†
當我們注視『美』的時候
心裡的渴求是什麼?
我們渴求自己也那般美麗。
我們以為美麗會帶來快樂 . . Menschliches, Allzumenschliches

尼采 Nietzsche ( 15 Oktober 1844- 25 August 1900 in Weimar -Mental breakdown ε strokes)



" So many clouds I've seen. So many birds I've seen. They never will come back.
So many words we've said. So many books we read. It never will come back.
How many years we'll live? How many things we'll give? What happens if we go? "

_ A Drinking Song _
from " The Green Helmet and Other Poems", verse and plays, 1910
text by William Butler Yeats (13 Jun. 1865_County Dublin– 28 Jan. 1939_ Menton, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, France)
sung by Pieter Nooten

WINE comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

◎ 飲 酒 歌 _ by 葉 慈

酒到嘴邊啜飲
愛由眼神傳遞
這是我們老死前
都該知道的道理
我舉起酒杯到嘴邊
我看著你，我嘆息

「美」教人無法忍受，它驅使人們絕望─
它讓我們於一剎那間瞥見永恆
而我們卻希望將此「剎那的瞥見」
延伸至一整個生命。
