Tristan 能够听到自己内心的声音，与自然和谐相处，被那么多人爱，爱那么多人，活得长，还死得其所。所以他是传奇。
想起沈从文的《边城》。田园牧歌的生活，主要人物都是好人，这种环境下的爱情悲剧只能是兄弟同时爱上一个女人？
In a remote part of Montana at the early time of 1900 Colonel William Ludlow and wife Isabel had three sons Alfred, Tristan, Samuel. They lived with One Stab, a Cree friend, and former outlaw Decker, Decker's Cree wife Pet, daughter Isabel Two. The brothers loved the same girl Susannah. Samuel, Isabel Two, Susannah died young. Tristan had two children with Isabel Two, the elder boy named Samuel Decker.
One Stab: Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legend.
One Stab: I remember when he was a boy, I thought Tristan would never live to be an old man. I was wrong about that. I was wrong about many things. It was those who loved him most who died young. He was a rock they broke themselves against, however much he tried to protect them. But he had his honor and long life and he saw his children grow and raise their own families.Tristan died in 1963 in the moon of the popping trees. He was last seen up in the north country, where the hunting was still good. His grave is unmarked, but it does not matter. He had always lived in the borderland, anyway. Somewhere between this world and the other. lt was a good death.
As evening fell, a maiden stood at the edge of a wood, in her hands lay the reins of a stallion. And ne'er I'd seen a girl as fair, heard a gentler voice anywhere, whispered, "Alas..." She belonged, belonged to another, another forever. Yes, she belonged to the twilight and mist.
