二○○六年十月二十五日下午一點三十分,我看完愛爾蘭作家約翰.康納利的《失物之書》。我朗聲唸完最後一章,倒數兩段尤其讓我濕了眼眶:「一生的時光在此地只不過是一瞬間,而人人皆能依夢想打造自己的天堂。因為所有失落的全已再度尋回,大衛於是在那片黑暗中闔上雙眼(For a mans lifetime was but a moment in that place, and every man dreams his own heaven. And, in the darkness, David closed his eyes as all that was lost was found again.)。」
