羅斯福FDR總統逝世(1945年4月12日):The man who saved his country, and the world

"自從十六世紀的蒙田率先說出「我最恐懼的事就是恐懼」後,這句睿智名言就常在人心。後來美國的小羅斯福總統將原句修飾,變成「我們唯一必須恐懼的,乃是恐懼本身」。它的語氣更加鏗鏘,已成了廿世紀最重要的勵志金句之一。"---這句話,在2016年香港影展,又大放異彩。

我記得這天胡適、趙元任等日記中都有悼念文。



1945年4月12日晚楊聯陞又去聽哈佛經濟系和社會系的幾位名教授討論海氏的書。這一天適值羅斯福總統逝世,他在日記中寫了一首悼詩,起句云:「章憲煌煌告五洲,大西洋月印如鉤」,正是頌讚羅氏的 「大西洋憲章」。他的政治傾向還是很清楚的。這兩天的記事為他的壽聯提供了一種思想的背景。從這個意義上說,楊和胡一樣,也是學術本位的自由主義者。正是 由於愛好羅斯福所揭示的「四大自由」,他萬般無奈地作出了定居美國的抉擇。然而也幸虧如此,他才躲開了政治的紛擾,在哈佛燕京漢和圖書館裡,窮年累月地博 覽群書,終於為西方漢學界放一異彩。
