The Capitalist's Imagination

The German sociologist Jens Beckert argues that literary theory can help explain what economics fails to.

Anyone who has bought a house, started a business, purchased a stock, or spent a few dollars on a lottery ticket has fantasized about how their future might change based on those decisions. Each of those economic acts was also a flight of imagination, combining expectations with calculations of gain. Of course, it's not just individuals who do this, but institutions, such as the banks that make loans to the home buyers or entrepreneurs, or the firms that provide earnings projections for their stocks. While some part of those projections are based on seemingly rational calculations, the uncertainty of the future is unavoidable, and that is where fiction and fantasy come in. The act of imagining the future in finance goes by other names—"vision" and "invention" are among the more respectable euphemisms—in order to disguise the presence of the non-rational in financial activity. But rarely do scholars explore the role of imagination in economic life systematically. In a realm dominated by economic and financial scholarship that aspires to be "scientific," fantasy and creativity in envisioning the future are often ignored; they don't fit well into a model of research whose aim is to reduce unknowns and to eliminate surprises as much as possible.

German sociologist Jens Beckert tackles this problem head-on, making imagination the focus of an extended meditation on the role of the unpredictable future in creating modern capitalism. His new book, Imagined Futures: Fictional Expectations and Capitalist Dynamics, makes a thorough, exhaustively documented argument in support of what many have suspected about capitalism: It's a castle in the air, built on fantasy shading into fraud. He makes a compelling case that no corner of the market is untouched by the process of generating imagined futures. The novelty of his work lies in offering a way to understand that process as a social system in which everyone, from individuals to institutions, is implicated.

Among the most daring and distinctive aspects of this book is Beckert's argument that literary theory can be used to analyze phenomena that economics has been unable to explain or predict. In essence, Beckert asserts that if readers are willing to accept that fiction plays a large role in capitalism, then they need to follow that insight to its logical conclusion by applying to markets the analytical tools developed for studying works of literature. While this may come as a shock to readers more accustomed to the dominance of economic theory in analyzing markets, it is an opportune moment to reconsider those orthodoxies, for two reasons. First, memory of the abject failure of economic models in the 2008 global financial crisis is still fresh. Second, post-mortems in the form of popular films like The Big Short and Inside Job keep cropping up as vivid reminders of just how much fiction was pumped into the markets and the media before the crash. Beckert's book, while far more scholarly and conceptual in approach, complements those popular works by offering a big picture view of the social processes that make such catastrophes happen.

In this sense, Beckert does for modern denizens of capitalism what Toto did for Dorothy and her companions in The Wizard of Oz: He pulls back the curtain on the great spectacle that has long enchanted, bewildered, and frightened so many. Watching as Beckert exposes the pulleys, levers, and other mechanisms generating market fantasies may elicit mixed feelings for readers. On the one hand, there is the emotional thrill of transgression (flouting the command to "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!") and the intellectual excitement of demystifying a complex process that has become increasing important in contemporary life. On the other hand, there is the dismal recognition that future-oriented economic fantasies—even at their moments of peak excitement, such as the bull markets when dreams of getting rich and enjoying unlimited potential seem tantalizingly close to realization—often turn out to be the creations of shabby little men manipulating the hopes and dreams of others.

To be sure, there are true innovators and creative geniuses, such as Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs, who have played their own, largely constructive roles in imagining the future. Beckert acknowledges these quasi-heroic figures and the ways in which they have harnessed the capacity for fantasy to make positive contributions to the world; they succeeded not just because they could imagine new and better worlds, but because they could convince others to share and support those visions until they became reality. But for every Edison or Jobs, there seem to be many more individuals who simply exploit the human propensity to project their fantasies into the future, without delivering anything of value.

Beckert also acknowledges these shysters and flim-flam men—notably through figures of recent ill-repute such as Bernard Madoff—but addresses their implications only in passing. If there is anything to criticize in Imagined Futures, it is that the book makes so little of the workings of manipulation and fraud in the capitalist imaginary. The flip side of confidence, a crucial underpinning of markets to which Beckert devotes considerable attention, is the confidence trick. A robust body of scholarly and popular literature argues that fakery and fraud have been built into global capitalism from its inception; but surprisingly Beckert does not engage with this work or its implications.

This is particularly unfortunate because under the heading of popular writing, so many famous works of fiction delve into the subject in ways that would offer useful illustrations of and support for Beckert's own arguments. Examples include Herman Melville's 1857 novel The Confidence Man and Thomas Mann's Confessions of Felix Krull, published about a century later. Both novels share Beckert's ambition to expose the ways that imagination and fantasy—albeit in corrupted forms—dominate the workings of market organization and exchange. But the task will be left to some other author to deliver on these possibilities of fully realizing the connection Beckert imagines between the worlds of fiction and finance.

Why Social Science Risks Irrelevance


Why Social Science Risks Irrelevance

David Cutler for The Chronicle Review
By danah boyd July 24, 2016

hy do we do social-science research? Is it to advance our careers or to elevate human knowledge? If we are really committed to the latter, are we on the right track?

As a working-class kid, I was stunned when I realized that some people had the privilege of getting to think all day long. I've never let go of that sense of awe, but to riff off of Spider-Man, with great privilege comes great responsibility.

I believe in the professorial mandate, the deep commitment we must have to giving back knowledge because we get the privilege of being able to spend our days thinking. But that isn't just a matter of toiling in our worlds and then throwing knowledge out of the ivory tower. It's not just about making material open and hoping people will come. It's about actively engaging the very people that we seek to understand, contributing to the communities we spend time analyzing. To treat them respectfully and to understand our moral and ethical responsibility to them.

One of the hardest parts of doing social-science research is coming up with a question that matters. As Kenneth Prewitt rightfully points out in an essay in Items, a publication of the Social Science Research Council, "Matters to whom?" I would also add, "Matters how?" As scholars, we fret a lot about the quality and rigor of our work. Those who fund us also think about "impact." This is precisely why, when we think about "accountability," we quickly turn to metrics. Unfortunately, we then spend less time thinking about the very impact of our questions, the implications of what we choose to study, the processes that influence our choices, and the social implications of seeking knowledge.

friend of mine once told me that scholars study things that conform to their values. This is precisely why we need scholars from diverse experiential, cultural, and political backgrounds. Although forces outside academe influence the decisions about what to study, so too do disciplinary and institutional incentives and pressures.

My first research paints a clear portrait of where I was both in my identity and my organizational position. That project was concerned with how depth-cue prioritization was dependent on levels of sex hormones in the body. I knew that computer scientists and engineers were obsessing over the possibility of 3-D virtual reality, and I had stumbled on a footnote in an old Air Force report that noted that women got sick in simulators at much higher rates than men. And I started noticing female computer scientists failing at basic 3-D tasks while playing video games for which no explanation of inexperience could be justified. I ended up following my hunch to work in a gender clinic to understand how vision changed as people underwent hormone-replacement therapy. Along the way, I learned that the baseline research that underpinned depth-cue research had been done exclusively on college-attending males, forcing me to redo a lot of seminal experiments to even get at my question.

My path of inquiry, like that of most scientists, was shaped by the context in which I was operating. As a queer woman trying to sort out sexuality and identity, questions about gender felt natural. I was also a computer scientist at the time, but I knew that computer-science methods could not help me answer my question. So I embarked on a path that forced me to learn psychology, cognitive science, and gender studies. And, as a result, I began a lifelong battle to define my disciplinary identity. Am I a sociologist? An anthropologist? An internet-studies scholar? In the process, I quickly realized that I queered my disciplinary identity as a way of resolving my gender identity and sexuality.

Academic disciplines are brutally myopic, judgmental of anyone who chooses to explore a path of inquiry outside of the acceptable boundaries of the field. This is the byproduct of existential identity crises mixed with funding and legitimacy battles. Social science wasn't always about discrete fields at war with one another. Over time, we narrowed the scope of questions, the possibility of asking questions that matter outside of the academy, outside of the boundaries of our field. This is by no means new — it has been part of a long and arduous path of legitimacy, accountability, and meaning-making. Consider this infamous quote from Erving Goffman:

I have no universal cure for the ills of sociology. A multitude of myopias limit the glimpse we get of our subject matter. To define one source of blindness and bias as central is engagingly optimistic. Whatever our substantive focus and whatever our methodological persuasion, all we can do I believe is to keep faith with the spirit of natural science, and lurch along, seriously kidding ourselves that our rut has a forward direction.

I have always held Goffman's critical take on various social-science fields dear because I fear that our seriousness as scholars and determination to justify our existence often leaves us unable to laugh at the absurdity of the infrastructure that we've built to support it. And to realize the degree to which we are to blame for why social science often doesn't matter.

he fact that research is conducted primarily in academe is an ironic byproduct of the professorial mandate. Researchers became professors because it seemed like a natural post from which to teach. Of course, in the process, the professorial mandate turned into the responsibility of teaching 18-year-olds. Because of how we've set up universities, teaching is often seen as a second-class activity and unrewarded in evaluation at the same time that universities are facing serious pressure to be more attentive to students. And so we've got mixed incentives.

These only get further confused by how faculty lines are allocated, prompting professors to compete with other departments and then to compete within their department, recognizing that courses need to be filled and intense competition exists among academics for positions and funding. This, in turn, prompts strategic graduate students to pursue acceptable lines of inquiry and position themselves in order to be judged by their peers in a way that will give them the acceptable kudos. And, hence, we arrive at the "least publishable unit" problem, where people aren't doing social science because it matters for the world, but because it enables a form of career stability.

The problem with the academy as a site of research isn't just its infrastructural nightmare. It's the fact that it means that academics are living in a relatively cloistered world. There's a reason that most psychology research involves experiments with college-aged people. And most anthropologists lament that fieldwork is only truly possible when one is a graduate student because of the responsibilities of being faculty. What life experiences do graduate students have to help them choose a line of inquiry? It's not surprising that so many social-science students pursue questions related to identity and sexuality. That's where they're at. That's where I was at.

But if we want to matter, we need to think critically about the questions we ask — and the questions we don't ask — and what influences that distinction. We relish the idea of peer evaluation in both funding and publication, but are unable to reckon with our collective myopias and get defensive whenever someone asks what the hell we're doing. And we need to find better ways of collectively identifying hard and important questions to ask, arenas of under-interrogated issues, and knowledge that the public needs.

he questions we ask are increasingly dependent on the fads and obsessions of our disciplines, of academic life, and of the funders who are made up of our academic peers. I don't care if social science matters to us scholars. I became a scholar because I believe that knowledge can make the world better. Social science can matter, but whether or not it will is dependent on us.

When we believe that we have a monopoly on asking important questions, we do ourselves a disservice. It's dangerous that we think that basic research starts with the questions we find important rather than trying to understand the knowledge that society is missing. Peer review suggests that we are the only ones who have purchase over whether a study is valuable enough to fund or publish. True impact will never be achieved by trying to keep within an ivory tower. Impact requires being deeply embedded within the social world that we seek to understand and recognizing that the key to success is to inform and empower through knowledge.

Calls for accountability happen when there is widespread doubt in the value of a practice. It is ineffective to resist accountability by rejecting measurement or eschewing the pressure. Instead, social scientists must engage in serious acts of self-reflection and ask ourselves what we've done to lose the public's faith in the pursuit of knowledge. Cries of elitism, narcissism, and nepotism aren't without cause, even if they are infuriating and feel misplaced. In a society with significant inequality and growing downward mobility, every system of power is coming under attack. There is growing frustration that practices that were supposed to be "of the people" are getting professionalized and elitist. I'm not arguing that the answer is to rally around amateur social science, but to be reflective on what we are actually doing, not just what we say we are doing. As scholars, we often talk a better game than we walk.

If we want social science to matter, we need to be much more thoughtful about the questions we ask, the infrastructures we build, and the incentives that we accept and promote. In essence, we need to be accountable for the privilege we have to pursue knowledge. And with that privilege, we need to stop lamenting how the public doesn't understand or respect our work and start using our social-scientific knowledge to truly understand and appreciate why. Of course, we might not like what we see.

