63歲讀到 Henry James 的這段話，真是點滴在心頭。林以亮在《前言》中說原先聽到的話是："啊，你還年輕，你有的是時間，好好地生活！" ----《奉使記》趙銘譯，香港：今日世界，1969/1975三版，頁11。
寫點我對同學M君的懷念。
寫點我對同學M君的懷念。
想起大三的室友M君。他長得很高、帥、壯、卷髮(我知道幾位學妹都對他動了感情；有的已在天堂。)
我們最大的壯舉是1973年暑假的武陵四秀 (桃山等)登山，見《東海大學第17屆畢業紀念冊 化工系》，204頁。
M君1975年畢業之後到美國留學。回來之後到清華教過書，也許只1~2年。他跟我們說，1978年？旅行南韓"漢城"的市公車，車掌與司機的溝通方式是車掌拍車體.....
我上一次跟他見過面是近二十幾年前，在臺大校門口。他告訴我某家企業的獲利率不錯，可加入。後來我知道那是多層次行銷，類似老鼠會方式。
Henry James
“Europe was best described, to his mind, as an elaborate engine for dissociating the confined American from that indispensable knowledge, and was accordingly only rendered bearable by these occasional stations of relief, traps for the arrest of wandering western airs.”
“Live all you can: it's a mistake not to. It doesn't matter what you do in particular, so long as you have had your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?”
―from THE AMBASSADORS (1903) by Henry James
"Live all you can — it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?.. What one loses one loses; make no mistake about that...The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.. Live!"
--from "The Ambassadors" (1903)

"儘量生活；不儘量生活就是錯誤。不管你作什麼都沒關係，只要你能有你的生活。如果你沒有生活，你還有什麼？......一失不可復得，這一點必須切記。......適當的時刻是一個幸能掌握的任何時刻。......要生活。"
