EDT2024-05-26Arrowby understands later on that the monster is a deep, unconscious projection of his voracious jealousy. At first, however, he worries that it is an aftereffect of the LSD he took in the 1960s. (Another sense in which demons proliferate in age is that the body may not recover from the habits of the past.) But of course, once he has his sights set on his suddenly appeared childhood sweetheart Mary Hartley Smith (now Mrs. Ben Fitch), Charles connects the sea monster he thinks he saw from the rocks near Shruff End to the one in Titian’s painting menacing Andromeda. It must have been a premonition of Hartley’s husband, Ben Fitch, from whom he must rescue her. (In his preoccupied state, Charles supposes the future must have cast this shadow.)

We never spoke of this strange tension between us; perhaps we would not have been able to find word for it. And I doubt if our parents had any idea of it. Even my father, who knew that I envied James, had no conception of this.

拉赫卡布奇诺夫2022-03-04一个人在自述生平的时候，有可能跳过某样影响他全部生命的东西、跳过他一辈子每天都在想念的东西吗？说“每天”是夸张了点，但亦相去不远。事实上我用不着“回忆”哈特莉，她无时无刻不在我左右。她是我的终，也是我的始；是我的阿拉法，也是我是俄梅嘎。

游离子2019-01-18假若受到真心的膜拜，即使一颗犬牙也会闪闪发光。崇拜的客体被赋予了能量，这是实物论中被验证了的简单常识。在艺术领域里，谎言可以和真理一样予人启迪。说到底什么是真理？我们知道自己不过是一群装模作样的人，是赝品，是一个个错觉堆砌而成的东西。你感觉过什么，想过什么，做过什么，自己能否完全确认？

游离子2019-01-17星星似乎在移动，人们仿佛能感受到夜空吱吱呀呀地做着巨大的转动；只是现在不再有人的知觉可以把握甚至感受到的事件，不再有流星、陨星。一切都在运动，一切都在变化，虽然看得见却又那么神秘。我不再是我，而是一颗动弹不得的原子，原子中的原子，一个势必会着迷的观众，一面反映真实的镜子，它静悄悄地映照出沸腾喧闹的夜空，无穷无尽的金灿灿的星星。