文革中北京突击出题考教授,600多人九成不及格|陈徒手专栏


文革中北京突击出题考教授,600多人九成不及格|陈徒手专栏

2016-07-28 陈徒手 凤凰读书

辽宁朝阳市农村生产队考生张铁生,在1973年大学招生的文化考查中交了白卷,但却在考场写了一封愤怒抨击考试的信件。 (图为"白卷英雄"张铁生)





进入七十年代以来,为贯彻毛泽东"七二一"指示,全国高校开始从工农群众中间选拨学生,招收了一批批工农兵学员。由此改变了文革前长久实行的招生制度,相应的考试方式也变得简易。但就是这么简单应付的考查办法,遭到辽宁朝阳市农村生产队考生张铁生"一张白卷"的冲击,他在1973年大学招生的文化考查中交了白卷,但却在考场写了一封愤怒抨击考试的信件。时任辽宁省革委会负责人、毛泽东侄子毛远新抓住这个由头,在幕后运筹中央级媒体,有预谋地刊发了《一份发人深思的答卷》长篇报道,在全国范围内掀起了"反潮流"的运动。

"交白卷"事件在高校酿成不小的波澜,相当多的高校教师通过各种方式表达心中的不解,民间的抵触还是隐约地呈现出来,高层觉察到这种涌动的敌意和抵制暗潮。如何看待张铁生的白卷?旧的考试制度是否可行?有的地方悄悄地对教授、副教授进行突然的文化考试,试题大都是1973年高校招生中的理科题目,让教师出丑,以此来弹压学校教师说怪话的风气。

毛远新闻讯后也想尝试一下效果,就把沈阳医学院做为试点单位,突然召集基础部38名教授、讲师到教室考试,果然有不少教授当场答不上考卷,事后被迫承认"张铁生交白卷是可以理解的"。毛远新对此表示:"这个办法很好,各校都可以试试"。"考教授"之风就由此从辽宁刮起,经北京、上海吹向全国。江青在1974年中央会议上以表扬的口吻说道:"这个考教授,是从东北开始,就是张铁生。"

毛泽东知悉后有所附和,1973年12月中旬与政治局部分成员、军区将领谈话中,几次提到不要看不起"儿童团",他直接提议在北京要把八大学院的教授集中起来,出一批题考他们。高层一向知道毛对教授的轻蔑态度,毛最著名的语录之一就是:"对于资产阶级教授们的学问,应以狗屁视之,等于乌有,鄙视,藐视,蔑视。"文革前他就再三表态,最厌恶的就是老师用对付敌人的办法,搞突然袭击,出怪题偏题整学生。

遵照毛的指示,1973年12月30日上午,国务院科教组、北京市科教组召开会议,确定对北京17所高校的教授、副教授进行一场考试。上午刚开完会,就组织专人在清华大学出题,考题则是从1973年全国高校招生的数、理、化考题中挑选,选定后即印考卷,紧急送往各高校。下午至晚上,各校即以开座谈会的名义,事前没有通知,骗教授们到会议室或教室,突然宣布考试,并特意强调依据旧教育制度的考试方法,规定考场上不许交头接耳,要求两小时内交卷。一些在校的工农兵学员出现在考场,充当临时监考人,无形中就变成社会上流传的"学生考教授"的版本。

对于此次突然考试的意义,北京市委1974年1月17日向中央的专题报告中阐述道:"广大革命师生员工认为,这场考试是对旧考试制度的一次批判,是对资产阶级右倾回潮的一个反击,是对张铁生反潮流精神的一个支持,是对教育革命的一个促进,对大多数教授来说也是一个深刻的路线教育。"报告中坦承,此次考试对教授们震动很大,学校里反映强烈,对高校的思想面貌将有较大的改善,有望提高教师的思想觉悟,批判资产阶级世界观,切实改革文化考查问题。

工农兵大学生:50后一代的青春记忆

市委报告中透露,参加12月30日考试的教授、副教授共613人,及格者仅53人,占8.6%;不及格者560人,占91.4%。其中得零分(包括交白卷)的209人,占34%。参加考试的理工科教授,不及格者301人,占85%,其中又有20人得零分,占6%。参加考试的259名文科教授,没有一个人及格,189人得零分。清华大学参加考试的143人,除体育、美术等专业的12人得零分外,及格的仅24人,有9个一、二级教授和一个留苏博士都不及格(见1974年1月17日《中共北京市委关于考大学教授的情况和反映向中央的报告》)。教授中不及格者占九成和零分者占三成,成绩如此之差,也出乎主持者的意料之外,更让他们欣喜若狂,津津乐道,似乎一下子抓住教授们的软肋和把柄。实际上,让不同学科(尤其是文科)的教授应付同一种理工试卷本身就是荒唐之事,违背了治学递进、得失相间的学科规律,许多初级阶段的基础考题不会做或习惯性的遗忘应是正常不过的教学现象。

从一些题型来看,并不是特别有难度。有一些容易理解的简答题,还是有三分之一的教授没答上,或者写下一些怪异的答案或做打油诗。这里就有拒绝作答和不屑配合的成分,也暗藏着些许愤懑的抵触情绪。

在市委报告中,特别点到北京师大历史系教授白寿彝的名字,他和北大三个理科教授,在宣布考试后,题目都没看就交了白卷,"扬长而去"。还有一位特异表现的是钢铁学院地质教授谢树英,由于对政治运动中受审查不满,拒不答卷,但没有离场。文革之后,白寿彝女儿回忆说,父亲当场识破四人帮不可告人的诡计,在答卷上只写了自己的名字拂袖而去,表达一种愤怒和抗争。

市委报告中并没有对白寿彝的举动有何不利的评价,只是含糊地说,"有的人则有这样那样的不满情绪"。在白寿彝的名字旁加以注释说,"党员,十大代表"。白寿彝在当时是被党组织重视的高级教授,能成为党的十大代表已是当时知识分子的极高殊荣,属于重点保护的"革命化"代表人物和特殊党员。他居然离场飘然而去,不给组织面子,也让市委及高校党委人士百般不解。

让市委开心的是,这次考教授暴露了一些教授无知、可笑的面目,可以让广大群众认识到资产阶级教授的无能和欺骗性。答卷中有一些需要死记硬背的常数,如冰的熔解热是多少,清华大学力学"权威"、老右派钱伟长、北京大学热力学专家王竹溪也没有答出来,本行业的常识题为何落空,也确实令人们费解。钱伟长自己事后也承认,这次"考糊了"。

政治上偏右倾的清华大学党委副书记、副教授何东昌一向不为市委所喜,觉得他过于自负,做事张扬,曾经与人说过:"全校四十多个专业都能说上话,凭我一支笔、一张纸,就能算出人造卫星的轨道。"而这次他居然考了不及格,在答题中出现了-2-1/2-1/2=1的大笑话,让市委内部有一种解气之感。

何东昌曾"诬蔑"工农兵学员像面包,一捏就瘪。这回清华来自工农战线的学生则嘲讽说,他才真是面包,一考就瘪了。 市委报告中引用了清华、北师大等校的工人发言,他们兴奋地表示,路线不同了,时代变了,学生考教授了。有的工人说,平时教授的架子挺大、尾巴翘得很高,很吓人,看不起工农兵。这一考,许多人"考蔫了",煞了一下资产阶级的威风,打败了对教授的迷信,大长了工农兵的志气。

北京师大历史系教授白寿彝,在宣布考试后,题目都没看就交了白卷,"扬长而去"。

市委报告中也没有一味地丑化教授,还是尽力显现安抚、拉拢的政策一面。借用工农兵学员的发言内容,市委领导多次强调,这次考试,不单纯是考业务,而且是考政治;不是出哪一个教授的洋相,而是用事实教育他们,使他们认识到如果不前进,搞倒退、回潮、复辟,是没有出路的,目的是为了调动他们起来和我们一起向封资修开火。

一些参加考试的教授一再表示颇受震动,触动很大,从中受到教育。他们原来以为是出席重要会议或赴宴,想不到参加了这么一场罕见的特殊考试,内心极为紧张、焦虑,有的甚至不知所措。

应该说,历经文革几年的磨炼,在异常恶劣的政治环境中,许多教授已经有了较强的适应能力,能自动地应对袭扰而自保。再则,教授们浸泡政治运动几十年,担惊受怕,长期被强迫灌输,对官方政策有较多的认同感,在行为上已懒于对抗。思想洗脑的结果便是,丧失了部分思考的自省能力,容易附和党组织的任何决定,轻易表示赞同和拥护的态度,并始终保持自我批评的姿态。

在市委致中央的工作报告中,我们就可以看到成批量的教授们的表态发言,大都是从正面去肯定"考教授"的政治意义,批判教授群体的所谓"不当"言行,不惜以自污的方式来应付过关。譬如,清华大学教授童诗白说,我念过几个大学,大小考试不下千次,可谓"身经百战","千锤百炼",这次一考,证明"金字塔"还是不行的。清华大学建工系教授陶葆楷说,原来我们这些人实践方面不行,搞建筑的到农村连猪圈也不会盖,出了洋相,没想到在文化考查上也出了洋相。清华水利系教授张光斗交卷时连连说道:"考得不好,原形毕露,原形毕露。"

涉及新旧考试制度的是非,大多数人反映,通过这次考试,受到了一次很好的路线教育,他们对旧考试制度的看法有了一些变化,对教育革命的认识也有了一些进步。北医教授胡汉生说:"旧考试方法是典型的资产阶级考试方法,从封建主义到资本主义社会,从考状元到考博士,都是沿用这种方法。特别是苏修的'三堂会审',弄得学生很紧张,压力很大。我们过去吃了几十年的苦头,现在反过来又用这一套整工农兵学员,这确实是个大问题。"北师大教育学教授王焕勋说:"这样一考,使我们进一步认识了旧教育那一套东西的反动性。"钢铁学院教授高澜庆、于学夫说,自己受孔孟之道和修正主义教育路线的毒害很深,也毒害别人,总认为不考不放心,用这种考试方法和标准录取学生是大错特错。

不少教师想起1963年毛泽东在春节座谈会上对教育制度的谈话,认为十年过去了,考试问题还没很好解决,有的教师习惯走老路,仍以"了解学习情况"为名,对工农兵学员搞突然袭击。由此他们认识到,毛主席的指示仍有重要的指导意义,资产阶级知识分子还顽固地想继续统治学校,因此教育革命必须继续坚持下去。

市委报告中用两句话语概括了教授们的心声:"这一考把我们考醒了。""离毛主席的教育路线近了。"清华大学教授张维的一句话被认为更贴切、到位:"这次考试,对教育革命考出了一点感情。"

进入七十年代以后,中央高层对重新开张的高校工作并不持乐观的态度,认为与文革前的修正主义教育路线没有做有效的切割,围绕着招生制度的改革,两条路线、两种世界观的斗争一直尖锐地存在着,有些人特别是一些教授看不起工农兵学员,继续利用考试这个手段对工农兵学员实行"管卡压"。此次考教授的目的之一,就是要迫使教授们承认自己知识体系的不足、缺陷,认可张铁生"交白卷"破天荒的革命意义。官方在考教授后所收集到的反映中,有意地多集中在对张铁生事件的表态上。

报告中列举相当多的事例,以此佐证教授们的认罪程度。清华大学教授孟昭英说:"过去对张铁生的信不服,经过这次考试服气了,认识到他是正确的反潮流。"北大教授张龙翔、张小霞说:"这一考,才觉得张铁生的精神很可贵,张铁生确实造了修正主义的反。"北京师范学院副教授王光兆说:"这些题原来是考工农兵学员的,和文化大革命前基本一样,理论联系实际,反映了智育第一的流毒,这就是右倾回潮。"北大教授金克木说:"用这样的题考工农兵,完全是刁难,是有意阻碍工农兵上大学。"

通过这么一次用心难测的考试,一些教授因考试低分失尽面子,也看不出危机的处理前景,只能顺着官方的宣传口径来表态,而且态度更为激昂、偏激。一些教授异口同声地说,出偏题、难题,搞业务挂帅,就是资本主义回潮和复辟,用分数卡工农兵,就是资产阶级专无产阶级的政。北大副教授沈克琦说:"这些考题都是死记硬背的书本知识,不联系生产实践,看不出分析问题、解决问题的能力,只能把青年引向埋头读书、'三脱离'的老路上去。"有的教授干脆直接表示,我一拿到考卷就站到了张铁生一边了。

反对的声音是极其低弱的,近乎牢骚,甚至是模糊的、忽略不计的。北大教授梅振安说:"这样考,没人当教师了。"工业大学教授侯汝勋在试卷上写道:"这些数、理、化题,考生都应该知道,否则,以后学习专业就无法进行,将被世界上其他各国远远抛在后面。"这种反应仅限于个别教授,并没有恶意抗上,但能委婉、含蓄地表达也属不易。

