于是,我给孩子们讲道,在追求那个精灵般的女子七年的时间里,我时而充满希望,时而又失望不已,然而始终不渝。
我尽量以孩子们能理解的程度,向他们解释少女身上的羞怯、敏感与回绝——当我突然转向艾丽丝时,第一个艾丽丝的灵魂在小艾丽丝的眼里活生生地出现了,以至于我有些怀疑是?站在我的面前。
而当我定睛看去时,两个孩子在我的视野中渐渐地变得模糊,越来越远,直到消失,只在最远的地方剩下哀伤的面孔。
尽管她们什么也没说,但我仿佛听到了他们的话:“我们不是艾丽丝的孩子,不是你的孩子,我们也不是孩子。
艾丽丝的孩子叫巴尔曼爸爸。
我们什么也不是,连梦幻都不是。
我们只是可能存在的人物,在真实存在之前,我们必须要遗忘河边苦苦等上数百万年,然后才有一个名字。”
——我突然惊醒,发现自己静静地坐在我的轮椅上。
原来,我在那里睡着了,忠诚的布里吉特还守在我身边,但是约翰(或者詹姆斯)永远失去了踪影。
