• "None that I love more than myself. You are a councillor; if you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the presence, we will not hand a rope more - use your authority. If you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hours, if it so hap."

  莎士比亚William Shakespeare；1564～1616，柴可夫斯基Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 1840～1893，
  他们生活在不同的年代国度，莎士比亚，文艺复兴时代， 柴可夫斯基，后浪漫主义时代， 他们都能感知透视人的灵魂，写在他们的剧作和音乐里。
  
  每个时代总有少数不一样的人，他们会派去吃苦在前去承受痛苦，伟大的天才，伟人注定是这样。　都说真正的艺术家他们拥有第三只眼睛，专门透视人的灵魂？ 写实放大人的灵魂， 也许因为艺术家们有普通人没有的这第三只眼睛， 上帝要他们痛苦承受更多, 要他们发疯去感受，这是他们的使命， 梵高是这样，Rambrant，Turner....等都是这样， 人生的痛苦或不幸，也许是上帝对人的另一种《奖赏》和考验，让你感受另一种人生境界吧， 熬不过去就自认倒霉，熬过去了就什么事也没了，是另一种landscape。艺术的魅力可能就是天才们放大无数风景：可以看到的，看不到，感官感知的，心领神会的，
