so, that's why they're interested in National Geography . . .
remember, the English Patient ?
they can colonize external Land but not internal one . . . :)
maybe i am wrong :)
Only "rebels" look into their hearts and soul :)

like all your comments ..... you all inspire me to say more even though i am working now :)
"gaze" has been a big subject in film studies, which overlaps a lot with lit...
modern technology has turned people into visual animals.....
considering the time when that foto was taken, i am positive that it must have been taken by an European or American ....
what comes in mind now??
Orientalism!!!!!

i personally think, what's beneath Feminism is the awakening of senses and to live to her fullest of life as a woman, as a Man (interesting, when i put Man here), more than asking for "being equal" . . . a man who does not search for his soul is still "inferior" and new to his internal landscape . . . such as Joe Wu in your novel . . .
this photo is classic, not only because it was taken back then and historical, but it captures something in which words are meaningless . . . as i always say, the beauty of mystery . . . depending on our imagination to "interpret" it . two little fawns see their reflections in each other's eyes on the surface of water . . .
這幅照片裏，是一個Boy 和一個 Nude還有他們的膚色, 如果換成成人的Male, Female，或換成別的膚色，想想會是什麽效果？？？ 這張照片裏我以為更體現了男女平等發生在同樣 innocent的眼睛之間。。。這張照片震動我的是自然與一樣 innocent 的眼睛，自然的 Boy 和自然的 Nude，他們的姿態和眼神的自然與和諧，毫不設防，傳達著某種難以言明的交流，抑或什麽都沒有交流，隻是一個瞬間的美。。。使照片很傳神，神即很原始很自然的一種不設防，這種瞬間發生在一個健康的 Boy 和一個健康的 Nude之間。。。一個“健康”的Boy這樣看一個Nude很自然，一個“健康”的Nude沒有任何羞澀或忸怩，為什麽？其實以女人的心態來說，渴望被gaze and gaze back，但是前提是對什麽樣的眼睛和眼神，對象很重要，你們看到過那種眼睛嗎？讓你們有願望可以赤裸裸而無所拘束快樂表達“野性”的眼睛。。。這張照片裏包含了很多未言明的美感與吸引。。。另外這張照片的場景在窗邊，很有意味，窗戶，眼睛也是窗戶，還有窗戶的形狀，這樣的方格形狀，透過拘束，Boy的眼神，Nude 露出的是上半身。。。如果換成全裸，會是什麽效果？？？所以希望，希望在哪裏？男女平等在陽光下怎麽可能？？？即使在夜裏，現代人多是“各懷鬼胎”，少有不設防的“純淨”，怎麽可能男女平等？？？即使在窗戶邊也是一個 Boy and Nude。。。The fuel of hope is innocence...
作舟的詩抓住了這張照片的關鍵，表達了一個 Nature Boy 的自然，詩人這樣不設防的回憶，給我的感覺很藝術很美很動人，什麽都沒有多想，隻是覺得那一刻很自然。。。

the female nude gazing back in the foto seems very interesting to me....
modern lit. & visual productions used to be dominated by male gaze, that is, female is being looked at, like an object....
part of feminist lit. was to "gaze back," right??
i was struck by the time when the foto was taken, and the gazing back of the nude....male is not dominant, but only a boy figure who looks inncently....
thus, my own memory ... :)
thanx!

love the purity of the poem . . .vividly and naturally
capturing the atmosphere
of the ineffable moment
of gazing - - - eyes'
soundless communicating
cannot help changing Philippe Denis' poem
as the following - - - some feeling alike
"daylight confession . . .into
the teeth of time . . ."

thanx, zf, for your artistic response!!!!
that vintage foto definitely inspired me......taken in 1915!!!!
詩裏有很多可解讀的趣味。。。喜歡最後的 “O m”， 讀來像是於末了發出的一聲很愜意的聲音，傳遞著“新概念”，“_ _ O m”的新概念… 於TIME裏，一切不複，“O m”生生不息。。。
? - imagination – language – imagination – new language – imagination …… - ?
如果 language 不限定在語言，而是表達表意表達感覺或意識等等的任何一種形式。。。“language is the needle”，穿透鴻蒙。。。如果不是TIME 的prisoner ，世界對他來說，皆為“混沌”，所以整首詩讀來給我有種穿透力的感覺。。。

z.z. yes! love what you said here and enjoy reading this experimental work!
we can, at least, we try to visualize everything around us, visible or invisible, tangible or intangible, of form or formless. . . through feeling and imagination, the Gift. . . . e.g. when we say time, "irreversible', that's just because we, as individual, cannot see recurrences in our life; however, to the eyes of “history”, birth and death are recurring, things like mistakes or wars are repeating . . . stories always there, but carried on by different individuals from the same group of living creatures, that we call humankind . . . endless journeys witnessed by Time . . . or something we call Time.

thanx, y.y.!!
"conceptualism" has its interesting elements.....but, it's made of "words" after all.... :)
"time" is one of those intriguingconcepts that can make us sound quite "foolish" at times.... :)
