Our heroes are human heroes. That's a very new situation. Most other societies have had, right at their center, the worship of something transcendent: a god, a spirit, a natural force, the universe, whatever it is -- something else that is being worshiped. We've slightly lost the habit of doing that, which is, I think, why we're particularly drawn to nature.
你无法回到家乡,回到你的家庭,回到你的童年,回到浪漫的爱情,回到年轻人对荣耀和名声的梦想,回到流亡,逃到欧洲和某个外国,回到抒情,为了唱歌而唱歌,回到唯美主义,回到你年轻时对“艺术”和美的想法,回到象牙塔,回到乡村的地方,回到百慕大的小屋,远离世界上所有的冲突和斗争,回到你失去并一直在寻找的父亲,回到可以帮助你、拯救你、减轻你负担的人,回到那些曾经看似永恒但一直在变化的旧形式和系统——回到时间和记忆的逃避。
记忆是脆弱的,生命的空间如此短暂,转瞬即逝,我们永远无法看清事件之间的联系。