1974年1月5日,上海市革委会文教组模仿辽宁、北京的做法,也对全市18所高校650教授、副教授进行考试,分政治、语文、数学、理化四部分共17题,考试结果及格65人,占10%;不及格585人,占90%。这个考试结果及比例与北京大体相近。1月25日在批林批孔动员大会上,江青、姚文元、谢静宜拿两地考教授的结果和事例,互相插话,极尽奚落之能事。江青说,这两次考都有缺点,就是没有出社会科学的题目。

由于江青的交待,也鉴于有些文科教授对这次考试不服气,北京市委文教组曾拟定再出一些文史哲、政治方面的题目,专门对文科教授进行一次考试,"以剥夺他们的借口"。但从后面的实际情况看,此次文科教授考试并没有按计划举行,估计被汹涌而来的批林批孔、反右倾翻案风运动所打断。

1974年元旦前后,北京各院校党委曾分别组织参加考试的教授、教授开座谈会,向他们讲明这次考试的目的和意义。市委报告中这样描述,"座谈会重温毛主席关于教育革命的教导,引导他们正确认识国内外的大好形势,同时肯定他们几年来的成绩和进步,勉励他们加紧世界观的改造,和革命的教职员工一起,同修正主义回潮作斗争,争取做教育革命的促进派。"一打一拉,严厉与抚慰,轮换"好人"与"坏人"的角色,这都是党内斗争与工作的常态。

1974、1975年教育界反右倾翻案风运动翻江倒海,牵扯到高层的权谋,人人经历一场恶梦般的争斗,撕杀成风,出口害人。再回过头来1973年12月30日考教授,就犹如一个别样的小插曲,一个莫名其妙的过场戏。

 "The realism I allude to may crop out even in spite of the author's opinions... Balzac was politically a Legitimist," etc. etc. So wrote Engels to Margaret Harkness in April 1888 (Marx-Engels, Über Kunst und Literatur, Berlin, 1952, pp. 122-3).Cf. Marx's saying "sie wissen es nicht, aber sie tun es" prefixed as a motto by G. Lukács to his Ästhetik; cf. his The Historical Novel, tr. H. & S. Mitchell, p. 31: "Scott ranks among these great writers whose depth is manifest mainly in their work, a depth which they often do not understand themselves, because it has sprung... out from a truly realistic mastery of the material in conflict with their personal views & prejudices." Marx to Maxim Kovalevsky: "A writer must distinguish between what an author in fact says & what he thinks he is saying" (S.S. Prawer, Karl Marx & World Literature, p. 374).Freud's distinction between "l'effetto tragico" or "senso" or "contenuto segreto deIIa leggenda" & "la morale" or "ideologia" of a tragedy has been compared to Engels's distinction à propos of Balzac's realism (Francesco Orlando: "Letteratura et psicoanalisi" in Letteratura italiana, Einaudi, vol. IV, 1985, p. 569).In short, Engels had an inkling of what modern critics call "intentional fallacy", and confirmed what Hugo had proclaimed as early as 1852 at Balzac's funeral that the novelist "à  son insu, qu'l le veuille ou non", was "de la forte race des écrivains révolutionnaires" (Oeuvres choisies, éd. Hatier, I, p. 1034). The whole passage has become one of the "squashed quotatoes" (see James Joyce, Finnegan's Wake, New York, 1937, I, p. 183) in the ponderous jargon-riddled writings of trade-Marxist critics; they find it a very present help when they want to "annexer tous ceux a qui ils ne peuvent dénier toute valeur", to borrow Gide's apt description of the tactic of Catholics in dealing with...(see Journal, 13 Mars & 2 Novembre, 1930, Éd. "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade", pp. 972-3, 1014). Recently, F.W.J. Hemmings has salvaged an early article of Zola's published in Le Rappel, 13 May 1870, in which Zola echoed Hugo & anticipated Engels by calling Balzac "ce démocrate sans le savoir [qui] a réclamé la liberté du peuple en croyant demander des cordes pour le garrotter" (PMLA, June 1956, p. 353).Baudelaire in 1864 spoke of "une est-ce de critique" paradox to "traître le monarchie Balzac nommé de subversion"(Oeuv. comp., Pléiade, p. 1173).B. Croce, La Poesia, 5a ed., p. 117: "Verso quello stesso che dicono di se i creatore della opere... guardinghi perché non di rado s'ingannano e ingannano coi fini che si propongono a cui credono ma che, contradicono col fatto, al quale soltanto bisogna tener fiso l'occhio della mente, perché la poesia ha per unico fine se medesima"; pp. 306-7: "... le intenzioni e i fini dei poeti rimangono de necessità affatto estranei alla poesia, e... non importa quel che il poeta si propone o vuol fare o crede di fare, ma unicamente quel che esso fa, ancorché inconsapevole e in contrasto col fine professato: questo è force il più gran merito De Sanctis nella metodologia della critica letteraria... 'Le immagini ch'egli [Tolstoi] ha create hanno loro propria vita, independentemente dalle intenzione dell'autore' (P. Kropotkin, Ideali e realtà nella lett. russa, trad. ital., p. 120)..."De Sanctis, a propos of Manzoni: "Spettacolo interessante e molto istruttivo è la lotta fra l'ispirazione e la teoria, fra la spontaneità artistica e la riflessione critica... Così è avvenuto a Manzoni, cosi a Dante e cosi a Tasso. La loro genialità li salvò dalle loro teorie" (Gli scrittori d'Italia, a cura di L. Russo, II, p. 27).That there is often some discrepancy between the actual meaning of the work itself & the intended meaning of the author is a well-known fact in literary history. In his notes to Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads, Blake, for example, writes...[16]: "I do not know who wrote these Prefaces: they are very mischievous, & direct contrary to W's own practice" (A. Gilchrist, Life of William Blake, "Everyman's Library", p. 339). See De Sanctis's eloquent conclusion to his essay Schopenhauer e Leopardi(1858): "Perchè Leopardi produce l'effetto contrario a quello che si propone. Non crede al progresso, e te lo fa desiderare; non crede alla libertà, e te la fa amare. Chiama illusioni l'amore, la gloria, la virtú, e te ne accende in petto un desiderio inesausto... È scettico, e ti fa credente; e mentre non crede possibile un avvenire men tristo per la patria comune, ti desta in seno un vivo amore per quella e t'infiamma a nobili fatti" Saggi critici, ed. L. Russo, II, p. 159; cf. also p. 183 on Ariosto's "intenzione" in Orlando Furioso). This idea appeared first in Alessandro Poerio's poem "A Giacomo Leopardi" written in 1834: "Ed il tuo disperar così si adorna / e trasfigura di beata luce / che al ver, cui chiami errore, altrui conduce" (Poeti minori dell'Ottocento, a cura di L. Baldacci, I, p. 323). And De Sanctis was fond of saying: "si fa a distinguere il mondo intenzione e il mondo effetto" (L. Russo, ed., Gli scrittori d'Italia, I, p. 103). D.H. Lawrence, Studies in Classic American Literature, New York, 1923, p. 3: "The artist usually sets out — or used to — to point a moral & adorn a tale. The tale, however, points the other way, as a rule. Two blankly opposing morals, the artist's & the tale's. Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper functions of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it"; "The Novel"; "Oh, give me the novel! Let me hear what the novel says. / As for the novelist, he is usually a dribbling liar" (Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine & Other Essays, Philadelphia, 1925, p. 123).Nietzsche: "Die Autor hat den Mund zu halten, wenn sein Werk den Mund auftut" (Menschliches, Allzumenschliches, Bd. II, Abt. i,, §140, Werke, K. Schlechta, I. S. 790).Oscar Wilde: "The Critic as Artist": "When the work is finished it has, as it were, an independent life of its own, & may deliver a message far other than that which was put into its lips to say"[18] (Frank Kermode, Romantic Image, p. 46: "This is a perfectly logical anti-intentionalist position").An excellent example is Don Quixote whose intension is to ridicule chivalry & whose effect the creation of an "amiable humorist" (cf. S.M. Tave, The Amiable Humorist, pp. 152 ff.).Other examples are Milton's exaltation of the Devil in Paradise Lost "without knowing it" (see H.J.C. Grierson,Cross-currents in Eng. Lit. of the 17th Cent., pp. 256-7); Alfieri's sympathy with tyrants in his tragedies (see Croce, Europ. Lit. in the 19th Cent., p. 7-8).Cf. Wolfgang Kayser, Das sprachliche Kunstwerk, 4teAuf. Bern, 1956, S. 217 ff. on the "Idee" of a work in two senses: "die Sinneinheit der dichterischen Welt" vs. "eine verstandesmässig erfassbare, moralische These" (S. 221), citing as example EuricoMadame BovaryDer Grüne Heinrich, etc. René Wellek & Austin Warren, Theory of Literature, "Peregrine Books", p. 42: "The meaning of a work of art is not exhausted by or equivalent to its intension" etc. (also pp. 148-9).M. Kinkead-Weekes: "Clarissa Restored?" (RES, May 1959, pp. 156 ff.) shows how, annoyed & alarmed by "a distortion of the..."...to drive its message home in terms the crudest reader could understand. Cf. Paul Léautaud, Journal Littéraire, II, P. 313: "[Dans la novella pièce un Divorce] Bourget mettait en opposition le mariage indissoluble et l'unison libre, toutes ses sympathies allant au premier. Le public, lui, applaudissait la seconde. Dans L'Émigré, il met en scène ce cas de l'officier catholique... et celui de l'officier qui ne connaît que la discipline.... Celui qu'il approuve, c'est le premier, bien entendu. Le public, lui, applaudait la second.... Ca devient comique, ce grand écrivain conservateur et moralisant qui ne réussit qu'à faire applaudir les thèses contraires à celles qu'il veut soutenir."Goethe: "Bilde, Künstler! Rede nicht!" (G. Büchmann, Geflügelte Worte, S. 140).Claude-Edmonde Magny, Les Sandales d'Empédocle, p. 30: "Il y a deux parts dans un livre, comme dans toute oeuvre d'art: d'abord le message conscient de l'auteur, ce qu'il a en expressément l'intention d'y mettre...; ensuite la vérité qu'il y révèle comme à sou insu..."Byron, Don Juan, IV. 5: "Some have accused me of a strange design / Against the creed & morals of the land, / And trace it in this poem every line: / I don't pretend that I quite understand / My own meaning when I would be very fine" (Variorum ed. By T.G. Steffan & W.W. Pratt, II, p. 365; cf. Notes in IV, p. 106).Northrop Frye, Anatomy of Criticism, p. 5: "When Ibsen maintains that Emperor & Galilean is his greatest play & that certain episodes in Peer Gynt are not allegorical, one can only say that Ibsen is an indifferent critic of Ibsen." Cf. Henri Peyre, Le Classicisme francais, pp. 106 ff. on the mistake of Brunetière & Bray et cie who have relied too much on the "les préfaces et les déclarations theoriques des écrivains... qui protestent de la pureté de leurs intentions morales et de l'utilité didactique de leurs [oeuvres]... La préface de Phèdre de Racine affirme si gravement ses intentions pieusementjansénistes est sur tant 'un chef-d'oeuvre diplomatique' (J. Cousin)" etc.; cf. Wellek, A History of Modern Criticism, vol. IV, pp. 249-50 on Dobrolyubov's adumbration of the "intentional fallacy", the discrepancy or even contradiction between an author's actual world-view as revealed in his work & his conscious intentions & explicit theories (illustrated by the case of Gogol).Wellek: "La teoria letteraria e la critica di Benedetto Croce": "[A propos of Luigi Russo's view that Verga's novels are 'un grido di protesta, un grido di libertà della miseria par tanta povera gente oppressa'] Verga può non essere profeta di un nuove ordine sociale (Russa sa che Verga era una conservatore... e non un rivoluzionario) ma segnala la necessità fatale del cambiamento. Traspare la concozione marxista di un significato 'oggettivo'" (Letteratura italiana, ed. Alberto Asor Rosa, vol. IV, p. 394).】【參觀七五○則。】

