引人入勝的Oscar Wilde

王爾德(Oscar Wilde)是說故事的奇才。
女兒們從書櫃發現這本舊得發黃的書,睡前叫我說故事。
說完「快樂王子」,她們說:「真無奈呀...」
昨晚,說了「夜鶑與玫瑰」,她們又嘆道:「很難過呀...」

如果她們讀得懂內文,會更驚嘆王爾德的尖銳諷刺。
我年少時,不明白人情世故,只顧看故事。今天,讀了那些弦外之音,我也覺得:「真無奈呀...」

Dear Lavender,

Well we are all living in a virtual reality world these days, so a little escape into some of those classical stories would help to nurture our soul.

Just like the movie "Enchanted (魔法奇缘)",which transformed the traditionally enchanted fairy tale that "the Prince and Princess lived happily together thereafter" to the acutal reality of an amazing ending portraited in the movie, a bit anti-traditional, but the "haute couture" of the modern society.

cheers,

Patrick
