Sad and Lonesome

loneliness and separation...

給傷口的信

Thanks to you, I have come to see a profound significance in relations I never dreamt of considering before, an old lady's affection for a small dog, the Waterhouses and their retriever, the curious bond between Offal and Snig, the partners in the hardware shop on the front. Even the close-ups in the films no longer disgust nor amuse me. On the contrary, they sometimes make me cry; knowing you has made me understand.

幸虧有你，使我從以前不曾夢想了解的關系裡，看到深邃的意義：老婦人對小狗的感情，那對夫婦和他們的尋回犬，路旁五金店的合伙老板。甚至電影裡的特寫鏡頭都不再使我惡心或發笑。相反，這些有時讓我哭泣﹔明白是你讓我懂得了。
