"I have nothing at all to sayBut I want to say it anyway…"

—Marcello Mastroianni, 8½,

In my perfect 6-year-old FrenchI'm singing Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques.Dormez-vous? before the white capsand the waves' salt spray—it'sthe only song I know to the end,the only world…

Sun burningthrough the mist, white as a Eucharist,obscure as everything I hopeto one day understand…I'm digging a hole in the sandthat never fills with the tide—wind stripping down the eucalyptuson the cliffs…

sixty years ago…

Now, whatever I understand of philosophy,its pages have opened all this timeto dust, to leaves all the way backto a path bright with morning gloriesand nasturtium.

So this morning,stepping onto the porch, whistlingthat children's song again, I knowlittle beyond this throng of bushtitshappy with their chitter in the olive tree.I still hear fog dripping in the camphor leaves,my parents' station wagon crunchingalong the drive, leaving for work… [End Page 39] I look out above the marine layerjust offshore absorbing every groundlesstheory for our lives…nothing morethan a line of bird song between then and now,a few passing phrases on the air… [End Page 40]

“我什么都没说,但是我还是想说……”

-马塞洛·马斯特罗亚尼(Marcello Mastroianni),8½

用我6岁的完美法语,我在唱歌FrèreJacques,FrèreJacquesDormez-vous?在白帽和海浪的盐雾之前-这是我唯一知道一首歌,是唯一的世界…

阳光在薄雾中燃烧,像圣体圣事白皙,我希望有一天能理解的一切都变得晦涩难懂……我在沙子挖了一个洞,从来没有潮汐填满—把悬崖上的桉树刮下来……

六十年前…

现在,就我所了解的哲学而言,它的页面一直被尘埃所覆盖,一直走到一条充满牵牛花和金莲花的明亮小路

因此,今天早上,踏上门廊,再次吹奏着孩子们的歌声,除了对灌木丛中的橄榄满足他们的满足感之外,我什至不知所措。我仍然听到雾气弥漫在樟树的叶子上,我父母的旅行车在行驶中 嘎嘎作响,去上班…… [完第39页]我从海平面上方望出去,在海上吸收着我们生活中每一个毫无根据的理论……无非就是从那时到现在,一排排的鸟儿的歌声在空中飞过…… [结束第40页]
