1. 警方只開放兩條行車線,遊行隊伍久久未能離開維園,我們大喊「開路」,某善良的女警呼喊,小心電車行過。電車上的人不會中暑,站在石屎路上的人,烈日底下的人,扶老攜幼的呢?有人說,要保障他人坐電車的權利,但是他們也可以坐巴士,坐地鐵呀。如果遊行人士乾等三四小時才能出發,這就不叫遊行,叫集會和平解散了。難道封鎖多一兩條行車線,讓幾萬人輕輕鬆鬆地走過,是很不合理的要求嗎?我不相信警方可以提出合理的解釋。
2. 某顏色黨派攤開四方形大標語,轉彎路時叫大家把標語摺起來,容易通過。是路太窄,人太多,幾萬人本就需要多一兩條行車線來疏導,幹嘛要收起標語,舉標語不就是想街上天橋上樓上和直升機上的人看見嗎?
3. 遊行人士想警方多開路,推一下鐵欄,卻有遊行糾察和途人來勸阻,強調和平遊行。我不主張暴力,但我不明白何以我們要盡力壓抑不滿,掩蓋各種各樣的confrontations? 遊行,幹嘛這麼卑賤?我想起讀書組時,有人提出反對意見後,向我道歉阻礙進度,難道讀書思考,就是要磨平差異抹去不滿嗎?

THE HARLOT'S HOUSE
by: Oscar Wilde
E caught the tread of dancing feet,
We loitered down the moonlit street,
And stopped beneath the harlot's house.
Inside, above the din and fray,
We heard the loud musicians play
The "Treues Liebes Herz" of Strauss.
Like strange mechanical grotesques,
Making fantastic arabesques,
The shadows raced across the blind.
We watched the ghostly dancers spin
To sound of horn and violin,
Like black leaves wheeling in the wind.
Like wire-pulled automatons,
Slim silhouetted skeletons
Went sidling through the slow quadrille.
The took each other by the hand,
And danced a stately saraband;
Their laughter echoed thin and shrill.
Sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed
A phantom lover to her breast,
Sometimes they seemed to try to sing.
Sometimes a horrible marionette
Came out, and smoked its cigarette
Upon the steps like a live thing.
Then, turning to my love, I said,
"The dead are dancing with the dead,
The dust is whirling with the dust."
But she--she heard the violin,
And left my side, and entered in:
Love passed into the house of lust.
Then suddenly the tune went false,
The dancers wearied of the waltz,
The shadows ceased to wheel and whirl.
And down the long and silent street,
The dawn, with silver-sandalled feet,
Crept like a frightened girl.
'The Harlot's House' was originally published in The Dramatic Review (April, 1885).
