Carpe diem

photo source: Solvay conference 1927

You see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."Quote from Dead Poet's Society (1989)

仔細看啊!(照片中)他們的青春像盛開的水仙。靠近些,仔細聽聽,你會聽到他們的話。來!身子再靠近點聽!聽到了嗎?把握每一天,及時行樂!同學們,讓你們的生命不凡啊!<春風化雨,1989>



每次看古人照片,耳邊就會聽到 John Keating 說的這些話,而我,正是那些在校史走廊上的年輕人之一,透過玻璃,凝神看著學長們的照片,遙想著他們的青春...

現在,我把這照片當桌布,這些人是要輕輕告訴我:Carpe diemMake your lives extraordinary

Arturo Castiglioni 的<醫學史>真是一本好書啊!可以來氣收藏~