康海《康對山先生全集》十五卷,康熙時馬逸姿校刻本。德涵此《集》,其子梣編定,以體分類,而一體之中,先後顛倒,殊不便於知人論世,亦無從訂正次序。德涵詩、文皆氣懈詞率,匪特不得追踵李、何,并未足比肩邊、徐,僅與王敬夫伯仲。早作抗志希古者,每似"鸚哥嬌"體,時落凡俗,不能舉體雅則。晚年益頹然不衿飾,俚蕪無復致,格亦與《渼陂集》同概。《渼陂續集》卷中《康公神道碑》謂其"早年喜《嘉祐集》,在館閣時倡文必秦、漢"云。今《集》中文之刻意復古者,尚有虎賁中郎之觀;其太模擬秦、漢者,於八家絕無影響。詩更村言黔調,雅道掃地。卷七《贈李獻吉往寧夏餉軍》第二首云:"君詩清且新,予詩蕪而雜。"王麟洲《序》(《王奉常集‧文部》卷六《康對山集序》)謂文多"曼衍無當",於情實"不無蕪譌","五、七言古、律間,多率意之作。又慕少陵直攄胸臆,或用時人名號、爵里,或韻至便押,不必麗於雅故"云云。文章得失,蓋寸心自知,而亦後世相知者矣。余取卷九《聞故人楊用之有書付鄉縣親友責望賤子因成小詩自見》("故人念我長孤曠,遠將携我雲霄上"至"丈夫磊落苟如爾,粉胸繡臆安能誑")、《扶風西原逢張丞邦彥馮秀才顯庸携酒相進因與痛飲樹下》("主人愛客知客意,遠出郊原待其至"至"英雄馬竇今安在,唯有秋風吹客衣")兩七古,雖乏警語,而抒寫疎落,得少陵皮毛;卷十五《憶昔》("憶昔承明侍從朝,先皇端拱似神堯。萬家簫鼓傳雙闕,三殿風雲護九韶。劍佩緩歸青瑣夕,蠻夷通欵越裳遥。可憐湖上龍飛後人事官曹漸寂寥")一七律七子體,《然燈紀聞》所謂"空殼子"、"大帽子"者,然飽滿有頓挫。卷二十一《與彭濟物書》("瑾之用事也,蓋嘗數以崇秩誘我矣。當是時,持數千金壽瑾者,不能得一級,而彼自區區於我,我固能談笑而却之")按江文通《報袁叔明書》略師子長之《報任安》,《與交友論隱書》頗仿叔夜之《絕山濤》,德涵是作,亦欲兼此二者,《集》中第一首文字,遠勝王敬夫《渼陂集》卷七《與劉德夫》之學《報任安書》而氣詞沓,然較之文通,終成傖夫,遑論司馬與嵇哉!(《列朝詩集傳》丙十六《王廷陳傳》云:"文尤長於尺牘,皇甫百泉稱其《與顧中丞監察書》若嵇康之《絕山宰》,《寄余懋昭、舒國裳》二劄即楊惲之《報會宗》。")【楊惲《報孫會宗書》、魏長賢《復親故書》(《全北齊文》卷四)(《北史》卷五十六)皆學子長。】【李開先《中麓閒居集》卷十《對山康修撰傳》云:"自李西涯為相,詩文取絮爛者,人材取軟滑者。……對山崛起而橫制之,天下始知有秦、漢之古作。……其於書也,覽而不誦,……蓋悉其意而遺其辭。嘗曰:'經籍,古人之魄也,有魂焉;吾得其魂而已矣。'……又嘗謂:'古人言以見志,其性情狀貌,求而可得。此孔子所以於師襄而得文王也。要之自成一家,若傍人籬落,拾人咳唾,效顰學步,性情狀貌灑然者無矣,無乃類諸譯人乎?君子不作鳳鳴,而學言如鸚鵡,何其陋也'"云云,倘亦因傴為恭之論。"學言鸚鵡"云云,可與《青藤書屋文集》卷二十《葉子肅詩序》所謂"今之為詩者,不免於鳥之為人言"云云參觀。王敬夫《渼陂續集》卷下《刻太微後集序》謂今世名士之文學先秦兩漢,詩學漢魏盛唐者,"學力或歉,模放太甚","掇其句,泥其故"云云,亦與德涵語相發。蓋二人退居田里後,過從最密,議論亦相同也。《孫月峯先生全集》卷九《與呂甥玉繩論詩文書‧之二十九》:"《太華》果歷下集中第一,然而非孟堅語。《康長公》、《于肅愍碑》、《管韓二子序》似未肯以彼易此也。"】【《四友齋叢說》卷十五謂:"康滸西得罪,雖出罣誤,亦由其持身不嚴,心跡終是難明";又云:"對山小時即任誕不羈,所娶尚夫人甚賢。對山每日游處狹斜,與夫人大不洽,即遣之歸。而夫人每日三餐,遣婢進其舅姑,對山悔悟,復為夫婦如初";卷十八記:"陸儼山至關中,詣對山,共談舊事,即取琵琶鼓二、三曲,欷歔久之";又記"對山常與一妓女同跨一蹇驢,令從人賫琵琶自隨,游行道中,傲然不屑";卷二十三論對山文"學《史記》之紆徐委曲,不知峻快斬絕",故"謂《范增論》後數句忙殺東坡";又云:"對山之文,天下慕向。刻集一出,殊不愜人意。王槐野云:'對山之文有甚奇者,編次之人將好者盡皆刪去。'"】【李中麓《四時悼內小序》云:"對山嘗簡予云:'內亡而出入不便,尋芳訪友之樂,不得自遂。'"】

〇卷十五《留別太微》云:"嵇康徒作形神論,魏野終非翰墨臣";《望希夷峽》云:"夫子若無驢背笑,陳橋誰識大風歌";卷十六《送王世英》云:"德化應如程伯子,恢宏真似許清臣",皆使宋人事入詩。七子復古,大言勿讀唐以後書,而何、李已不能自固其藩,篇什中時時闌入唐、宋人事,況其他乎?漁洋《詩問》卷下答劉大勤問律詩忌用唐以後事,云:"自何、李、李、王以來,不肯用唐以後事,似不必拘泥"云云;《傳燈紀聞》云:"取材於《選》,取法於唐,未盡善"云云,蓋未深考。《少室山房筆叢》卷三十六云:"何仲默每戒人用唐、宋事,而有'舊井潮深柳毅祠',用唐小說,亦大鹵莽"【詳見第七百六則】;陳臥子、李舒章、宋轅文稟七子遺教,撰《皇明詩選》,於此事遂煞費張致。如卷九吳國倫《登赤壁有感》:"風流蘇學士,所至癖登臨",轅文評曰:"實事不嫌宋人"(《四溟山人全集》卷十二《朱仙鎮弔岳武穆》七律殆亦此類耶?);卷十李夢陽《秋懷》:"幾時重起郭將軍",轅文評曰:"郭將軍豈謂忠武耶";《秋望》:"只今誰是郭汾陽",轅文評曰:"此詩《空同集》不錄,或以為結用唐人故耳。然如汾陽公亦自不妨"(按《中麓閒居集》卷十《李崆峒傳》載此詩,首句作"漢邊牆",可塞吳修齡之口);何景明《得獻吉江西書》:"買田陽羨定何如",臥子評曰:"雖用後事,然不甚覺";何景明《登樓觀閣》:"種桃無複問玄都",轅文評曰:"用唐事,殊有頹放之態";卷十一唐順之《上張相公》:"酋長西羌識姓名",臥子評曰:"似後事,然亦無傷" ,足見其詩律不嚴,隨意出入矣。以余所覩七子中,以《邊華泉集》中此類最夥,如卷三《■》云:"后山元苦節,同甫舊多才";《解印後病中書懷》云:"已破槐南夢,何湏澤畔吟";卷四《雪菴》云:"偶然同卲子,不是學袁安。數在梅花得,春從太極看";卷五《再次燕泉》云:"暮雨懶通巫峽夢,朝雲嫌入義山詞。翻慙綵筆留真賞,未有豪門紫玉巵按韓熙載事";卷六《和翁家訓四章》云:"蘭臺望重桓公雅,藝苑名過趙子昻";《送羅尹赴博羅司成》云:"看雲細和東坡句,捧日常懸北闕心";《送灤江王大理北上》云:"范老威名留紫塞,于公陰徳在金陵";《送杭世恩水部》云:"携鶴未須誇趙抃,載書聊復似張華";《文侍御宗嚴出按中州》云:"西臺御史桓公雅,南國詩人陸務觀";《再至居庸》云:"鎖鑰還須寇丞相,長城不用李將軍";《中元登先墓》云:"柳子敢忘丘墓想,王生真廢蓼莪篇";《坐中》云:"子卿心事羝須乳,太史文章鱷竟移";《和泛池》云:"白雪可須推郢調,黃州真屢夢坡仙。"其次則王敬夫《渼陂先生集》卷三《張方伯畫圖歌》云:"世上紛紛游蕩子,飽食不覽霍光史。漫道臯夔不讀書,用心只學羲之字。更有山東老學究,一部論語分前後。藏心未有五車餘,赤手何由補天漏";卷五《秋聲》云:"寫神舊有歐陽賦,愧我無能向短篇";《西歸留別吳守》云:"敢言獨樂歸司馬,且著斑衣戲老萊";《續集》卷上《閱張太微鑷白詩有感遂為長歌》云:"又不見六一公游神筆硯忘雷霆,年未半百蒼顏鶴髮稱醉翁";《五君子詠》(魏仲先、陳圖南);《燕山行》云:"囊琴常依趙抃鶴,路人爭避桓典驄";"謝安仍為蒼生起,寇準方資鎖鑰功";《次韻與湘崖子》云:"圖中河洛聞新說,袖裏參同諳古文";《畫六首為湘涯子賦》云:"老眼摩挲認畫圖,不知赤壁定西湖。千秋感慨應憐我,兩地風流總是蘇";《赤壁圖》云:"坡老躭秋興,蘭槳破夜濤";《雪夜》云:"青綾曾內直,白戰向誰論";《送郡守夏道亨辭官歸》云:"羞看傀儡棚頭戲,漫卷羲皇架上書",可謂連篇累牘者,即如迪功《贈別獻吉》、《寄獻吉》兩首中,亦尚有"何如李白在潯陽","一掬那傳少陵淚"(周文萃編《徐昌穀全集》卷九、卷十)等句也。又按范德機《木天禁語》云:"《事文類聚》事不可用,多宋事也。摘用《史記》、《西漢書》、《東漢書》、《新、舊唐書》、《晉書》字樣,集成聯對"云云,已以宋為界,七子特加嚴謹,上推之於唐耳。【范德機《木天禁語》云:"《事文類聚》事不可用,多宋事也。"謝茂秦引此語而評之曰:"復引蘇、黃之詩以為式教,以養生之訣繼以致病之物,可乎?"(《四溟山人全集》卷二十一《詩家直說》 ,參觀卷二十二駁許彥周教人熟讀義山、山谷以救淺易鄙陋云:"譬諸醫家用藥,稍不精潔,疾復存焉,彥周之謂也。")又云:"趙子昂曰:'作詩但用隋、唐以下故事,便不古也;當以隋唐以上為主。'此論執矣。隋唐以上泛用則可,隋唐以下泛用則不可,學者自當斟酌"(卷二十二)。】

〇卷十六《讀中山狼傳》:"平生愛物未籌量,那計當年救此狼。笑我救狼狼噬我,物情人意各無妨。"按三、四句即王敬夫《中山狼》院本狼答東郭生所謂"我本是個禽獸,怎麼責我忘恩負義"之意。《中山狼傳》見《東田集》卷五,觀卷七《狻猊圖》詩云:"平生不識負嵎虎,末路乃遭當道狼。仰天長嘯重展玩,安得借我懸中堂。"又卷十《有感》云:"性資愚拙,賦命迍邅。平日交游,中道改路。甚之有擠之井而下石者。因賦短章,用柬同志。"蓋馬氏之作,所以自寓感慨也。當時似甚傳誦,王敬夫有《中山狼》院本,《國色天香》卷九錄此《傳》入上欄,李元玉新編《一捧雪》第五折嚴世蕃家演劇即譜馬氏文 。《四友齋叢說》卷十五謂"空同賴康滸西營救,得免於死。後滸西得罪,空同議論稍嚴刻,馬中錫作《中山狼傳》以詆之",則似此《傳》為空同發矣,頗出附會。至德涵為空同作詩不少,玩其語氣,皆在身遭貶棄以前,極口推重(如卷十《懷李獻吉》:"李生當代傑,文賦似班揚。有志摧奸宄,無能立廟廊"云云;卷十一《贈李獻吉往寧夏餉軍》第一首云:"李杜有遺音,惟君可方駕"),於大復泊如也。迨廢居田里,大復以提學至閩中,交誼遂篤。大復既歿,嘉靖三年德涵作《何仲默集序》(卷二十七),隻字不及空同,有曰:"弘治時,上興化重文。一時能文之士,凡予所交與者,不可勝計。予顧獨以仲默為難能,毎見仲默之作,歎曰:'嗟乎!文其在兹乎!'其所論著,可以上薄屈、宋、賈、董,有相如、子長之風,顧世無知之者"云云,蓋毫不為空同地,渾忘嘗以班、揚、李、杜推之,想見康、李之隙末矣!惟卷二十七《渼陂先生集序》嘉靖十一年作、卷二十二《太微山人張孟獨詩集序》追記弘治時文章復盛,歷舉六子之名,乃復列空同於作者耳。

