【廣島之戀 Hiroshima Mon Amour】
我多麼羨慕你
作詞：姚謙 作曲：張洪量
有時候 風太急 禁不住 掛念起你
這一刻 離我遙遠飛行
有時候 夜太靜 攔不住 回憶的心
於是淚 每個夜裡如繁星
我多麼羨慕你 總可以 轉身飛 遠遠的
我的愛是你 沉重行李 絆住你追新夢的決心
我多麼想念你 當時間都失去了意義
穿越思念後 等成信箱 讓你需要的時候可以 投遞
***˙*˙***˙*˙間奏˙*˙***˙*˙***
我多麼羨慕你 總可以 轉身飛 遠遠的
我的愛是你 沉重行李 絆住你追新夢的決心
我多麼想念你 當時間都失去了意義
穿越思念後 等成信箱 讓你需要的時候可以 投遞
告訴我 沿途中 想與我 分享的心情

Chivalric romance
✔ Chivalric romance is a type of prose or verse narrative that was popular in the aristocratic circles of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe.
✔ They typically describe the adventures of quest-seeking, legendary knights who are portrayed as having heroic qualities.
✔ Chivalric romances celebrate an idealized code of civilized behavior that combines loyalty, honor, and courtly love.
⇢ Popular literature also drew on themes of romance, but with ironic or satiric intent. Romances reworked legends, fairy tales, and history to suit the readers' (or, more likely, the hearers') tastes, but by 1600 they were out of fashion, and Miguel de Cervantes famously burlesqued them in his novel Don Quixote(←click).

A narrow Fellow in the Grass - by Emily Dickinson
A narrow Fellow in the Grass
Occasionally rides -
You may have met him? Did you not
His notice instant is -
The Grass divides as with a Comb,
A spotted Shaft is seen,
And then it closes at your Feet
And opens further on -
He likes a Boggy Acre -
A Floor too cool for Corn -
But when a Boy and Barefoot
I more than once at Noon
Have passed I thought a Whip Lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stooping to secure it
It wrinkled And was gone -
Several of Nature’s People
I know, and they know me
I feel for them a transport
Of Cordiality
But never met this Fellow
Attended or alone
Without a tighter Breathing
And Zero at the Bone.

Sphinx
→ a mythical creature with, at a minimum, the head of a human and the body of a lion
▲ When Oedipus got to the town of Thebes, a little later, he found the great Sphinx there. The Sphinx sat in front of Thebes and asked everyone who came there a riddle. If you could answer it, the Sphinx let you go, but if you could not answer the riddle, then the Sphinx ate you. Nobody ever knew the answer. This was the Sphinx's riddle:
"What goes on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?"
The answer is " a man."
A man is a baby in the morning of his life and he crawls on four feet.He is an adult in the noon of his life and he walks on two feet. But when he is old, in the evening of his life, he walks with a cane, on three feet.
When Oedipus answered the riddle correctly, the Sphinx was so upset that she killed herself.
The Raven (←click)
✔ a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe.
✔ It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references.
To Helen - by Edgar Allan Poe
Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicéan barks of yore,
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,
The weary, way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche
How statue-like I see thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand!
Ah, Psyche, from the regions which
Are Holy-Land!
