Those women-4

When You Are Old
----Williams B. Yeats

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

"我认识你，永远记得你。那时候，你还很年轻，人人都说你美，现在，我是特为来告诉你，对我来说，我觉得现在你比年轻的时候更美，那时你是年轻女人，与你那时的面貌相比，我更爱你现在备受摧残的面容。"

--- The Lover, Margurite Duras

Slow dowm,stop and listen to your heart...

Gloomy Sunday

color pencil, ink and wash, paper

Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldnt they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy sunday

Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and i
Have decided to end it all
Soon therell be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that Im glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death Im caressin you
With the last breath of my soul
Ill be blessin you

Gloomy sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy sunday

Ratbby suddenly appeared!

I digged this pic from your xiaonei.May,23rd,2008-before our graduation,downtown Pizza Hut.

You sneaked back from Australia, three months later.Happy to have your visit, even a short lunch.But we talked as usual over the lunch-Mi Xian.Felt like you've never left.Dunno where your relationship is going.But indeed hope you could be well, be happy.Take care of yourself although you told you always tended to be a "destroy-er".Don't want to see you falling into a depressing situation.

I know you care about me and want me to have a stable life away from those waves and winds.While in another hand, I did imagine before that if I were single, how nice it would be to be your flatmate and enjoy a free life there in Australia with you and experienced our little "gloomy" days.:-) (I wouldnt like to study the Accounting tho.) While I do hope you will soon find what you want from your life...in every aspect.

All the best.

Fly to Potala

I had a wonderful dream this morning.This is it.
I saw the splendid Potala Palace sorrounded with clouds.
I was on the bus which flied up towards it.
It was very real.
I like the feeling to fly in the dream.

Coffee Morning in All's Well

We went to All's Well Coffee to meet our Canadian friend Patrick who works for HP.
Had breakfast there-toast, butter, fried egg, bacon,sausage and coffee.I tried a new way to draw-wash on the sketchbook.
