│關於巴黎：黃金時代與懷舊│
住來英國一年半，遲遲沒有機會拜訪巴黎，即使倫敦與它的距離如此地近。
上星期，我終於去了巴黎。
那幾天，我一直在走路、喝咖啡、寫作、攝影；走路、喝咖啡、寫作、攝影......太多展覽要看了，但我選擇放空，好好感受這座城市─想像海明威曾經逛過那間書店；想像沙特與西蒙波娃曾經坐在那裏寫作；想像1920 Golden Age時代的作家與藝術家如何陶醉於巴黎的美好。
我沒有像《午夜巴黎》裡的Gil那麼幸運，半夜走在路上巧遇科爾·波特與費茲傑羅（雖然我確實很有膽地大半夜從市區走回蒙馬特......危險舉止請勿模仿），但光是想像他們曾經在此，而我也在那裡得到尋覓很久的答案。這一切，都值得了。
"I can never decide whether Paris is more beautiful by day or by night."
"No, you can't, you couldn't pick one. I mean I can give you a checkmate argument for each side. You know, I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can't. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights, I mean come on, there's nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the hottest spot in the universe." - Midnight in Paris
我愛巴黎 - by day and by night。