Juan Ramón Jiménez, Platero & I, Eng. tr. by Eloïse Roach. Poèmes en prose, I suppose; à laBaudelaire, of course. All the marks of the Beast are there. Watery-syrupy concoctions of sensibility, sentimentality & sophisticated simplicity. The elegiac pieces (Nos. 133, 135, 136, 138) on the dead ass's soul in Heaven are at the very heart of the tradition inaugurated by Laurence Sterne's gushing over, or, in the words of Irving Babbitt, "lavishing a disproportionate emotion upon" a donkey (Rousseau & Romanticism, pp. 144-6; see Also sprach Zarathustra, IVter Teil, "Die Erweckung" & "Das Eselsfest", Alfred Kröner Verlag, S. 452 ff.). Nietzsche who proudly declares: "Ich bin der Antiesel par excellence" (Ecce homoWerke, "Taschen-Ausgabe", Alfred Kröner, Bd. XI, S. 313), speaks somewhere of the "onolatry" of 19th-century leaders. One has only to compare the ironical rhetoric of Agrippa of Nettesheim's Encomium asini & the philosophical humour of Giordano Bruno's Cabala del cavallo pegaseo with the emotional rant of Coleridge's "To a Young Ass" or Victor Hugo's "Le crapaud" (La Légende des siècles, 53) & L'Âne, an interminable dialogue between the ass & Kant, to see Nietzsche's point. Jiménez's word "assography" (p. 92) might very well be adopted to cover all writings of this kind.

            Literary reminiscences here & there, e.g. p. 21: "The swallows are back... chattering tirelessly in their fluty chirping. They would tell the flowers all they had seen in Africa, about their two trips across the sea, how they sometimes lay on the water with one wing as the sail, or on the masts of the ships; they would talk of other sunsets, other dawns, other starry night..." 

a passage which loudly rings a bell. See Gautier's poem, "Ce que disent les hirondelles" (Émaux et Camées, éd. Charpentier, pp. 159 ff.) which might have owed a hint to Tasso's beautiful sonnet "Tu parti, o rondinella, e poi ritorni" (Rime, Parte III, no. iii, Poesie, a cura di F. Flora, ed. Riccardo Ricciardi, p. 762), and from which Oscar Wilde had already helped himself in "The Happy Prince." Jiménez seems to be quite well-acquainted with French poetry, e.g. No. 48 on Ronsard (pp. 79-80).

            I like best No. 60 "The Stamp" (pp. 99-100) & No. 101 "Echo" (pp. 156-7) — rather small pickings from such a large bundle on poor Platero's back. The book is profusely illustrated with drawings by Jo Alys Downs; in some of them, Jiménez presents a profile curiously like that of the egregious Mr. Pooter in The Diary of a Nobody, e.g. pp. 23, 110, 124, 173, 202.

《容安馆札记》661-665则

西林太清夫人聽雪小照

六百六十一

Heraclitus, Fr. 45: "They understand not how that which is a[t] variance with itself agrees with itself. There sits attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow & the harp" (Hippocrates & Heraclitus, tr. W.H.S. Jones, "The Loeb Classical Library", vol. IV, p. 485). This metaphor for "the unity of the opposite" (what Plotinus called "l'harmonie qui résulte des contraires", Ennéads, III. ii. 16, tr. E. Bréhier, "‎Collection des universités de France", III, p. 45;  cf. 第七五一則) or dialectic (see Jonas Cohn,Theorie der Dialektik, S. 6 on Heraclitus with whom "Widerspruch und Widerstreit selbst muss Erkenntnismittel werden"). Which reminds one of《老子》七十七章"天之道,其猶張弓", can now be supplanted by giving the "tenor" a "vehicle" perhaps unknown to the pre-Socratic Greeks. Morris R. Cohen, A Preface to Logic, p. 76: "Felix Adler has used the figure of the scissors to denote the fact that the mind never operates effectively except by using both unity & plurality like the two blades which move in opposite directions. Professor Marshall, in his Principles of Economics, has used the same figure to denote the mutual dependence of the economic factors of supply & demand. At other times the action of our jaws in mastication, or the necessity of applying a brake when you are going down hill, have appealed to me as representative figures" (cf. Cohen, Reason & Nature, p. 165 on "Theory of Polarity": "... like blades of scissors accomplishing the same task by moving in opposite direction"). Cf. Jeremy Taylor: "Isidore [Orig., Lib. VI, cap. xiv] in contemplation of a Pen observ'd that the nib of it was divided into two, but yet the whole body remained one: Credo propter mysterium; he found a knack it [sic.], & thought it was a mystery" (The Golden Grove, ed. L.P. Smith, p. 143). Incidentally Sydney Smith used a similar figure when speaking of marriage: "It resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them" (Lady Holland, A Memoir of Sydney Smith, new ed. N.D., ch. 11, p. 234). The Italians highlight another aspect of the simile: "Gli avvocati... sono come le lame delle forbici; si scagliano l'un contro l'altro, ma non si feriscono mai; chi ne tocca è il povero cliente che sta in mezzo" Dino Provenzal, Perché si dice così?, p. 53). Cf. Allan Wade on not including in his edition of Yeats's letters the correspondence between Yeats & Sturge Moore: "To have included Yeats's letters alone in the present collection, had that been possible, would have been, in Henry James's phrase, like trying to cut with one blade of a pair of scissors" (The Letters of W.B. Yeats, p. 15). See第七六九則Nietzsche, Menschliches, Allzumenschliches, Bd. II, Abt. i, §79: "Wir fördern mitunter die Wahrheit durch eine doppelte Ungerechtigkeit, dann nämlich, wenn wir die beiden Seiten einer Sache, die wir nicht im Stande sind zusammen zu sehen, hintereinander sehen und darstellen, doch so, daß wir jedesmal die andre Seite verkennen oder leugnen, im Wahne, Das, was wir sehen, sei die ganze Wahrheit" (Werke, hrsg. K. Schlechta, I. 768). Pascal's thought is frequently dialectical, e.g. Pensées, §353: "On ne montre pas sa grandeur pour être à une extrémité, mais bien en touchant les deux à la fois et remplissant tout l'entredeux"; §567: "Les deux raisons contraires. Il faut commencer par là sans cela on n'entend rien, et tout est hérétique. Et même à la fin de chaque vérité il faut ajouter qu'on se souvient de la vérité opposée" (Oeuvres, ed. L. Brunschvieg, XIII, pp. 267-8; XIV, p. 14). Cf. Goethe quoted in  又七六九則 

The Oxford Dictionary of Quotationsnded., 1954, p. 21 gives Émile Augier's play Le Mariage d'Olympe, I. i as the locusof the phrase "la nostalgie de la boue". Good for old Augier, pedestrian & prosaic, to have hit upon this expressive formula! But I find in Heraclitus, Fr. 54: "To delight in mud (bόrboro chaίrein)" (op. cit., p. 487); probably a boldly literal statement, especially as Fr. 53 runs: "Pigs wash in mud and barnyard fowl in dust."

When trying — without success — to track down Henry James's remark, "Tennyson was not Tennysonian", of which The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 2nd ed., p. 268 gives The Middle Years as thelocus, I recall Marx's famous disclaimer recorded in Engel's letter to Conrad Schmidt, Aug. 5, 1890: "Ganz wie Marx von den französischen 'Marxisten' der letzten 70er Jahre Jahre sagte: 'Tout ce que je sais, c'est que je ne suis pas Marxiste'" (Marx-Engels, Ausgewählte Schriften, Dietz Verlag 1955, II, p. 457). The "Marxist" can retort to Marx: "So much the worse for you! You would be one if you could." If it is true that "a science which hesitates to forget its founders is lost" (A.N. Whitehead, The Organization of Thought, Educational & Scientific, p. 115), a school of thought, in order to be a going concern, cannot afford to remember too well the ipse dixit of the dead and gone master. While bolstering up the prestige of the old sage & carefully preserving the patina of his ancient saws, it has to move with the times & accommodate modern instances. In other words, for Marxism to be a living force, it must be dead to Marx's own exhortations; or rather if Marxism is to live long, Marx must be safely dead, though his corpse is kept with all the reverence due to the loved one & prepared with all the mummifying skill of the mortician. Close attachment to his teachings would be a kind of spiritual and intellectual Mezentian union. Unfortunately, however, no school of living thought, qua school, can completely shake off its dead founder; it is therefore always a haunted house. New wine is put into the old bottle, but the cask will always savour of the first fill.Charles Maurras, Bons et Mauvais Maîtres: "Ainsi Hugo vaut mieux que l'hugolisme" (Oeuvres Capitales, III, p. 334).Frank Binder, Dialectic, p. 16: "He [Gorgias] would have never found a school, since it is the mediocrity of the pupil & not the eminence of the master that is multiplied."G. Ryle,Dilemmas, ch. 1: "So too Plato was, in my view, a very unreliable Platonist. He was too much of a philosopher to think that anything that he had said was the last word. It was left to his disciples to identify his footmarks with his destination.

            In repudiating his French disciples, Marx therefore shows much less wisdom than Nietzsche in Also sprach Zarathustra, I, xii, 3: "Allein gehe ich nun, meine Jünger! Auch ihr geht nun davon und allein! So will ich es. Geht fort von mir und wehrt euch gegen Zarathustra! Und besser noch: schämt euch seiner!... Man vergilt einem Lehrer schlecht, wenn man immer nur der Schüler bleibt" (Werke, Alfred Kröner, Bd. VI, S. 114). Croce also says: "I meri ascoltatori del mònito,... che ripetono combinano meccanicamente o various superficialmente le opere originali dei capiscuola, non apportano niente alla storia viva della poesia, e la stasi che ne consegue à rotta soltanto, in poesia come in filosofia, e dappertutto, dal cosiddetto 'scolaro infedele', dal fedelissimo scolaro infedele, da colui che ha qualcosa di proprio da dire, il solo degno del maestro, che con la sua forza voleva suscitare forza e non già dar luogo a inerzia" (La Poesia, 5a ed., p. 180); again: "È certamente assai penoso per chi ha posto certe definizioni e certi concetti e segnato le correlative metodiche, vedere le sue formole, di cui conosce, con la forza, il limite, e che vuol serbare vive e plastiche, in continuo sviluppo di ulterion determinazioni, vedere irrigidite in mano a gente che le adopera come se fossero mazze, picconi, accette, e simili grosse e pesanti strumenti da stroncare ed abbattere. [quoting Marx's boutade, he goes on] È l'atteggiamento che è tratto a prendere l'indagatore e espositore di verità in presenza del meccanico uso che si fa delle verità da lui ritrovate, e che anche lo porta e rifiutare ogni aggettivo tratto dal suo nome o il suo nome ridotto all'astratto con una terminazione in 'ismo'" (Ib., p. 310; cf. R.P. Blackmur, quoted in 第七百二則Tucker: "Nobody was less of an epicure than Epicurus himself"(Judith S. Neaman & Carole G. Silver, A Dictionary of Euphemisms, Unwin Paperbacks, 1984, p. 85).Cf. the Chinse zenists(《五燈會元》卷二神秀稱能大師"得無師之智";卷十三龍牙云:"江湖雖無礙人之心,為時人過不得,江湖成礙人去;祖佛雖無謾人之心,為時人透不得,祖佛成謾人去";卷十四道楷云:"若得心中無事,佛祖猶是冤家";《僧寶傳》卷二十九佛印云:"昔雲門說法如雲雨,絕不喜人記錄其語,見必罵逐曰:'汝口不用,反記吾語,異時裨販我去。漁獵文字語言,正如吹網欲滿,非愚即狂'";王陽明《傳習錄》徐愛《序》云:"門人有私錄先生之言者,先生聞之,謂之曰:'聖賢教人,如醫用藥,皆因病立方,酌其虛實、溫涼、陰陽、內外,而時時加減之,初無定說。若拘執一方,鮮不殺人矣'")

            André Gide, Journal, "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade", p. 1292: "... 'Je ne suis pas marxiste', s'écriait Marx lui-même, prétend-on. J'aime cette boutade. Elle veut dire: 'Je vous apporte une méthode nouvelle, et non point une recette, ni un système clos qui dispense désormais l'homme de tout effort de pensée. Ne vous en tenez donc pas à mes paroles, mais passez outre.'" That this is not what Marx means, nay, is the very opposite of what he means, can be seen from the context of the boutade in Engel's letter. Julien Benda is nearer the mark when he quotes it as pointing the moral of "les déformations que fait l'humanité anonyme des idées" (Du Style d'Idées, p. 162), and wisely adds: "Et pourtant ce qui constitue l'histoire des idées, en tant qu'elle est action et passion collective, ce n'est la pensées de Kant ou de Descartes que vingt solitaires lisent, c'est précisément la simplification qu'on font les manuels" etc.

