The Lame Shall Enter First

Flannery O'Connor

果然不管子女怎麼樣都無法滿足父母的期望嗎？還是這只是人類單純的
貪心和救世主情節作祟？總之Sheppard（這個名字真是有深意）讓我
想起了龍槍傳奇裡的Chrisania（唔、是叫這個名字嗎？），失敗是可
以預期的，The devil has most people in his power.

赫然發現這篇小說的名字取得很有趣。Sheppard, Norton, Furus Johnson
不信神卻又想領導人的Sheperd，信神卻又想當太空人的科學家，
還有奇詭卻又是最虔誠的Everyman.

"God, kid," Johnson said in a cracked voice, "how do you stand
it?" His face was stiff with outrage. "He thinks he's Jesus Christ."

Corilla, My Love/ Toni Cade Bambara

無法理解成人遊戲規則的小孩子。
曾經我也一度迷惘過，直到現在我還不敢說
我完全弄清楚了。

"And Baby Jason crying too. Cause he is my blood brother and
understands that we must stick together or be forever lost,
what with grown-ups playin chang-up and turmin you round
every which way so bad. And don't even say they sorry."
