A quotation.
"The best moment in reading are when you come across something...a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things that you'd thought special, particular to you, and here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And...it's as if a hand...has come out...and taken yours."-- From Hector.
一個六十歲的老男人,是一所中學的老師,和八個年輕的男孩在一起念詩歌讀文學。唯一的安慰,可能就是每次借帶他們回家的名義,給他們自己的「benedictions".
他原本想有一輛裝滿書的車,環遊世界。卻最終在一次車禍中離開人世。或許,這就是他的一生。
求而不可得,漫無邊際的孤獨,唯有書本能給自己安慰。
可是,那始終不是柔軟的,有溫度的,真實的手,不是嗎?