Lang, The Swinburne Letters, IV, p. 147); Mark Twain, Notebook: "If Christ were here now, there is one thing he would not be — a Christian" (Clifton Fadiman & Charles van Doren, The American Treasury, p. 983); É.

太清西林春《天游閣集》五卷。詞旨纖俗,閨中人繡餘學語,填匡湊字,聊賢於博奕,往往拙劣可哂。如卷五《辛丑七夕先夫子下世三周年矣清風閣看初日有感》云:"當年舊句難忘却,可也靈魂憶我耶";又《戲答蘇嫗》云:"老嫗從容含笑道,苔階路滑向須扶。愛人若輩應如此,畢竟今吾非故吾",皆似唱本體,而王幼遐、冒鶴亭、況夔生等,乃艷說"男中成容若,女中太清春",蓋非特腦脂遮目,抑亦勢利薰心矣。陳雲伯攀附揑造,為太清所斥(見第二百四十四則),固咎由自取。然就詩論,雲伯儘非高手,為太清師則綽乎有餘。使太清果能求教通人,所造當不至是,惜其僅知與太素惡詩唱隨耳。【《詞學季刊》第二卷第四號影印《西林太清夫人聽雪小照》,皤然嫗矣,尚矜飾作態,殊不能想見當年風韻。第一卷第四號謂太清本鄂爾泰曾孫女,西林覺羅氏,幼經變故,養於榮邸包衣人顧氏,遂被選為側福晉。】

〇趨炎好色,人之常情。若乃好死人不可見之色,趨前朝不復熱之炎,以乞兒向火之心,作過門大嚼之態,秀才味酸,清客扯淡,兼莫須有與無聊賴,則冒鶴亭之於《天游閣集》是矣!胡漱唐《退廬詩集》卷三《答冒鶴亭》七律自注云:"鶴亭好談掌故,所輯顧太清遺事,不啻楊妃傳也"云云,語含嘲諷。今觀卷四太清詆陳雲伯詩後鶴亭有考訂,且云:"雲伯處處摹仿隨園,裝腔作調,到老不脫脂粉之氣,實實可詆。"蓋未嘗以溺以自鑑醜態也。《集》中附識,企羨揣想,涎流津出,如卷一《東山苗道士寄小猴》、卷五《戲答蘇嫗》按語是。尤可嗤鄙者,卷三《春游詩》按語云:"聞太清游西山,馬上彈鐵琵琶,手白如玉,琵琶黑如墨,見者謂是一幅王嬙出塞圖也。"太清婢學夫人,意度矜貴,力爭上流,與阮雲臺、許滇生、錢衎石家眷屬交往,寧作此角妓行徑?即令有之,事隔百許年,雖尚及見之,而能憶之,且為鶴亭鑿鑿言之乎?《日知錄》卷二十五《湘君》條云:"甚矣人之好言色也!太白,星也,而有妻;河伯,水神也,而有妻;常儀,占月官也,而《淮南子》以為嫦娥;小孤山訛為小姑;杜拾遺訛為十姨。"本亭林之意,若鶴亭者,科以覬覦貴人閨閣,意淫鬼交,亦非過耳。Kierkegaard "Like Leporello learned literary men keep a list, but the point is what they lack; while Don Juan seduces girls & enjoys himself — Leporello notes the time, the place, & a description of the girl" (Kierkegaard, selected by W.H. Auden, p. 20)Yeats亦嘲學究:"Old, learned, respectable bald heads / Edit & annotate the lines / That young men, tossing on their beds, / Rhymed out in love's despair / To flatter beauty's ignorant ear" ("The Scholars", Collected Poems, Macmillan, 1934, p. 158)Hugh Kingsmill "Poor Casanova, the hero of those sprightly academics who spend their lives letting I dare not wait upon In any case I could not" (Michael Holroyd,Hugh Kingsmill, p. 154)E.A. Freeman  "chatter about Harriet"  (Oxford Dict. of Quotations, 2nd ed., p. 211)。初不知尚有博雅之士以風流厚誣古人,借而自補平生未足之心者為之詠。《閱微草堂筆記》卷十一狐女詩曰:"深院滿枝花,只應蝴蝶採。喓喓草下蟲,爾有蓬蒿在。"若夫《孽海花》第三回,褚愛林傳言太清與龔定庵遇合事,則《孟心史叢刊》三集《丁香花》條已辨其誣,余不復贅。

戴望《謫麐堂遺集》文二卷、詩二卷。子高文雅歛,琢飾經術,欲為東漢人整齊安重之格,動成疲弛。詩與當時譚復堂、潘鳳洲等同宗尚,蓋從明詩入手,上攀漢、魏、盛唐。近體勝古體,五律每似徐昌穀之學盛唐,七律每學義山,調亮韻饒,非隔靴搔癢者。如文一之《記言遺族弟百禮》、詩一之《歷歷》、《自江寧歸杭州雜詩四十首》、詩二之《雜感五首》、《和周十二》、《別緒》則皆為龔定盦體。先君藏《復堂師友箋存》,中有周涑人一札云:"戴子高《自江寧至杭州四十首雜詩》章法甚好,漁洋《歲暮懷人》尚不及其團卓也"云云,蓋未知其師承所在。《復堂日記補錄》同治二年十一月廿一日謂:"子高於詩志識,而才力薄,未堪深論",其言頗允。

   〇《補遺》僅《景祐六壬神定經跋》一篇,殊為未盡。【《媿生叢錄》卷二:"謝湘谷先生言子高有《上曾文正書》最佳,今其《集》中不載。"】《復堂師友箋存》中有子高書三通,皆月旦人倫,平章學術,可以增補。又有"十五團欒月"五律一首,即詩二《別儀》,字句小異;《抽思》五古四首即詩一《泉州碧山巖宴集有作》之第二、三、四、五首,字句小異,當是刻《集》時脫落題目,誤以上屬《泉州碧山巖宴集》,遂使詞意與題義乖刺耳;《高門寓樓坐雨》一首云:"鬱鬱高樓迥,悠悠短晝眠。枯田春水外,猛雨落花前。夢裏華胥國,愁中利天。人生無一可,撫劍思茫然",則《集》中所無。

〇施均甫撰《墓表》云:"時兵事大定,文治聿修,自公卿以至將帥咸慕儒術,皆將稱道程、朱以蹤孔、孟。而君所講習,又與世違異。"【按《澤雅堂文集》卷六《戴子高墓表》字句與此本大異,無許語。】按子高丁卯正月六日金陵與復堂書云:"自設書局,名士麕集,然多考據之經學、江西宗派之詩、桐城之文章,下者為理學家言。"又按均甫《澤雅堂詩集》卷六《哭戴子高十首》,最足以考見生平,如第六首云:"佳耦招不來,怨耦推不去。勃谿一室中,久絕生人趣。孔門三出妻,古義今不據。決絕棄家鄉,隱忍對親故。……豈無小星詩,衾綢歌在御。旁生與側挺,亦足慰遲暮。吁嗟龍宮方,獨步不傳療妬。"即《復堂文續‧亡友傳》所云:"娶凌氏,強婦人也,不能事姑君。與異居,終其身。妻父凌教諭堃,子高則曰:'吾友教諭之學',不識為妻父"云云是也。第七首云:"開閣上相尊,接席經生重。六年任校讎,頗獲量才用。……雄雷震大厦,驚飈折隆棟。四海哭曾侯,無似斯人慟",自注:"曾侯薨,君哭之哀,疾遂亟。"徵之詩一《贈太傅曾文正公挽詞四首》、詩二《上湘鄉相國二首》、《送曾相國移督直隸二首》,一則曰:"九京誰可作,一藝愧相知";再則曰:"幸得見顏色,遂使忘疎賤";三則曰:"扣角自慚非國士,摳衣竊喜拜元侯",亦非偃蹇不屑者。而劉申叔作《子高傳》謂其"尤嫉視湘軍諸將帥,方張汶祥刺馬新貽,先生適居金陵,聞報拍案稱善,目汶祥為英傑。嗚呼!此可以觀先生之志"云云,不知何本?"湘軍將帥"語意尤含混。

〇子高與復堂書數稱劉開生,戊辰八月初十日書有云:"東南人物,無過毘陵。毘陵人士,眾首開老";又云:"所著書高寸許,文之波瀾意度,擬之味經先生,幾有'有若似夫子'之歎。"《遺集》文一《故禮部儀制司主事劉先生行狀》云:"孫某某開孫懌(此字疑'愷'之誤)最有名";又云:"客游金陵,與開孫玉遇,德量淵然,有黃憲、郭泰之風";詩二《贈武進劉開孫》云:"曠世得見君,自愧非匹儔。"《中和月刊》第二卷趙椿年《覃研齋師友小記》記開孫事頗詳,謂:"原名愷,改名翰清,道光丙午舉人,充曾惠敏使俄參贊。曾文正《復郭意城書》、李文忠同治十一年與文正會奏《派遣幼童出洋事實摺》、薛庸菴《敘文正幕僚》、陳頌南《籀經堂集》、張嘯山《舒藝室雜著》(乙編卷上)皆及其人"云云,獨遺却子高此《集》及張德彝《四述奇》(開孫隨曾惠敏使英、法,充參贊官,見光緒六年正月十四日日記;為使署同僚撰《惠敏叔澄夫婦六十壽序》,全文見五月初五日日記),何也?【馮夢華《蒿叟隨筆》卷五下記趙惠甫述曾文正軼事、《郭嵩燾日記》。】子高所謂"著書高寸許者",亦未知行世否?

