Scotch Rhapsody - Dame Edith Sitwell (1887-1964)

'Do not take a bath in Jordan, Gordon,
On the holy Sabbath, on the peaceful day!

'Said the huntsman, playing on his old bagpipe,
Boring to death the pheasant and the snipe
Boring the ptarmigan and grouse for fun
Boring them worse than a nine-bore gun.

Till the flaxen leaves where the prunes are ripe,
Heard the tartan wind a-droning in the pipe,
And they heard Macpherson say:
'Where do the waves go? What hotels
Hide their bustles and their gay ombrelles?
And would there be room?
Would there be room?
Would there be room for me?

There is a hotel at Ostend
Cold as the wind, without an end,
Haunted by ghostly poor relations
Of Bostonian conversations
(Like bagpipes rotting through the walls.)
And there the pearl-ropes fall like shawls
With a noise like marine waterfalls.
And 'Another little drink wouldn't do us any harm
'Pierces through the Sabbatical calm.
And that is the place for me!

So do not take a bath in Jordan, Gordon,
On the holy Sabbath, on the peaceful day
Or you'll never go to heaven, Gordon Macpherson,
And speaking purely as a private person

That is the place
that is the place
that is the place for me!

Night Shift

之前才說過有好天氣，昨天又再次陰霾密佈了，害得我要到機場試Nikon P80。

今天，也來個烏天黑地的，就像是沒白晝一般。

我是夜更工作的嗎？

p.s.
是的，我的「正職」是深夜裡才開始的。

Without a Trace

每逢星期三，也是《尋人密探組》播放的時間。

一個人，好端端的，忽地消失了，像是《老夫子》漫話的標題：「耐人尋味」。原因有時千絲萬縷，有時卻直接簡單，各自有各自的原因。作為觀眾的我，劇集開始時就如墜五里霧中。之後劇情也出人意表，每次看來，使人興味十足。如當天不能看畢全集，總是不是味兒的。

當然，結局只有兩個選擇：找到了活人，或是找到一具屍體(甚至多具)。

到底今集找到活的還是死的？期待星期三吧。

雲端

從上環ING Tower辦公室的窗，看見對面商業大廈玻璃窗的反影，也看見雲的流動。對攝影者來說，在陽光普照的日子，以最不濟的卡片型DC拍出來的相片也會是最漂亮的(務必注意ISO設定為100或以下)。

看見白雲，心情也開朗一點。

流動吧白雲…
