巴黎人和日本人有一個地方很相似：偏執。

所以在巴黎若見到有專門只賣T-shirt，專門只賣紙筆等零零總總的專門店，是不稀奇的。

Au nom de la Rose，和我一樣不懂法文的人泰半也猜的出這是一家專賣玫瑰的花店。從彭鍇立“散步到左岸“一書，可知從此家出產的玫瑰花種始於十七世紀，單株要價不匪。

上網一查，發現此家全球化經營相當成功！在英國倫敦也有分店，口袋麥可麥可者，大可打電話預定，便有專人千里迢迢送花至府上。看到此，有種小失落。我還是吃那種“僅有此家、別無分店“的名號。畢竟，大家都買的到的東西，有多少人會珍惜呢？

原本想push男友買幾株給我，上飛機回國前好好地把花瓣摘下夾在書中當紀念，這下子到有種無須強求的感覺。此店，我還是會去造訪，看看店中老闆的案頭上是否還擺著勃朗寧的詩作：

YOU'LL LOVE ME YET

BY ROBERT BROWNING

You'll love me yet! -- and I can tarry

Your love's protracted growing;

June rear'd that bunch of flowers you carry

From seeds of April's sowing

I plant a heartful now: some seed

At least is sure to strike,

And yield -- what you'll not pluck indeed,

Not love, but may be, like.

You'll look at least on love's remains,

A grave's one violet:

Your look? -- that pays a thousand pains.

What's death?  You'll love me yet!