〇楊葆光《蘇盦文錄》卷一《書戴子高箑》云:"頃嘯山翁寓書,以足下箑索字,且曰稱謂勿用'大人'字,何足下之好古也!惲子居戒弟子勿稱'大人',嘗謂:'不願以此施之於人,尤不願人以此施之於我。'其言良矣"云云。此亦子高遺事,可與念劬廬叢書中《復堂日記補錄》所記子高事並傳(如同治五年正月十三日載:"子高竊余前年所得陳奐碩父傳校《管子》走蘇州,咄咄怪事")。【張嘯山《舒藝室雜著》甲編下《書戴氏注論語後》:"注文簡古,頗有漢儒遺意。然公羊解經已多乖刺,邵公申傳益覺煩苛,劉申受乃述之以說《論語》,自鳴其專門之學,君復踵而加厲。凡古書題某氏注,多出自其門人尊師之詞,亦有後人題者,今自稱戴氏,失未思爾。"《楹聯偶記‧代作挽戴子高》云:"漢宋本無爭,笑眾口傳聞實誤;瑕瑜不相掩,到此時毀譽皆空";又云:"赤舌燒城,再入輪迴須慎口;青雲沒地,博通載籍豈虛生。"魏繇《邵陽魏季詞先生遺集‧復初文錄‧書曾文正公逸事》記:"子高不好洋務,言輒與公忤,公笑謝之。"】

《容安馆札记》666-670则

"Osculum infame" from Compendium Maleficarum (1608)

六百六十六

          José María Arguedas & Ruth Stephen, The Singing Mountaineers: Songs & Tales of the Quechua People (1957). The songs leave me cold, but the tales are a quite good read. They have to a striking degree the characteristics of all genuine folktales, impassive innocence & artless restraints: not only the improbable impossibilities related without the least suggestion of starry-eyed wonder, but love & death, violence & catastrophe are observed with dry eyes & touched on, as Thomas Edwards said of the editing of texts, with a dry finger (cf. Austin Dobson, Later Essays, p. 24). The clean & chaste freedom from emotion is different from practised self-control or reasoned fortitude (Spinoza's Acquiescentia, Goethe's Entsagung, De Vigny's Abnégacion or Nietzsche's Amor fati), both of which imply a mind seasoned by experience; in short it is neither sophisticated "dead pan" nor disciplined "stiff upper lip." It is rather a blithe imperturbability which combines invincible ignorance of the laws of things & men with tranquil incuriosity about the riddle of the universe or the meaning of existence. In such a book of life there are no marks of exclamation or interrogation. Folklorists, I am sure, will have no difficulty in fitting these hitherto unknown tales into Stith Thompson's types or showing them to belong to Jung's "archetypes des unbewussten." There are of course many familiar motifs & stock situations. For instance, in the amusing tale "The Head of the Town & the Demon", we read that people calling on the Demon must first kiss his buttocks, which will then expel a filthy fart & let loose a huge quantity of fecal matter in the form of gold & silver (pp. 114, 116). This naturally recalls the osculum infame or sub cauda osculatur as an act of homage to the Master of the Sabbat (see Montague Summers, The History of Witchcraft & Demonology, p. 137). The Devil's answer to his follower: "Ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta" [1] (Dante, Inferno, XXI, 139, Opere, ed. E. Moore & P. Toynbee, p. 31; the vigorous drawing "Der mit Gestand entweichende Teufel" given in E. Fuchs, Illustrierte Sittengeschichte, Ergänzungsband I, S. 156 might serve as an illustration of Dante's line); the donkey is the first story of Il Pentamerone, which, at the word "Arri, cacauro!" lets out "diarree d'oro e torbidi di gemme", an "evacuazione preziosa" (G. Basile, Il Pentamerone, I. 9, tradotta di B. Croce, p. 18); cf. Brüder Grimm, Haus- und Kindermärchen, "Tischen deck dich, Goldesel und Knüppel aus dem Sack" (Die Kinderbuch Verlag, S. 186); & the goose in the forty-first story, which "schizza flussi di scudi" (Ib., V. I, p. 472); & the scatological association of money (see Ernest Jones, Papers on Psychoanalysis, ed. 1918, pp. 676-7; Freud said: "Es ist bekannt, dass das Geld, welches der Teufel seinen Buhlen schenkt, sich nach seinem Weggehen in Dreck verwandelt.... Ja, schon in der altbabylonischen Lehre ist Gold der Kot der Hölle." See also 第五百二十四則 a propos of the catchphrase "Fall into a heap of shit & come out with a gold watch"). According to Luther, the devil expresses his scorn by exposing his rear parts… and man can completely defeat him by farting into his nostrils & telling him where his kiss is welcome (E.H. Erikson, Young Man Luther, pp. 61-2, 79). There is the famous story of the old Lapp woman who, confronted suddenly by a bear, whipped up her skirt to show the animal her private parts in order to shame it into immediate flight" (New Statesman, 10 April 1964, p. 556). Cf. La Fontaine's "Le Diable de Papefiguière" (Contes et Nouvelles, Garnier, pp. 319 ff.) in which Perrette scared away the devil by showing him her crack: "Elle fait voir... Et quoi? chose terrible. / Le diable en eut une peur tant horrible" etc. (p. 325).

《袁海叜詩集》觀自得齋叢書本。七古及近體詩學杜,亦衹得其皮毛,然尚非如七子之撏撦。所摹追乃在少陵蒼老之格,亂頭粗服,以率求真,亦異於七子之務雄濶也。風骨不堅,肌理不密,舍卷三《客中除夜》("今夕為何夕,他鄉說故鄉。看人兒女大,為客歲年長。戎馬無休歇,關山正渺茫。一杯柏葉酒,未敵淚千行")【戴復古《石屏詩集》卷四《九日》:"今日知何日,他鄉憶故鄉";趙長卿《南歌子》:"此日知何日,他鄉憶故鄉"】、卷四《京師得家書》("江水一千里,家書十五行。行行無別語,只道早還鄉")兩名作外,卷二《大醉率爾三首》、卷三《村居懷京下一二友生》、《望南邨》第一首、卷四《閒步》第二首("半雨半晴天氣,半開半落山花。半醉半醒游客,半村半郭人家")尚可諷詠,餘皆鱗所之而矣。

〇李滄溟詩中好用"風塵"二字,人呼為"李風塵";海叜詩中好用"老夫"二字,當稱"袁老夫"矣。

〇卷四《浦口竹枝》云:"浦口荷花生紫煙,花時日日醉沙邊。更將荷葉包魚蟹,老死江南不怨天。"按陳仁錫編《沈石田先生集》七絕《題畫》云:"秋林黃葉獨行人,短髪蕭騷兩鬢銀,老到江南窮不死,也勝騎馬踏京塵。"頗兼海叟詩與宋盧秉《題驛舍》云:"青衫白髮病參軍,旋糶黃粱置酒樽。但得有錢留客醉,也勝騎馬傍人門"(《宋文鑑》卷二十八)。

〇附錄引陸深《金臺紀聞》載:"太祖嘗欲戮一人,皇太子懇釋之。召海叟問,對曰:'陛下刑之者,法之正;東宮釋之者,心之慈。'太祖怒,以為持兩端,下之獄。"又《明良記》載:"一日,有父訟子者,帝已察其非罪,命付太子。太子論子得死,帝諭太子誤決獄,太子言:'子致父訟,雖冤死無赦。'帝問廷臣,莫有答者。忽班中一人對曰:'陛下所論,乃申天下之仁;太子所論,乃廣天下之孝。皆是也。'帝問:'對者為誰?'曰:'監察獄史袁凱。'"姚宏緒《松風餘韻》嘗謂海叜遺事記載多可疑,此其一也。按《金臺紀聞》一節,采入《紀錄彙編》卷一百三十二,而卷一百三十所采徐禎卿《剪勝野聞》亦載海叟此事,又在陸書之前。《史記‧魏其武安侯列傳》略云:"魏其之東朝,盛推灌夫之善,武安又盛毀灌夫所為橫恣,於是上問朝臣:'兩人孰是?'御史大夫韓安國曰:'魏其言是也,丞相言亦是。唯明主裁之。'武安怒曰:'與長孺共一老禿翁,何為首鼠兩端'"云云,海叟即師韓長孺故智耳。袁子才《小倉山房尺牘》卷四《答唐靜涵又一書》、《隨園隨筆》卷二十七《兩歧語自佳》稱引海叟答明太祖語及大覺禪師答李林甫語,蓋不知即《史記》所謂"兩端語",亦正宗門傳授機鋒也。《六祖大師法寶壇經‧付囑第十》云:"忽有人問汝法,出語盡雙,皆取對法,來去相因。究竟二法盡除,更無去處。"《全唐文》卷五百十二李吉甫《杭州徑山寺大覺禪師碑》云:"嘗有設問於大師曰:'今傳舍有二使,郵吏為刲一羊。二使既聞,一人救,一人不救,罪福異之乎?'大師曰:'救者慈悲,不救者解脫。'"《南部新書‧己》:"有江西廉使問馬祖云:'弟子吃酒肉即是,不吃即是?'師云:'若吃是中丞祿,不吃是中丞福'"《傳燈錄》卷六、《五燈會元》卷二本此作馬祖所道,隨園所道亦即此事,而說為李林甫與大覺。後世嘲弄禪門,亦每用此法。趙南星《清都散客笑贊》云:"鷂子追雀,雀投入一僧袖中,僧以手搦定曰:'阿彌陀佛,我今日吃塊肉。'雀閉目不動,僧只說死矣。張手,雀飛去,僧曰:'阿彌陀佛,我放生了你罷。'"咄咄夫《增補一夕話》卷四云:"一僧與婦同舟,目之不已。婦怒,命僕打之。僧乃閉目而坐,婦又命打。僧曰:'如今何罪?'婦曰:'汝閉目,乃想我,更不好。'"此其例。明太祖雖出身皇覺寺,未習纏誦,宜其不解耳。辯證法實亦不外乎此,參觀 Goethe: "Über Wahrheit und Wahrscheinlichkeit der Kunstwerke": "...Wortspiele dieser Art  selbst ein Bedürfnis des Geistes anzeigen, der, da wir das, was in uns vorgeht, nicht geradezu ausdrücken können, durch Gegensätze zu operieren, die Frage von zwei Seiten zu beantworten, und so gleichsam die Sache in die Mitte zu fassen sucht" (G.F. Senior & C.V. Bock,Goethe the Critic, p. 18); Jonas Cohn, Theorie der Dialektik, S. 284  "Bipolar" 之 "Gebietsabgrenzung"及 "Gegenseitige Anerkennung",正 George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, p. 37 所言 "'Reality control', they called it: in Newspeak, 'doublethink'.... to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out...." Marx 嘲法國憲法云:"Jede dieser Freiheiten [Press-, Rede-, Assoziations-, usw Freiheit] wird nämlich als das unbedingte Recht des französischen Citoyen proklamiert, aber mit der beständigen Randglosse, dass sie schrankenlos sei, soweit sie nicht durch 'die gleichen Rechte anderer und die öffentliche Sicherheit' beschränkt werde... Jeder Paragraph der Konstitution enthält nämlich seine eigene Antithese, sein eignes Über- und Unterhaus in sich, nämlich in der allgemeinen Phrase die Freiheit, in der Randglosse die Aufhebung der Freiheit" (Der Achtzehnte Brumaire des Louis Bonaparte, Diez, S. 26-7),不知此正其所謂"辯證",亦即 Julien Benda, Du Style d'Idées, p. 140: "Un mode de penser qui conduit fatalement à des affirmations totalement vaines, souvent risibles est la volonte de concilier à tout prix des notions qui par définition, s'excluent l'une l'autre. Ces moeurs, qui reviennent à proclaimer qu'une chose est en meme temps un cercle et un carré, s'observent éminemment dans la vie politique, l'orateur ne pouvant avouer aux masses, sous peine d'impopularité que tel advantage qu'il leur propos comporte logiquement le sacrifice de tel autre auquel elles tiennent aussi. Ainsi Casimir-Périer clame 'L'ordre, sans sacrifice pour la liberté'" (按可與納粹口號 "Geordnete Meinungsfreiheit"  New Statesman, 21 March 1959, p. 389 又 28 March 1959, p. 433 所嘲美國外交政策口號 "elastic rigidity", "firm elasticity", "united in flexible rigidity" )Rudolf Metz, Die Philosophischen Strömungen in Grossbritannien, Bd. II, S. 332: "Er [Bosanquet] Bradleys schroffes Entweder-Oder überall in ein milderes Sowohl-als-auch verwandelt hat"; Molière, La Bourgeois Gentilhomme, I, ii: Jourdain: "Vous avez raison tous deux"; Addison, The Spectator, No. 122: "That much might be said on both sides." 僧遭打事,正六祖所謂"更無去處",其事可參觀《東軒筆錄》卷十二:"馮京帥太原,以書詫於王平甫曰:'并門歌舞妙麗,吾閉目不窺,但日與和甫談禪耳。'平甫答曰:'所謂談禪者,直恐明公未達。蓋閉目不窺,已是一重公案。'"《圖書集成‧神異典第七十六》載《笑禪錄》:"問藥山如何不被境惑?曰:'聽他何礙!一長者妓席閉目叉手,酒畢妓重索賞,長者云:"我不曾看。"妓曰: "看的何妨,想的獨很。"'"錢秉鐙《田間文集》21《髠殘石溪小傳》:"一日同藿溪及予同赴城南齋,予亦僧服,過小巷,有壯婦,塗粉狼藉,叉手當門目之。既過,師曰:'世間有如此穢物,人偏好之,不可解也!'予嬈之曰:'我過未見有物,汝如何自獨見之?'師指罵曰:'忒欺心!'三人相與絕倒。"

