll let it snuff me out.If not, there are those other ways. I just have to act while my hands stillwork: the gun, narcotics, sharp blades, a plastic bag, a fast car,over-the-counter drugs, oleander tea (the polite southern way), carbonmonoxide, even helium. That would give me a really funny voice at the end.
22. I have found theway. Not a gun. A way that’s quiet and calm.
23. Knowing thatcomforts me. I don’t worry about fatty foods anymore. I don’t worry abouthaving enough money to grow old. I’m not going to grow old.
24. I’m having awonderful time.
25. I have a bright,beautiful, talented daughter who lives close by, the gift of my life. I don’tknow if she approves. But she understands. Leaving her is the one thing I hate.But all I can do is to give her a daddy who was vital to the end, and knew whento leave. What else is there? I spend a lot of time writing letters and notes,and taping conversations about this time, which I think of as the Good ShortLife (and Loving Exit), for WYPR-FM, the main NPR station in Baltimore. Iwant to take the sting out of it, to make it easier to talk about death. I amterribly behind in my notes, but people are incredibly patient and nice. Andinviting. I have invitations galore.
26. Last month, an oldfriend brought me a recording of the greatest concert he’d ever heard, LeonardCohen, live, in London, three years ago. It’s powerful, haunting music, by apoet, composer, and singer whose life has been as tough and sinewy and lovingas an old tree.
27. The song thattransfixed me, words and music, was “Dance Me to the End of Love.” That’s theway I feel about this time. I’m dancing, spinning around, happy in the lastrhythms of the life I love. When the music stops—when I can’t tie my bow tie,tell a funny story, walk my dog, talk with Whitney, kiss someone special, ortap out lines like this—I’ll know that Life is over.
28. It’s time to begone.
