遊 園 依 香 P e r f u m e P a v i l i o n




■  花  園
T h e  G A R D E N


這花園裡,玫瑰百合人人喜愛,茉莉只給晚上。 蘋婆 Sterculia monosperma 的果實為七巧果,味美如蛋黃,但開的花味如屎尿摻上糞土,方圓之內的居民紛紛走避,要求遷移; 蒟蒻 A. konjac 可口,同屬的巨花魔芋 Amorphophallus titanum 若開花,是各處植物園的大事,人們爭相走告,為觀賞世界上最大的不分支花序奇觀,而它以屍臭的味道回應這件事。

世界上最大的分枝花序是貝葉棕 Corypha umbraculifera,世界上最大的單獨一朵花是阿諾爾地大花草 Rafflesia arnoldii,花的臭腐都在比厲害。 這世界,就是一座花園,我們走進花園裡,並不知道何時相遇什麼,表面上也無從知曉接下來的滋味; ˊ這應和四季更佚之風,而通通在花園裡。

香味的花園 Perfume Garden, The Chameleons 這麼稱呼這首歌,我想以上所述,應該就是他們想要表達的意思。

Heavenly Lovers over the Magpies Bridge

纖雲弄巧,飛星傳恨,銀漢迢迢暗度。
金風玉露一相逢,便勝卻人間無數。

柔情似水,佳期如夢,忍顧鵲橋歸路。
兩情若是久長時,又豈在朝朝暮暮。

【鵲橋仙】 秦 觀 ( Qin Guan, 1049-1100, The Northern Song Dynasty)

 P h o e b e married Pollux and bore him a son, named either Mnesileos or Mnasinous.

 Phoebe and Hilaeira were priestesses of Athena and Artemis, and betrothed to Idas and Lynceus, the sons of Aphareus. Castor and Pollux were charmed by their beauty and carried them off. When Idas and Lynceus tried to rescue their brides-to-be they were both slain, but Castor himself fell. Pollux persuaded Zeus to allow him to share his immortality with his brother.

☆ 黯 夜 西 向 響 導 Erebus, Hesperides _and ☆ Palinurus


Hygrophila difformis, Xanthyris flaveolata, Papilio blumei fruhstorferi, Papilio palinurus (Emerald Swallowtail), Unzela japix, Thysania agrippina, Marpesia petreus. Erebus macrops, Sterculia monosperma (Seven Sisters' Fruit), Nephele hespera, Colax apulus, Darapsa choerilus (Azalea Sphinx.)

Erebus :
In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/ (Greek: Ἔρεβος, deep darkness, shadow), representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos. Erebusb fathered several other deities with Nyx; depending on the source of the mythology, this union includes Aether, Hemera, the Hesperides, Hypnos, the Moirai, Geras, Styx, Charon, and Thanatos. Erebus is also used of a region of the Greek underworld where the dead pass immediately after dying, and is sometimes used interchangeably with Tartarus.

Hesperides :
The Hesperides /hɛˈspɛrɪdiːz/ (Greek: Ἑσπερίδες) are nymphs who tend a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world, located near Libya or the Atlas mountains in North Africa at the edge of the encircling Oceanus, the world-ocean. The nymphs are said to be the daughters of Hesperus.

Palinurus :
In Roman mythology, especially Virgil's Aeneid, is the helmsman of Aeneas's ship. Later authors used him as a general type of navigator or guide.

Nephele :
Nephele (/ˈnɛfəˌli/; Greek: Νεφέλη, from νέφος nephos, cloud; Latinized to Nubes) was a cloud nymph who figured prominently in the story of Phrixus and Helle.

Sterquilinus :
In Roman mythology, Sterquilinus (manure; also Stercutus or Sterculius) was a god of fertilization. He may have been equivalent to Picumnus.
