47 自己的經(jīng)歷
This is a record of your time. This is your movie. Live out your dream and fantasies. Whisper questions to the Sphinx at night. Sit for hours at sidewalk cafes and drink with your heroes. Make pilgrimages to Mougins and Abiquiu. Look up and down.
這是你走過的路程,這是你自己的電影。別沉浸于自己的理美夢(mèng)和幻想;晚上向斯芬克斯低聲發(fā)問,坐在路邊的咖啡館和你心目中的英雄小酌,去穆吉山和阿比丘山朝圣,上下求索。
Believe in the unknown for it is there. Live in many places. Live with flowers and music and book and painting and sculpture. Keep a read of your time, Learn to read well. Learn to listen and speak well. Know your country, know your history, know yourself.
