伴盟5/19募款餐會，與會300多名來賓們用盛開的玫瑰排出Love & Equal，然後大家紛紛輪番上前合影...
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
-- Sonnet XVII - Poem by Pablo Neruda
我不算是個多愁善感的人（小弟只是個思想簡單直接的男生），但有時候夜闌人靜時，總會想到以前，想起小時候的生活，想起家裡養的兩頭小狗，想起壯年時充滿活力的爸媽，想起自己因他們久出未歸而坐在鞋櫃上哭個不停，想起小學的生活，學校中做過的壞事，欠交的功課，作弄過的人，喜歡過的女孩，拒絕過的女孩...... 不知怎的，回憶中的東西，好像都經藍色玻璃紙過濾過一樣，帶點藍藍的，憂鬱的顏色。
今天我們再看一首 Shakespeare 的 sonnet，主題，正是晚間的胡思亂想。去片。
原文：
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long-since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight.
Then can I grieve at grievances forgone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end.

一段關係中的弱者，真係無好日子過，唉。讀到這首 sonnet，不得不同情我們的老莎。
Farewell! Thou art too dear for my possession,
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate:
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;
My bonds in thee are all determinate.
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting?
And for that riches where is my deserving?
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,
And so my patent back again is swerving.
Thyself thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me, to whom thou gav'st it, else mistaking;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgment making.
Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but, waking, no such matter.

面對最愛的人或東西，我們既愛得要命，也怕得要死。擁有的時候固然快樂，但同時害怕終有一天會失去所愛。

這說法，已經是老生常談了。今天我們一起看看老莎這個大文豪怎樣演繹這句話。這首 sonnet，可算是他百多首中最容易讀的。
原文：
Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their body's force;
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill;
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse:
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest;
But these particulars are not my measure,
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks and horses be;
And, having thee, of all men's pride I boast.
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most wretched make.
我試譯為現代英文：
Some take pride in their birth, some in their abilities, some in their wealth, some in their physical strength, some in their clothes (whether pretty or not), and some in their pets.
We all have an object from which we derive the most pleasure. So what's mine? It's your love. You are my dearest and proudest possession.
But, having you, I'm doomed at the same time, because you can easily take away everything that matters to me, and make me the most wretched person on earth.
粗疏的中譯：
有人喜歡誇耀自己的地位、能力、或財富，有人則以自己的體格、衣冠、或寵物為榮。世上每個人都有自己特別鍾愛的事物，無可代替。
但對以上的東西，我都不感興趣。我唯一珍惜的，是你的愛。我可在天下人之前炫耀：我，擁有你。
可是，擁有你，同時也是我的不幸；因為，你可以隨時拿走我的所有，徹底的把我毀掉。
