South Mosaic Vault (Poetry), Adonis painted by H O Walker based on Shakespeare's poem, Venus and Adonis. Adonis lies dead after being gored by a boar sent by Artemis -
''Tis true, 'tis true; thus was Adonis slain:
He ran upon the boar with his sharp spear,
Who did not whet his teeth at him again,
But by a kiss thought to persuade him there;
And nuzzling in his flank, the loving swine
Sheathed unaware the tusk in his soft groin."
夏夜晚風，躺在屋頂上聽如同Adonis般的少男唱著無人知的小調，他長得標緻，有著灰綠色的眼珠，初次見到他時，不說話我會以為他是她，女孩在旁用小提琴伴奏，他兩旁若無人地哼唱著，我沈溺於他們自然且溫柔的聲線，忘記飢餓，是一個平和到讓我起雞皮疙瘩傍晚。
兩個從挪威來的青年，果真散發出來自高緯度冰冷，不怎麼說話，但抱著吉他時卻讓人想坐在他們旁邊，靜靜的待著像只貓，他們好青澀，臉龐散落著青春痘及粉紫色的痘疤，結伴旅歐，一起煮菜、喝酒、唱歌，好chill的couple。

As an auto-didact in art history for over a decade, I have obsessively photographed tens of thousands of the finest artworks housed in world-class museums. In my countless forays, I've seen reappearances or flashbacks of dozens, perhaps hundreds of masterpieces in one museum's permanent collection that I had previously seen in the troves of other museums. Duplicates, or sometimes half a dozen or more similar if not identical paintings and sculptures. These eerie experiences had initially perplexed me and even triggered spells of self-doubt, wavering if I truly saw what I believed I did.
The explanation behind this is as simple as the climactic insight of the little princess in that children's story Many Moons: the masters, or artists in general for that matter, have often created several studies and versions of their famous oeuvres, that possess the mystique of being one of a kind.
So, as a testament to the proverbial "practice makes perfect", I share my discoveries in this new series I call Deja Vu.
