Ulysses' Gaze--Bystander Gaze and Thinking

The protagonist is always like an observer who is not in the story. Everything that happens around him is sometimes related to him and sometimes irrelevant. The bystander represents staring. Like the scenery in the fog, it can also be regarded as an "epic road movie" in my classification.

Trapped in time all the time, unable to distinguish between the present and the past, it seems that he has another identity and can do anything before. The time changes suddenly, and you are caught off guard. High conviction equals total despair, and the two go hand-in-hand. God created travel first, then doubts and nostalgia, and that's how epics come about.

The Soviet Union was at least once brilliant, and it also influenced others. What about us? I lost myself and finally lost the influence of socialism, leaving the body of greed and profit. If Yipin really can't be read all at once, you need to settle, think, and start again; otherwise your mind can't keep up, and you will ignore many important things.

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • A: Good night, good night... Parting is such sweet sorrow... that I shall say good night, till it be tomorrow... sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breasts... would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest... Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell... his help to crave, and my dear hap to tell!

  • A: [final lines] When I return, It will be with another man's clothes. Another man's name. My coming will be unexpected. If you look at me unbelieving, and say "You are not He", I will show you signs and you will believe me. I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden. The corner window that lets in the moonlight. And then signs of the body, signs of love. And as we climb, trembling, to our old room, between one embrace and the next , etween lovers' calls, I will tell you about the journey all the night long. And in all the nights to come. Between one embrace and the next. Between lovers' calls. A whole human adventure. The story that never ends...
