elegy in love, friendship and life

Where can love
come from? Permeated youth, beautiful body, slightly restrained temperament, slightly swaying figure under the light. Beautiful girls are works of art, invisible, you can never see through.
People who yearn for freedom and do not want to be bound by any responsibility, this time is finally a little serious, but at the age of 30 years, she is not sure why she loves, not sure how much she loves and how long she can love.
So, have you ever thought about my future?
She is brave enough. Bravery is the prerogative of the beautiful girl, she can decide to continue to love or to let go.
And he, confined to continuing to love, was afraid of her letting go.
So when she was desperate to move forward, he avoided everything that was important to her, he let her down.
Is there a constant process of trial and error in every relationship? Do you care about me, who cares more, what kind of existence do I have in your heart, and whether there is me in your future. Even if you are always confident, you will become inferior in the face of people who care a lot, and you will be afraid that you are not good enough.
At last she came back to him haggard, like a helpless little animal. With teary eyes, he embraced her. He said, I am here.
Taking the rest of the time as a treasure, once he was poor, she was rich enough to rival the country, but now they are both poor as children, and there is no gap to separate them.
Always thought we had the same tomorrow. In so many parallel time and space, there must be one of us together.

About friendship
David and George.
Share unreservedly, listen attentively, make suggestions, and stand firm by each other’s side, right or wrong.
I've seen a lot of righteousness and righteousness. How good is this indiscriminate friendship.
David lost Consuela and was seriously ill, and George stayed with him like a child, feeding him food.
When he was dying, George put a kiss on David's lips. Is he still awake? Remember what? It doesn't matter anymore.
He owes him too much.
thought of myself. A person has been independent for too long and is used to taking everything by himself. I want to be free, but I can't tell the line between being bound and being cared for. Friends have new friends, I will be afraid that I will not be important from now on, possessiveness is not something unique to love.
Over the years, I dared not expect to be a significant friend to anyone I newly met. You see, your first 20 years are so wonderful, you must have experienced a lot of interesting things and met a lot of interesting people. I've only known you for a short time, and I don't know much about you. How dare I rush into your life? How dare you hope that you can stand out and become very important among so many people who have accompanied you through the long years?
So close friends can't do it, let alone expect love.
In friendship and love, there is neither the ability to love nor the capital to be loved.

Regarding life
, Consuela said that after she became ill, she felt that it was silly to quarrel with her mother and let life pass by in sleep.
When time became limited, what Manager Zeng should have started to become a luxury. Everyone has to say goodbye to someone important or to yourself. The time spent together became a countdown, and I began to regret that I had wasted so much before, and I could no longer spend it recklessly. With loss as a yardstick, everything will be tragically despairing, awaiting the final pending judgment.
The future and the accident, I don't know which one will come first, then how to cherish the time.

    The old man fell in love with the girl, loved everything that her youth and body symbolized, but did not read her soul and thoughts. He didn't cherish what he thought would be lost from the beginning. It never occurred to him that she would fall in love as his righteous lover.

    I don't know, I just came to see the show. But the director is very good, and there is a scene in the back where leaves fall, which makes me sad.

Elegy quotes

  • David Kepesh: [interview on the Charlie Rose show] We're not all descended from the Puritans.

    Charlie Rose: No?

    David Kepesh: There was another colony 30 miles from Plymouth, it's not on the maps today. Marymount it was called.

    Charlie Rose: Yeah, alright, you mention in your book...

    David Kepesh: The colony where anything goes, went.

    Charlie Rose: There was booze...

    David Kepesh: here was booze. There was fornication. There was music. There was... they even ah, ah, ah, you name it, you name it. They even danced around the maypole once a month, wearing masks, worshiping god knows what, Whites and Indians together, all going for broke...

    Charlie Rose: Who was responsible for all of this?

    David Kepesh: A character by the name of Thomas Morton.

    Charlie Rose: Aah, the "Hugh Hefner" of the Puritans.

    David Kepesh: You could say that. I'm going to read you a quote of what the Puritans thought of Morton's followers: 'Debauched bacchanalians and atheists, falling into great licentiousness, and leading degenerate lives'. When I heard that, I packed my bags, I left Oxford, and I came straight to America, America the licentious.

    Charlie Rose: So what happened to all of those people?

    David Kepesh: Well, the Puritans shot them down. They sent in Miles Standish leading the militia. He chopped down the maypole, cut down those colored ribbons, banners, everything; party was over

    Charlie Rose: And we became a nation of straight-laced Puritans.

    David Kepesh: Well...

    Charlie Rose: Isn't that your point though? The Puritans won, they stamped out all things sexual... how would you say it?

    David Kepesh: Sexual happiness.

    Charlie Rose: Exactly. Until the 1960s.

    David Kepesh: Until the 1960s when it all exploded again all over the place.

    Charlie Rose: Right, everyone was dancing around the maypole, then, make love not war.

    David Kepesh: If you remember, only a decade earlier, if you wanted to have sex, if you wanted to make love in the 1950s, you had to beg for it, you had to cop a feel.

    Charlie Rose: Or... get married.

    David Kepesh: As I did in the 1960s.

    Charlie Rose: Any regrets?

    David Kepesh: Plenty. Um, but that's our secret. Don't tell anybody.

    [laughter]

    David Kepesh: That's just between you and me.

  • George O'Hearn: Life always keeps back more surprises than we could ever imagine.
