Time has no pity for human heart, he laughs at it sad struggle to remember. You allured him with beauty, made him captive, and crowned the formless death with fadeless form. The secret whispered in the hush of night to the ear of your love is wrought in the perpetual silence of stone. Though empires crumble to dust and centuries are lose in shadows, the marble still sighs to the star, "I remember." "I remember." - But life forgets, for she has her call to the endless: and she goes on her voyage unburdened, leaving her memories to the forlorn forms of beauty. 多年以前我在一家印度餐廳的牆上第一次看到了這首詩時，心裡非常地震撼且感動。當時馬上找來一支筆在紙餐墊背面把整首詩抄寫下來。如今，我翻開多年前的筆記本，把這永恆的愛情詩句再復頌一次，然後一個字一個字key in進心裡面。沙加罕的愛情故事我百聽不厭，甚至讀到張曉風女士對泰姬瑪哈陵的側寫都會感動到流眼淚。這樣不朽的愛情故事， 1925年有 Jacques Guerlain將她熬成了一瓶香水... Shalimar，香水史上的經典之作，不知安撫滋潤了多少人乾荒的心。(*) Chanel No.5的光環部分歸於瑪麗蓮夢露的魅力，但掀開印度愛情故事的紗麗， Shalimar迷惑人心的東方香調就足以支撐她在香水史上無可動搖的地位。 Chanel No.5是個等愛的女人，(**) 但Shalimar，早已擁有丈夫的愛，至死不渝一如那顆永恆的眼淚。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (*)這裡指的當然是喜愛香水的人。 (**)我知道No.5有很多擁護者，她絕對是成功的香水。本貓只是說出自己的感覺，no offence~ -- 我的部落格: http://blog.xuite.net/jacqline/blog -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.168.91.229
