世界杯使我想起了Sheela-Na-Gig ,简称Sheela(西拉)。
Sheela 是一种带有色情意味的女性人体石雕,广泛分布于爱尔兰,在欧洲大陆也时有所见,通常在中世纪教堂可以找到它的踪影。它们由蹲坐的老妇和夸张的女阴构成,据说是古代凯尔特人的女神,象征繁殖、丰收、死亡和复活。
在庄严肃穆的教堂发现这样的怪物,给人以怪怪的感觉。这些石雕年代久远,看上去并不和教堂建筑连为一体,而可能是取自于更古老的建筑。由于没有题款,故雕刻年代不可考。
值得注意的是,Sheela 镶嵌的位置多数都在门楣上方,给当今人类带来无限遐思。

驰骋球场的猛士在抬脚劲射的时候,冥冥中是否看见了Sheela-Na-Gig?
英国摇滚巨星 PJ Harvey 曾唱过一首引起轰动的歌曲《Sheela-Na-Gig》,找来后却不能流畅收听。先把歌词放这里。

Sheela-Na-Gig
P.J. Harvey
I've been trying to show you over and over
Look at these, my child-bearing hips
Look at these, my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these, my work strong arms and
You've got to see my bottle full of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me
He said
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner, there's another one there
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before
He said
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Turn the corner, there's another one there
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before
He said
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
"Sheela-Na-Gig, Sheela-Na-Gig, you exhibitionist!"
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole
He said, "Wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean."
He said, "Please take those dirty pillows away from me."
He said, "Wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean."
He said, "Please take those dirty pillows away from me."
He said, "Wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean."
He said, "Please take those dirty pillows away from me."
He said, "Wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean."
He said, "Please take those dirty pillows away from me."
