When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it,
you don't lose her all at once;
you lose her in pieces over a long time--
the way the mail stops coming, and

阿等的鐘
無意間在淡水發現了這件藝術品,簡單的石板設計,配上木質的鐘擺,第一眼就愛上了他。以下摘錄自由新關網對創作家”阿等”的介紹:
另類美術家阿等
來到汐止的老舊巷道按下著阿等工作室的電鈴,拾級而上,樓梯間的牆壁早已發霉斑白,心裡泛起疑惑,果真有個創作藝術家住在這兒?
門一打開,素淨而簡潔灰白色空間裡,散置著他的作品,彷彿各有所歸似的,靜臥在屬於它們的角落。除了作品之外,屋子裡的一切,從門把、窗戶、地板、桌椅也都是出自阿等的雙手,這一方與外面有著迥異風光的天地,正是阿等綿延不絕的創作源頭!
阿等的作品,散佈在全台十幾家居家專賣店裡,有仿古造型的銅油燈、石板造型的時鐘、造型殊異的燈飾,還有靈感乍現或是感動時刻所創作的藝術品。阿等形容,自己的創作,有七、八分美感、一、兩分功能性。燈飾與時鐘則是目前店家裡銷售最好的兩樣商品,甚至還經常暢銷到缺貨狀態。
儘管如此,他笑稱,別人都說,阿等的燈有一個特色,阿等的鐘也有一個特色,就是燈太燙會燙手,時鐘也會走走停停地不聽使喚。阿等自言,創作品重點在於設計,不希望受限於光度、開關等傳統功能要求,因此,整體造型在美感上加分不少,擺在家中的空間裡,自然而然就能呈現美麗姿態。阿等自信地說,自己的作品,絕對不會輸給國外設計師。
十幾年前,開始從事另類美術創作,從將一顆小小的蛋殼裝上燈具,到如今擁有難以計數的作品。很難想像,外表充滿書生氣息的他,竟然曾經跑船三年。因著跑船的際遇,讓阿等對於遙遠地平線上亮起的燈光特別有感覺,因此,對於燈,阿等特別有創作靈感。
對他而言,創作是壓抑心情的釋放,不過,游移在理想與現實之間,內心轉折也是冷暖自知。創作對他來說是絕對的,要求完美的個性同樣流露在作品之中。藝術創作很難評價,不過,記者還是詳細問了阿等對於作品的評價,他說,屬於創作藝術性的物件,售價通常在五、六萬之間,時鐘價位則在1,000~3,000元之間,燈具則約價5,000~8,000元之間。

One Art
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost
that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day.
Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel.
None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look!
my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them,
but it wasn't a disaster.
---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
