「1284」太阳照常升起

"……处在一个用这么简单的办法就能取悦于人的国度里,倒是怪惬意的。在西班牙,你事先无法猜测一个侍者是否会感谢你。在法国,一切都建筑在这种赤裸裸的金钱基础上。在这样的国家里生活是最简单不过的了。谁也不会为了某种暧昧的原因而跟你交朋友,从而使关系弄得很复杂。你要讨人喜欢,只要略微破费点就行。我花了一点点钱,这侍者就喜欢我了。他赏识我这种可贵的品德。他会欢迎我再来。有朝一日我要再到那里用餐,他会欢迎我,要我坐到归他侍候的桌子边去。这种喜欢是真诚的,因为有坚实的基础。我确实回到法国了……"

当某些曾经相悖的东西被人们认可默许时,那它就是主流,悖论有时也会成为真理,你要明白没有什么不可能的。固守陈规却只能招来人们肆意的把玩与增添茶余饭后的谈资。那些所谓的曾经早已不在,你刻意的固守也只是在深深地自我麻痹与催眠,相信什么梦醒一切都会变好重来。真见鬼,这是什么话,还是想办法清醒清醒吧,看看现在都是什么时代了。
第一代人都有着为之伤感迷惘的种种,还在深陷其中的你,要明白生命还在周而复始的轮回,惟有大地永存,太阳照常升起。

"……当第三头公牛放出来的时候,先进场的那三头牛(两头公牛和一头犍牛)并头站在一起,把角对准新来的公牛。几分钟后,犍牛和新来的公牛交上朋友了,使它镇静下来,成为它们之中的一员。等最后两头公牛释放出来后,牛群都站在一起。
被抵伤的那头犍牛爬起身来站在石墙边。没有一头公牛去接近它,它也无意参加到它们这一伙里去……"
---《太阳照常升起》海明威

现实中,你又在扮演着那头犍牛?

抛开文中的三位主要人物(巴恩斯、勃莱特、科恩),我却由衷的喜欢比尔,因为正如他所说的:
"我们不要怀疑,兄弟。我们不要用猿猴的爪子伸到母鸡窝里去刺探神圣的奥秘。我们还是依靠信仰,接受现状,只要说——我要你跟我一起说——可我们说什么呀,兄弟?"
……
 "让我告诉你。我们要说,而且就我个人来说,要自豪地说——我要你跪下和我一起说,兄弟。在这辽阔的山野之间,谁也不必羞于下跪。记住,丛林是上帝最早的圣殿。让我们跪下宣布:'不要吃那只母鸡,——它是门肯。'"

It's been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed
And the scars are still there in the mirror
Everyday that she gets herself dressed

Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
And the fear is now a docile beast
If you ask her why she is still running
She'll tell you it makes her complete

I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life

It's a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
But they will never get a piece of my soul

And now I'm still learning the lesson
To awake when I hear the call
And if you ask me why I am still running
I'll tell you I run for us all

I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life

And someday if they tell you about it
If the darkness knocks on your door
Remember her, remember me
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers, running for more

I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend

I run for hope, I run to feel
I run for the truth for all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife
For you and me my friend
I run for life

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend
I run for life
