阿姆斯特丹的紅燈區,聞名遐邇。入夜,櫥窗女郎,搔首弄姿,吸引恩客,活色生香。
情色事業由政府監管,性工作者跟在銀行、餐廳上班一樣,普通不過。荷蘭人對許多事都能以開放的態度去面對,是我欣賞的。

「Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they'll listen now
For they could not love you
And still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.」

這是Don McLean為梵谷的畫所深深感動,寫下的一首歌-------- “Vincent”.
梵高的藝術不為當時社會所賞識,以致窮苦潦倒,英年早逝。今天,他的畫被廣泛讚賞,被高價收藏,他可有想過有這麼的一天﹖命運,或許真不由人……
