忽然間，溫暖遠逝，

生命化入流動的空氣。

─維吉爾 《伊尼亞德》第四章

Noel Gallagher - Listen Up

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic but I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

一個人的自由

「嘿，你一個人在這裡做什麼？」

「嗯，我在找...自由」

「一個人？」

「嗯，一個人。好像沒別的辦法了。」

「但，一個人不會很難受嗎？」

「嗯，...有一點。」

「為何不找個同伴呢？」

「嗯，曾經...有...和一個...我深愛著的女孩。」

「結果呢？」

「她離開了...」

「怎麼了？」

「我沒有能力給予她應得的愛。雖然...我不曾忘過她，不過，已經沒關係了...」

「...？」

「她會長大，善良的。」

「那...你呢？」

「我會在這裡......雖然可能已經找不到自由了吧...。」

The Hours

Dear Leonard:

To look life in the face,
Always to look life in the face,

And to know it for what it is,

At last, to know it,

To love it for what it is,

And then......to put it away.

─Virginia Woolf《The Hours》
