Hanyi在巴黎的新居, 跟之前在郊外的大屋相比, 當然顯得小了. 不過, 住在大城市本來就這樣啊, 況且兩個人住也夠用了, 亦應有盡有的 :) 如果說每個人都有他 gifted的地方, Hanyi也許就是 gifted wife了 :) 很開心見到你們!!
再一次到龐比度藝術館. 上次是04年4月和家姐一起來的, 這麼快就兩年喇? 漪屏約了朋友, 先走了. 我一個人站在這個museum, 怎麼突然有點不開心呢.
這次才認真的逛裡面的書店, 很多design的書, 對畫畫沒太大興趣的我, 喜歡看奇奇怪怪的設計. 看到 4本書分別介紹怎樣摺信封, table presentation, 立體包裝, 還有一本... aiya 忘了咯 hehee~ 是 "設計人員必備" 的書呢, 呵呵~ 很想買一本回家慢慢看, 一向很喜歡只用一張紙摺來摺去就摺出一個立體的東西,,, hm,,, 例如是pizza hut的外賣紙盒, 甚至簡單至Mc記的外賣飲品手挽, 很有趣, 他們是怎樣設計出來的呢?~ 但這書又重又貴, 將來有機會才買吧~
最後, 在兒童部買了一本書, "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O", 是Shel Silverstein的作品. 我想很多人都看過他的書, 卻也許沒有留意他的名字, 最出名的是 "The Giving Tree", 另外還有 "The Missing Piece". 忘記在甚麼機會之下, 看過 "The Missing Piece", 有點感動又有點無奈的. 這天看到跟它同系列的 "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O", 而且是翻譯成法文版的, 站在那裡一口氣看完, 很集中的看, 更被他感動了. 心裡暗叫, "是啊! why not!" 這書好貴, 但買了. 這些書本身是寫給小孩子看的, 但我看到的都不是他們可以理解的事, 不知道, 如果8歲時的我有機會看過這本書, 會有甚麼感覺? 可以去看看 Shel Silverstein 的 official website 和他的書一樣有趣.
THE GIVING TREE
"Once there was a tree . . . and she loved a little boy."
So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk . . . and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave.
This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
THE MISSING PIECE
It was missing a piece.
And it was not happy.
So it set off in search of its missing piece.
And as it rolled it sang this song -
Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
Hi-dee-ho, here I go,
Lookin' for my missin' piece.
What it finds on its search for the missing piece is ...
THE MISSING PIECE MEETS THE BIG O
The missing piece sat alone waiting for someone to come along and take it somewhere....
The different ones it encounters - and what it discovers in its helplessness - are portrayed with simplicity and compassion in the words and drawings of Shel Silverstein.
A piece of comment I found somewhere in a site --
Silverstein's 1976 picture book, The Missing Piece, like The Giving Tree, was subject to varying interpretations. It chronicles the adventures of a circle with a wedge of itself missing, who goes along singing and searching for that missing part. But after the circle finds the right wedge, he decides he was happier on the search - without the missing piece - than he is with it. As Anne Roiphe explained in The New York Times Book Review (2 May 1976), The Missing Piece can be read in the same way as "the fellow at the singles bar explaining why life is better if you don't commit yourself to anyone for too long - the line goes that too much togetherness turns people into bores - that creativity is preserved by freedom to explore from one relationship to another... This fable can also be interpreted to mean that no one should try to find all the answers, no one should hope to fill all the hopes in themselves, achieve total transcendental harmony or psychic order because a person without a search, loose ends, internal conflicts and external goals becomes to smooth to enjoy or know what's going on. Too much satisfaction blocks exchange with the outside." Silverstein published a sequel, The Missing Piece Meets The Big O, in 1981. The latter book is told from the missing piece's point of view; as in the original, the book's protagonist discovers the value of self-sufficiency.
我一向都是這麼的霸道, 那又如何~
