  秦香從車上下來，左手端著裝了沙的蚌，右手扛著畫架，左兜放著一枝花，右兜放著一條圍脖，向海走去。

  余秋濱緊緊跟著他，莫名想到一句話：天河與海通，有浮槎來去。

  走了許久，終於走到一處崖石，可以看見大海由遠及近的不同顏色。他把畫架立在那裡，絲巾圍在上面。

  她的絲巾套在他的畫架上，這樣就像是兩人緊密地在一起，相互依偎，永不分離。

  “How do I love thee Let me count the ways.

  I love thee to the depth and breadth and height.

  My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

  For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

  I love thee to the level of everyday's

  Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

  I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

  I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

  I love thee with the passion put to use

  In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

  I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

  With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,

  Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,

  I shall but love thee better after death. ”

  每一句詩，都混在莫奈色的日暮里，連同花與蚌殼，淹沒在大海，一望無際。

  而與海風，枯木，礁石，一地的柏子蘭，以及若有似無的鳥鳴一起沉醉的，還有一顆滄海般的心。

  “一起走走麼?”
