那是2002年的复活节,我开车沿着风光秀丽的十七哩路的海岸线上兜风散心, 中途停在著名的景点, 被无数人照过像的孤寂的柏树(THE Lone Cypress) 附近。
拾级而下, 来到孤柏树旁的亭子里, 几近黄昏, 游人稀落。那时我刚到加州, 第一次见到生根于光秃的巨石上的这棵柏树, 深为它不屈坚韧的生命力所感动!
在我的左侧,忽然听到一个男人的热烈的声音: Will you marry me?( 嫁给我好吗?) 转过头去, 见一位非常英俊的小伙子单膝跪地, 拿着一枚钻戒在向他的女友求婚! 我只是在电影中见过这样的镜头!
他的女友也许是太为意外, 停顿了片刻, 然后哭着, 笑着也跪了下去, “Yes! Yes” 是那么的热却! 他为她戴上了戒指. 然后在我们的掌声中, 紧紧的相拥在一起! 我在匆忙之中拿出相机, 拍下了小伙子求婚的这个镜头, 然后冲洗出来, 效果还不错,就放进了我的影集! 其实我好想找到他们, 因为当时他们也没有亲朋在场去见证这个特别的时刻! 一个陌生人却珍藏了他们一生中难忘的记忆!
那个男孩是好有心思的选择他求婚的地点. 在这棵孤柏树旁! 想想数百年之前, 一颗种子无意飘落在岩石之巅, 发芽, 成长, 与海风海啸抗衡, 终于扎下根基, 展开华美的树冠, 成为让世人叹为观止的美丽风景!
愿他们的人生与爱情也如此!
Will You Marry Me
By Alabama With Jann Arden
今日我来到此地,我的内心万分的紧张
而只有你明了那深入我内心的言词
或许它是如此简单明了,可我还是不停的在重复练习
我无法明了为何我会如此惶恐,但我还是要说
嫁给我好吗?
就这样让我俩的爱与人生交织在一起
和我厮守在一起好吗?
直到永远
只愿为你单膝跪地,戴上这枚戒指好吗?
请嫁给我好吗?
嫁给我好吗?
能与你守在一起那就是我能活下去的理由
但在此刻我向主坦白
尽管我爱你,老天也能证明
可更深的我却害怕你会拒绝我,说你愿意好么
嫁给我好吗?
就这样让我俩的爱与人生交织在一起
和我厮守在一起好吗?
直到永远
只愿为你单膝跪地,戴上这枚戒指好吗?
请嫁给我好吗?
嫁给我好吗?
只愿为你单膝跪地
只愿为你单膝跪地
戴上这只戒指好吗?
我会戴上你的那枚戒指
请嫁给我好吗?
嫁给我好吗?

心长了太多的皱纹,这个故事让我激动了41秒就停住了。想起曾经比这更浪漫的故事们。
也就是才6个多月前吧,小帅哥david也曾如此这般来过一次,三个月后就是好多封声泪俱下的感情要挟恐吓信,浪漫总有点黑色幽默的后续。
想来,那女子哪天若是身残志坚了,那男子若是再上演一出这样的言情戏,倒是不错的SM脚本。我那天在医院里几乎也经历了这样的言情剧目。 - Re: 给你们讲个真的故事!posted on 02/02/2007
小时候,一次到紫竹院玩,无意中走到树阴浓处,忽然看见长椅上一对男女,女的坐着,男的仰面躺在她腿上。(八成她也是个 D)
那时知道有谈恋爱一说,但不知还有这么谈的。吓的赶紧走开了。
几十年前过去,不知他们是不是找到归宿了。:-) - posted on 02/02/2007
给大家道晚安以前, 贴一首 July 喜欢的e.e.cummings 诗吧!
somewhere i have never traveled By e.e.cummings
somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully, mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
“有一处我从未去过”
[冰山译 ]
有一处我从未去过,未曾体验而
令人欣喜,你双眼特有的沉静:
和你最纤弱的姿势里是环抱我之物,
或是因为太近我不能触摸之物
你最轻巧的一瞥将轻易地展开我
尽管我已如合起的五指
你总像春一瓣瓣地展开我
(神秘而巧妙地触)她的第一朵玫瑰
或许你想合上我,我即和
我的生命迅速地合拢,漂亮地,
一如花心的幻觉里
无边雪来片片寒悸
这世上我们看不到什么
与你浓情的纤弱之力媲美:其质地
以其天国之色迫使我
用每一呼吸表现死与永恒
我不知道是什么让你合
与开;只是我隐隐的什么懂得
你眼睛的声音比所有的玫瑰还丰厚
没谁,甚至雨,也没有这样的小手

again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz

我喜欢我的身体,当它和你的在一起。
它是如此全新的事物。
肌肉更有力,神经更活跃。
我喜欢你的身体。喜欢它做的一切,
喜欢它的种种方式。我喜欢触摸你身体的脊柱
及其骨骼,喜欢触摸那种
战栗、结实和柔滑,还有我将
一再而再亲吻的
地方,我喜欢吻各种各样的你,
我喜欢——缓慢抚摩——你带电的毛皮上——
那令人震颤的茸毛——还有什么东西
出现在开裂的肉体……眼睛就像大片的“爱的面包屑",
也许我就喜欢我身体下面你的颤栗
你是如此全新

这是浪漫剧的高潮. 浪漫一定要有高潮, 也意味着她很快它就结束了. 接下来的剧叫做commitment(or investment), hopefully, we get rewarded when we get old.

ROME (Reuters) - Call it the eternal embrace.
ADVERTISEMENT
Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led the team on their dig near the northern city of Mantova.
"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are hugging."
Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.
"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.
"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special."
A laboratory will now try to determine the couple's age at the time of death and how long they had been buried. - Re: Lone Cypressposted on 02/07/2007
A pair of human skeletons...
Is there any mention regarding their sex? Homo or Hetero?
Sorry, just kidding. Touching! - Re: Lone Cypressposted on 02/07/2007
读过一本 乔治. 桑的传记。深深触动我的是肖邦的临终遗言:她曾对我说, 我将只会死在她的怀中.(She had said to me that I will die in no arms but hers.).
他们死在对方的怀抱! 相拥抱了6000 年!

记得卡西莫多和埃斯米拉达吗?
另外一个说不定是活埋陪葬的。

If we remove the rosy, romantic light shining on those skeletons (sorry), we would immediately realize that the two were buried alive.
Should that be the case, the two may not be lovers at all when they were still living. They were probably two young people, one male, the other female, being sacrificed. Let us hope that they died without fear of death. - Re: Lone Cypressposted on 02/07/2007

浮生: 这些是他们在我的BLOG 的留言:
.俺还是那句话,因为瞬间,所以成就了永恒。
.Died young and buried alive! A bit cruel for observers, but they should have no regret with the eternity, young or old, life or death!
.地老天荒~~~
.Even death couldn't do them apart.
六千多年前?被安葬?没看见“安”。倒是看见了“葬”。但愿他们是同时死的。可别是陪葬。也可别是被捉了奸又被活埋的。反正六千多年前的爱情概念(如果有的话)应该是跟肖邦的大不相同的。你只要看看多少在美国的知识分子邮购或者回国闪电式结婚就应该明白爱情的商业性质了。
.我觉得他们是被活埋的被谋杀的

Because their arms were locked onto each other. Apparently they were holding on to each other while they were being buried. It is unlikely that the one who buried them would arrange their arms this way should they died separately then buried together, unless it involved some kind of ritual. We should know about this soon enough, I guess. - Re: Lone Cypressposted on 02/08/2007
