亲爱的朋友，
祝好！非常抱歉，今天比平时晚起了好几个钟头，给你写信也就晚了好几个小时。
昨天果然看完了《Flowers for Algernon》，是晚上和母亲坐着地铁去看望徐老师的时候读完的。读完之后，觉得心情依旧沉甸甸的，像是有什么东西挥之不去，缠绕在心间，像是乌云密布，电闪雷鸣之间酝酿着一场暴雨。不知为何，突然想起朱自清于《罗马》随笔中提到的济慈之墓，墓碑上的诗句最后一行是这样写着，“这里躺着一个人，他的名字是用水写的。”朱自清做解“末一行是速朽的意思，但他的名字正所谓‘不废江河万古流’，又岂是当时人所料的道德。”我对于济慈并未有太多的了解，还未读过几句他的诗句，但这一墓志铭却深深打动了我。
Here lies one whose name was written in water.
我想起一月七日的那个晚上，我刚刚读完凡尔纳的《Jounery to the Centre of Earth》，翻开这本书的第一页，上面摘抄于柏拉图《理想国》写的几句话。
Any one who has commen sense will remember that the bewilderment of eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eyes, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light. And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den.
我不能说我全懂了，但又好像模模糊糊地懂了些，那种感觉让我更加深刻地理解了书中Charlie的困惑，他曾从黑暗走向光明，又从光明向黑暗坠落。他的困惑，他的痛苦，他的挣扎，他的不甘，和他的泪水。当他从懵懂走向明朗，对于过去的思索，对于自我的探讨。他说，
The universe was exploding, each particle away from the next, hurtling us into dark and lonely space, eternally tearing us away from each other-child out of the womb, friend away from friend, moving from each other, each through his own pathway to the goal-box of solitary death.
我想也许是时候尝试着去读一些哲学书了。
昨天看了王家卫的《一代宗师》，怎么说呢，感觉像是制作精美的MV，却不像是电影了。极为频繁地使用配乐，摄像唯美的画面以及意味深长的台词，每一处都很好，却拼不出一部好的电影。不知你是否看过，看完电影唯几的印象，一个就是【章子怡美哭！女神prprpr】，另一个就是原来“念念不忘必有回响”，“有些人成了面子，有些人成了里子。”和“世间所有的相遇都是久别重逢。”是出自于王家卫的这部电影。通过好友的提醒，回家翻了翻王家卫的微博，看到访谈的回答时简直吓了一跳，史上最文艺的访谈果然不负其名。
不过我也同时觉得自己是在进步的，蹭了几节的电影课，学了点皮毛，竟也可以看出点玩意。第一场叶问的雨戏，以及接下来的好几场雨戏，其实都是导演的选择。因着下雨，观众们便可以极为轻松地看得出武者之间的气与势。
祝一切都好。
一月十八日
