仲夏夜之梦：情人，疯子和诗人

Fear of Flying中，Isadora的第一个丈夫发疯的时候，症侯就是不断地将录音机调大，调小，放的是 Glenn Gould 的Goldberg Variations，看看在纽约，放巴赫的音乐放到多大声，警察才会来干预。

"Lovers and madmen have such seething brains
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
The lunatic, the lover and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman; the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and give to airy "nothing"
A local habitation and a name."

Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

天份，名校出身等等都是负担，这个问题可不光是男人才有。 ；）

唉，真不喜欢那种过于洞察一切、玩世不恭的口气，不过她说的还真就是对。：）

I’ve noticed, anyway, that unless a man is a bona fide genius, a Harvard education is a permanent liability. … the albatross of being a Harvard man: the aura, the atmosphere, the pronunciation problems, the tender memories of the River Charles. It tends to infantilize them and cause them to go dashing about the corridors of advertising agencies with their ties flapping behind them.
