What's in a name? What's in a life?
"What's in a name?
"That thing called rose, without this name will smell as sweet."
憂傷的茱麗葉站在夜晚的陽台上, 感嘆著....羅密歐的名字不重要, 玫瑰的名字不重要. 名字和本質畫不上等號. 茱麗葉的感嘆讓數百年後的 Umberto Eco 寫 The Name of the Rose, 一本我花了一個學期, 每一個星期一下午上課研讀的書, 一本我喜歡的書.
.
What's in a life?
一堆和人生相關的聯想...
Music is the mission of my life - Mikhail Pletnev (1957-present)
My life is my message - Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
My profession, said Sand, is to be free' - George Sand (1804-1876)
張懸唱著: my life will find its way.... 我的人生, 如果也要一個主題, 看起來是還沒有吧.
.
What's in death?
蕭邦和王爾德在巴黎的 Pere Lachaise 墓園當鄰居. 沙特和西蒙波娃這對戀人一同長眠在巴黎的蒙帕那斯墓園, 周圍還有 Susan Sontag, Samuel Beckett, 小津安二郎.
阿根廷的艾薇塔總統夫人, 以動人的 Don't Cry for me Argentina 的演講在總統府陽台上打動了廣場上的人民, 三十二歲死於癌症, 但屍體被完整地保存, 數年後因為教會顧慮反對她丈夫貝隆總統的激進份子破壞她的遺體, 還讓死後的她旅行到了歐洲, 在米蘭的墓園裡隱姓埋名偷睡了14年, 最近才又回到布宜諾斯艾利斯位於 Recoleta 的墓園, 我去年去拜訪她的"住家". 據說遺體依然完好, 美麗依舊.
.
也許人生在死亡後仍不會結束, 還是有鄰居, 還是可以旅行.

adding to my life... a song by jon bon jovi called "it's my life"....
the chorus goes like this:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like an open highway
I break and say
"I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
so.... be sure to live while we are alive.
