Gang bought Duras' 'The lover' after my recommendation, which I took after Jady's recommendation. A tiny little hard cover you can sit down and finish whithin a day, with warning of major mood swings afterwards, maybe.
I picked up Hermann Hess' Demian, which was across the shelf of Thomas Mann, who wrote the preface for Demian. Thomas began by saying 'the last time I shook hands with Hess...'. They were intimate friends or literary companions I assume and even after their era their books were grouped together as neighbors. I find that a little touching, and remarkable. (One more reason not to categorise in alphabeticals, though it's easier to locate)
The name 'Sinclair' = light, while 'Demian' = demon. Their friendship is questionable and the novel's about awakening to the sub-conscious and individuality. The crazy thing about Demian is, it's written in 3 weeks!!! (albeit citation needed)
Direct quote from wiki:
Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth is a Bildungsroman by Hermann Hesse, first published in 1919, but a prologue was added in 1960. Demian was first published under the pseudonym "Emil Sinclair", the name of the narrator of the story, but Hesse was later revealed to be the author. The name "Emil Sinclair" was chosen because he was a friend of the poet Novalis, whom Hesse adored.
In it, Emil Sinclair is a young boy who was raised in a bourgeois home described as a Scheinwelt. "Scheinwelt" is a play of words and means world of light as well as world of illusion. Through the novel, accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate Max Demian, he descends from and revolts against the superficial ideals of this world, eventually awakening into a realization of self.
I watched 'The Prestige' (yes Jady, wonderful performance of err... that... er.... Velvelt Goldmine reproter! Bravo!!) , and 'Pan's Labyrinth', which I suppose could qualify as 'mindfuck'... depending on your take in the conclusion. It's a clever integration of war crimes with fairy tales, two parallel storylines which confuse (sometimes) and contrast to accentuate the loss of innocence. If you haven't yet watched it, I have to warn you it's not for children. The amount of bloodshed and grotesqueness is never benign.
Guizi is leaving this Thur. The first real separation so to speak but again we're still on the same continent. I'm grateful I haven't lost her. When it comes to friends, she's the best. Little more than that, you slash yourself and ask why. Sometimes I wonder if intimacy and comfort of being around another person is merely a matter of time.
看了“刺青”，拍的真烂！我觉得作为导演，先要训练自己成为一个作家，然后一个画家，最后才是摄影师。不会讲故事显得如此单薄不堪一击。
不说剧情，梁洛施真是大美女啊！（特别是柳叶眼）

关于“彼岸花” (Spider lilly)
【来自百度百科】：传说
引魂之花—彼岸花
彼岸花，恶魔的温柔。传说中自愿投入地狱的花朵，被众魔遣回，但仍徘徊于黄泉路上，众魔不忍，遂同意让她开在此路上，给离开人界的魂们一个指引与安慰。
此花一名曼珠沙华，红色花又名彼岸花，也称为 Red Spider Lily。人称“草莫见花莫见”。在日本被称作マンジュシャゲ，发音是曼珠沙华,花语是“分离/ 伤心/不吉祥”。原产地就是中国和日本，日本最多。
相传此花只开于黄泉，一般认为是只开在冥界三途河边、忘川彼岸的接引之花。花如血一样绚烂鲜红，且有花无叶，是冥界唯一的花。花香传说有魔力，能唤起死者生前的记忆。在黄泉路上大批大批的开着这花，远远看上去就像是血所铺成的地毯, 又因其红得似火而被喻为”火照之路”，也是这长长黄泉路上唯一的风景与色彩。当灵魂渡过忘川，便忘却生前的种种，曾经的一切都留在了彼岸，往生者就踏着这花的指引通向幽冥之狱。
彼岸花属于石蒜科（Lycoris Herb），属名是希腊神话中女海神的名字。因为石蒜类的特性是先抽出花葶（总梗）开花，花末期或花谢后出叶；还有另一些种类是先抽叶，在叶枯以后抽葶开花，，所以彼岸花花开时看不到叶子，有叶子时看不到花，花叶两不相见，生生相错。因此才有“彼岸花，开彼岸，只见花，不见叶”的说法。春天是球根，夏天生长叶子，秋天立起开花，冬天叶子又慢慢退去，花开时看不到叶子，有叶子时看不到花，花叶两不相见，生生相错。相念相惜永相失。如此轮回而花叶永不相见，也有着永远无法相会的悲恋之意。
在民间，春分前后三天叫春彼岸，秋分前后三天叫秋彼岸。是上坟的日子。彼岸花开在秋彼岸期间，非常准时，所以才叫彼岸花。
而它生长的地方大多在田间小道，河边步道和墓地，所以别名也叫做死人花。一到秋天，就绽放出妖异浓艳得近于红黑色的花朵，整片的彼岸花看上去便是触目惊心的赤红，如火，如血，如荼。
曼珠沙华这个名字出自梵语「摩诃曼珠沙华」，原意为天上之花，大红花，天降吉兆四华之一。佛典中也说曼珠沙华（曼殊沙华）是天上开的花，白色而柔软，见此花者，恶自去除。佛家语，荼蘼是花季最后盛开的花，开到荼蘼花事了，只剩下开在遗忘前生的彼岸的花。
“彼岸花，开一千年，落一千年，花叶永不相见。情不为因果，缘注定生死。”
——《佛经》
曼珠沙华的美，是妖异、灾难、死亡与分离的不祥之美。或者是因为它深艳鲜红的色泽让人联想到血，也或者是因为它的鳞茎含有剧毒，在一般的文学作品中，它的形象通常是与“疯狂、血腥”之类的概念相联系起来的。在炎之蜃气楼的邂逅篇《真皓き残响》中，桑原水菜笔下写到景虎自杀的瞬间，看到喷出的鲜血如同盛放成群的彼岸花。
佛曰
梵语波罗蜜
此云到彼岸
解义离生灭
著境生灭起
如水有波浪
即名为此岸
离境无生灭
如水常流通
即名为彼岸
有生有死的境界
谓之此岸
超脱生死的境界
谓之彼岸
是涅盘的彼岸
佛说彼岸
无生无死
无若无悲
无欲无求
是个忘记一切悲苦的及乐世界
而有种花
超出三界之外
不在五行之中
生于弱水彼岸
无茎无叶
绚灿绯红
佛说那是彼岸花
