They can dash forward like hussars: but he
Must struggle out of his boyish and learn
How to be plain and awkward, how to be
One after whom none think it worth to turn.
~~~W. H. Auden 《The Novelist》
據說秘魯是我這次南美行中經濟最好的國家,還比智利好!
但是跟我們比還是有落差。街道上,市井小民不兜售玉蘭花,而是飲料、CD(想當然是謎版) 、零食手機套等在台灣會集中在夜市的。市民野餐的地點竟然是安全島?仔細一看,應該是餬口飯吃的升斗小民中午用餐。
