ABSTRACT This article is a meditation, developed in dialogue with the thought of twelfth-century German mystic and saint Hildegard of Bingen, on the various senses of the verge. Besides connoting a temporal and spatial edge, the verge unites such apparently disparate things as virginity and virility, vigor and virtue, veracity and viriditas – Hildegard’s original term for the vegetal principle of “greening green,” allowing for the self-reproduction of all finite existence. I show how, in the shadow of vegetality, the verge sparks a series of sudden reversals in which, figured as “the greenest branch,” Virgin Mary is imbued with a greater strength than the Flower-Child she carries, and plant life is endowed with vigor animating the rest of creation.

在植物边缘(与圣希尔德加德)

摘要 本文是一种冥想,是在与 12 世纪德国神秘主义者和宾根圣希尔德加德思想的对话中发展起来的,在各种意义上的边缘。除了意味着时间和空间的边缘之外,边缘还联合了诸如童贞和男子气概、活力和美德、真实性和纯洁性等明显不同的事物——希尔德加德对“绿化绿色”植物原则的原始术语,允许所有有限的自我繁殖存在。我展示了,在植物的阴影下,边缘如何引发一系列突然的逆转,其中被认为是“最绿色的树枝”,圣母玛利亚比她携带的花童更强大,植物生命被赋予充满活力的创作其余部分。
