O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
~Walt Whitman . Leaves of Grass
至少,就我在到達草葉集這家書店之前,腦海裡是充滿著這類想像的。
因此在前些日子往新竹的旅程中,我還特別安排了前往草葉集的行程,本打算在那裡用餐兼選書的,但達利喝完咖啡之後,張老闆告訴我草葉集已經搬到台北內湖好久好久了,這也造成我那次新竹行心裡的一點點缺憾。所以當我結束新竹的行程以後,馬上又以最短的時間打理出一趟前來草葉集的行程。
