• "None that I love more than myself. You are a councillor; if you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the presence, we will not hand a rope more - use your authority. If you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hours, if it so hap."

  莎士比亞William Shakespeare；1564～1616，柴可夫斯基Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 1840～1893，
  他們生活在不同的年代國度，莎士比亞，文藝複興時代， 柴可夫斯基，後浪漫主義時代， 他們都能感知透視人的靈魂，寫在他們的劇作和音樂裏。
  
  每個時代總有少數不一樣的人，他們會派去吃苦在前去承受痛苦，偉大的天才，偉人注定是這樣。　都說真正的藝術家他們擁有第三隻眼睛，專門透視人的靈魂？ 寫實放大人的靈魂， 也許因為藝術家們有普通人沒有的這第三隻眼睛， 上帝要他們痛苦承受更多, 要他們發瘋去感受，這是他們的使命， 梵高是這樣，Rambrant，Turner....等都是這樣， 人生的痛苦或不幸，也許是上帝對人的另一種《獎賞》和考驗，讓你感受另一種人生境界吧， 熬不過去就自認倒黴，熬過去了就什麽事也沒了，是另一種landscape。藝術的魅力可能就是天才們放大無數風景：可以看到的，看不到，感官感知的，心領神會的，
  
  莎士比亞的書還沒讀多少，看過些電影，有點不敢多讀，Ｘ－ｒａｙ太厲害，何止是Ｘ光，簡直就是激光。慢慢掃盲掃描８。
