來倫敦約一個月後,我腦中偶而會突然閃過台北街景。一次一個畫面,突然造訪,又馬上離去。辛亥路上北二高路口,南港某條路的轉角,從景美往台大方向看過去的唱片看版。

She would be jostled on the Metro and suddenly, a narrow lane in some leafy Prague neighborhood would rise up before her for a split second. All day long these fleeting images would visit her to assuage the longing for her lost Bohemia
