最近被“击中”了几次。一次是看到Richard Ford的“当地球消失时” -Nothing in the world is as hopeful as knowing a woman you like is somewhere thinking about only you. Conversely, there is no badness anywhere as acute as the badness of no woman out in the world thinking about you. Or worse. That one has quit because of some bone-headedness on your part. It is like looking out an airplane window and finding the earth has disappeared. No loneliness can compete with that.当时心里有一种痛不可当的感觉。
I think I was an romantic kind of person before… use to like 阴雨缠绵的资产阶级小情调;-) Maybe it’s age/ I’ve reached 不惑之年, and more maybe it’s the life we live in this country/USA, I am no longer romantic…. Daily life is pretty much about working, surviving, struggling… I lost my soft spot long time ago until I read your beautiful prose, which brings back my that old soft spot which has hardened and may have grown cyst through all these years;-) anyway, to love and to be loved is a wonderful feeling... I wish someday I’d re-find my soft spot to make myself feel young again….
