章节摘录

　　Self-Reliance （Excerpt） I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional.The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may.The sentiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain.To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, —that is genius.Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost, —and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment.Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought.A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages.Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts：they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this.They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side.Else, tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.There is a time in every man' s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance;that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none.This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony.The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray.We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace.It is a deliverance which does not deliver.In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.Trust thyself：every heart vibrates to that iron string.Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being.And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides,redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.

•   作为英语专业的学生，我比较推荐这本书。英美文学是英语学习中很重要的一部分，这本书收录了美国文学史上很重要的十几位作家的作品，这本书也可以作为平时英语阅读阅读的材料，拓展自己的词汇量。另外，有些学校会使用这本书作为教材或者考研参考书目，总之多看没有坏处，挺好的一本书。
•   拿到书匆匆翻了几页，觉得排版很不俗，陶洁是选读的老牌子了。之前就有好多人买陶洁高搅拌的那本选读，觉得那本也挺不错的。不过因为是天津瓦艾国语大学的考研指定书目，好出就是这本书的作家内容都很新，也是天津外国语大学的特点之一嘛。其次觉得这本书赏析挺好的，还是用中文评，所以就是不是英语专业的看也没什么问题，陶冶情操挺好的。大姑娘党的发货速度的确比以前要快了。
•   美国文学课用的课本。选材很全，很有代表性，对当代的文学语篇选得比较多。最喜欢的是文章后面都会有简单的讲解评述。赞一个！
•   这本书质量很好，里面的内容清楚，没有缺页少页的现象。精选了美国著名文学大师的优秀篇目，有精彩的分析。很不错的一本书，值得去读。
•   作为选读来说还是挺好的，适合和文学史一起配套用。
•   列选的都挺好
•   价格合适，书籍质量很好。
•   多学无害
•   he老师要的一模一样
•   很好，很适合英语文学专业的学生阅读
•   精读几遍 文学韵味很浓
•   书还可以，上课用的教材，发现了一两处错误的地方。
•   印刷的时候应该段落之间空格大一点，比较好记笔记。
•   绪论部门字太小，看着很累。
•   是正版，书还不错，就是介绍的作者略少，连欧文都木有。。
•   打开包装一看实在是被shock到了，比二手还二手，封面上就有明显折痕，打开里面发现书页泛黄而且每隔几页都有一大堆折印，实在是太有失水准。这是我迄今为止在当当上买到的最不满意的一本书，虽然可能我只是运气不太好，但是希望这种事情以后少发生。上美国文学课系里的书定错只好自己重买，下周就要上课这本书我急用，结果却收到这么一本书，又急着看又实在是难以接受这样的质量，真心捉急！