 〇何大復《海叟集序》云:"李、杜歌行、近體誠有可法,而古作尚有離去者,未可盡法之也。故景明學歌行、近體,有取於二家,旁及唐初、盛唐諸人,而古作必從漢、魏求之。"按《漁洋詩問》卷上云:"滄溟先生論五言,謂:'唐人無五言古詩,而有其古詩。'此定論也。至虞山錢氏,但截取上一句,以為滄溟罪案,滄溟不受也"云云,未免曲為開脫。滄溟之論五古,正同大復之論歌行,蓋此說自弘正七子已然矣。滄溟語見《滄溟集》卷十五《選唐詩序》。

Émile Henriot, Maîtres d'hier & contemporains, 1955, pp. 320-1: "Louÿs recommandait à son nouvel ami [Claude Farrère] de refaire son livre en le recopiant.... Pratiqué par les écrivains soucieux de la forme, ce travail à la main est en effet la condition essentielle de la décantation de l'oeuvre et du perfectionnement du style." The word "décantation" is a very happy one. Cf. an equally felicitous use of the word in Lanfranco Caretti, Filologia e critica, 1955, p. 8: "[A propos of what he calls 'l'apparato sincronico' in the establishment of the definitive text of a Greek or Latin author] Quando noi, infatti, provvediamo alla ricostruzione di un archetipo, ci fondiamo sull' ipotesi di lavoro che la serie delle varianti risultanti dalla tradizione ci conservi celato il testo originale da scoprire, l'unico testo originale, mescolato alle varie corruzioni e interpolazioni. Questo giustifica l'opera, per così dire, di decantazione che noi compiamo per separare l'unica lezione valida delle incrostazioni parassitarie." Henriot also quoted from Joseph Caillaux's Mes Mémoires the sentence, "Il [Poincaré] m'abbandone pour s'agglutiner à M. Clemenceau", and comments: "S'agglutiner sonne assez bien..." (Éd. "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade", p. 123).

            Noel Coward, Present Indicative (Doubleday Doran & Co.), p. 50: "Mrs Astley-Cooper draped scarves over all mirrors because she said she could find no charm in her own appearance whatever." Judging from an entry in Gide's Journal, Fin Février 1903, "c'est Schwob étendant des papiers devant ses miroirs" (op. cit., p. 132), Marcel Schwob, who was notoriously ugly and was said to look like "un oeuf dur sans coquille" (Jules Renard, Journal, éd. NRF, p. 101), seems also to have suffered from this kind of inverted Narcissism — what Oscar Wilde describes in the Preface to Dorian Gray as "the rage of Caliban seeing his face in a glass."【Paul Claudel: "Gide est fasciné par les miroirs. Son Journal n'est qu'une série de poses devant lui-même" (R. Mallet, Paul Claudl et André Gide, Correspondance, p. 250).】Cf. Lucilius's epigram in The Greek Anthology quoted in 第七三八則 a propos of L'Adone, V. 26; Tasso,Aminta, I. i, Dafne: "... e già non dico / allor che fuggirai le fonti, ov' ora / spesso ti specchi e forse ti vagheggi: / allor che fuggirai le fonti, solo / per tema di vederti crespa, e brutta" (Poesie, ed. F. Flora, pp. 620-1). Cf. 李漁《憐香伴》第二齣闕里侯"惡影不將燈作伴,怒形常與鏡為仇";《清異錄》卷下《居室門》:"王希默簡淡無他好,惟以對鏡為娛,整飾眉髩;以杜甫有'勳業頻看鏡'之句,作'策勳亭'。"

There is a very amusing conversation in Octave Mirbeau's Le Journal d'une femme de chambre (p. 266). Mme de Rambure asked Sartorys, who was a notorious passive sodomite, how he succeeded in inducing the nuns to part with their jewellery. "Je me livre sur elles à des pratiques anti-naturelles," he answered. La baronne Gogsthein chipped in: "Qu'appelez-vous des pratiques anti-naturelles?" "Cela dépendde quel côté Sartorys place la nature," Maurice Fernancourt replied for him. There is a moral to this scabrous joke, to wit, "everything has two handles," as Epictetus said (Enchiridion, XLIII; Epictetus, tr. W.A. Oldfather, "The Loeb Classical Library", vol. II, p. 527). Cf. Bordeu's reply to Mlle de L'Espinasse's skittish inquiry about sodomy: "Tout ce qui est ne peut être ni contre nature ni hors de nature." Cf. Bishop William Warburton: "Orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is another man's doxy" (Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, second ed., p. 559); Feuerbach: "Nachgelassene Aphorismen": "Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Volk und Pöbel? Wenn der Pöbel glaubt oder thut, was den Herrschenden gefällt oder nützlichscheint, so ist der Pöbel Volk, im entgegensetzen Falle das Volk Pöbel" (Sämtliche Werke, hrsg. W. Bolin & Fr. Jodl, Bd. X, S. 316; G.A. de Caillavet & R. de Flers, L'Habit vert, I. ii: "Démocratie est le nom que nous donnous au peuple chaque fois que nous avons besoin de lui"); Eduard Engel, Deutsche Kunst, 22te  bis 24te Aufl., S. 179: "All dies Geschwätz von Objektiv und Subjektiv bedeutet, wenn irgend etwas, nur dieses: Objektiv ist meine Meinung, subjektiv jede andre; ich besitze die objektive ewige Wahrheit, ihr alle seid in schnöder Subjektivität befangen. Es erinnert an die schöne Erklärung von Egoismus: 'Dieser Mensch ist der verkörperte Egoismus! Über eine unterhalte ich mich miss ihm, und nicht ein einzig Mal spricht er von mir.'" One thinks also of vulgarity defined as "other people's behaviour" & sentimentality as "other people's feelings." This is a rather chastening thought to all who claim to be "revolutionaries" & "progressives"; at the same time let all those who are stigmatised as "counterrevolutionaries" & "reactionaries" derive what consolation they can from it. On whose side then is history? Alas! History, une fille mille fois violée, like Nature, is "double-barrelled" and can too play Sartorys's "fore-and-after" game — of course in her fashion.

            In 第六百四十九則, a propos of Croce's sharp distinction between "poetry" & "oratory" or "eloquence", I quoted J.S. Mill & the Yeats's who corroborated Croce by insisting on "solitude" &"intimacy" as the mark of the finest literature. When one soliloquizes in solitude or talks in intimacy, one does not raise one's voice; loud theatrical declamation is definitely ruled out. Saintsbury, too, while objecting to "the absence of quiet" in Ruskin, borrows the famous words of Goethe's poem to praise Pater: "On the apex of English prose, there is Rest" (A History of English Prose Rhythm, p. 420; "Wandrers Nachtlied", ii: "Ueber allen Gipfeln / Ist Ruh"). Cf. Angelus Silesius, Der Cherubinischer Wandersmann: "Wir beten: es gescheh, mein Herr und Gott, dein Wille; / Und sieh, er hat nicht Will, er ist ein ewge Stille" (F.J. Warnke, European Metaphysical Poetry, p. 190); Hegel's fine passge in his Ästhetik, Iter Teil, 3tes Kap. on "die heitere Ruhe und Seligkeit", "als den Grundzug des Ideals an die Spitze stellen" & "Heiterkeit & stille" of the gods (Aufbau-Verlag, 1955, S. 184).【Cf. S. 467 from...Carducci had perhaps the Goethean phrase in mind when he spoke of Foscolo as one who "ricercava le cime quiete della poesia... trasportava nella serenit omerica e pindarica il dubbio e il dolore moderno..." (Del rinnovamento letterario in Italia, quoted in Walter Binni, ed., I Classici Italiani nella Storia della Critica, II, p. 361). This applies, it seems, not only to the beautiful, but also to the good. Malebranche, for instance, said: "La raison parle bas,il faut de l'attention pour l'entendre... mais les sens, devenus insolents... mais si agréablement et si vivement, que l'esprit séduit et dominé suit aveuglement tous les désirs qu'ils inspirent" (Médit. Chrét., quoted in André Lalande, Vocabulaire technique et critique de la philosophie, 7e éd, p. 969); Heidegger puts the matter in a paradox: "Das Gewissen redet einzig und ständig im Modus des Schweigens. So verliert es nicht nur nichts an Vernehmlichkeit, sondern zwingt das an- und aufgerufene Dasein in die Verschwiegenheit seiner selbst" (Sein und Zeit, I, 3te Auf., S. 273). One also remembers "the still small voice" of the Lord in the Bible (I Kings, XIX.11); and it is only in the case of a scoundrel like Sampson Brass that the still small voice can loudly "sing comic songs with him" (see Old Curiosity Shop, ch. 66). Even the highest voluptuous happiness is quiet, e.g., in Tasso's beautiful poem "Tacciono i boschi e i fiumi": "Amor non parli o spiri, / Sien muti i baci e muti i miei sospiri" (Poesie, "Rime", Parte III, no. 68, ed. F. Flora, p. 791). All this comes home to a person living in an age of admass media when the people are governed, educated, entertained — in short, "softened up" & stupefied — with unrelenting noise, & when all thoughts & feelings have to issue in vociferous verbal diarrhea, & when even oratory & eloquence degenerate into roaratory & yelloquence, or to borrow the Abbé Galiani's pun on the logical forms of certain arguments in poems & speeches, the raisonnements become mere résonnements (quoted in Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du Lundi, II, p. 436). Cf. Meister Eckhart, Sermon, VIII: "The word lies hidden in the soul in such a way that one does not know it or hear it. Unless room is made in the ground of hearing, it cannot be heard; indeed, all voices & sounds must go out, & there must be absolute silence there & stillness" (James M. Clark, Meister Eckhart, p. 162); Wm. Watson: "The Mystery of Style": "Serenity based upon strength", "Passion plus self-restraint" (Excursions in Criticism, pp. 106, 107).【Jean Paul,Vorschule der Ästhetik, §11: "Der rechte Genius beruhigt sich von innen; nicht das hochauffahrende Wogen, sondern die glatte Tiefe spiegelt die Welt" (Werke, Carl Hanser Verlag, III, S. 578, 581).Aristotle,Nicomachean Ethics, Bk. VII, ch. 14: "This is why God always enjoys a single and simple pleasure; for there is not only an activity of movement but an activity of immobility, & pleasure is found more in rest than in movement."】【Cf. infra 第六百八十九則

            T. Sturge Moore: "I had always understood that Chesterton & Belloc were the two buttocks of one bum. Now I learn that you are as strongly for the one as against the other?!!" (Ursula Bridge, ed., W.B. Yeats & T. Sturge Moore: Their Correspondence, p. 20). Cf. a piece of dialogue in Tennessee Williams'sCat on the Hot Tin Roof, "Pelican Plays", p. 95: "'That half-ass story!' 'What's half-ass abut it?' 'Something's left out of the story.'"

Sturge Moore on a TLS review of his Armour for Aphrodite: "... with several drops of malignity in the mush" (Op. cit., p. 148). Cf. Paul Léautaud, Journal Littéraire, II, p. 41: "Vallette me dit qu'il y aurait quelques jolies lignes à écrire sur Hérold [his predecessor as dramatic critic of the Mercure de France], des fleurs recouvrant des épines"; Kathleen Tillotson's characterization of Arnold's description of Carlyle in the lecture on Heine: "the bunches of snakes tied up with flower" (quoted RES, Feb 1959, p, 108).

《五燈會元》卷一云:"世尊在靈山會上,拈花示眾。眾皆默然,唯迦葉尊者破顏微笑。世尊曰:'吾有正法眼藏,湼槃妙心,實相無相,微妙法門,不立文字,教外別傳,密付囑摩訶迦葉'"云云 。按此事意趣殊妙,而未詳所出。《景德傳燈錄》卷一初無記載,宋釋志磐《佛祖統紀》卷五《摩訶迦葉傳》註文引《梅谿集》云:"荊公謂慧泉禪師曰:'世尊拈花,出自何經?'泉云:'藏經所不載。'公曰:'頃在翰苑,偶見《大梵王問佛決疑經》三卷,有云:"梵天王在靈山會上,以金色波羅花獻佛,請佛說法,世尊登座,拈花示眾,人天百萬,悉皆罔措"云云'。"《梅溪集》未識誰作,王龜齡《集》中無其文也。釋智昭《人天眼目》卷五逕曰荊公云云,不言《梅溪集》。Suzuki, Essays in Zen Buddhism, I, p. 153 謂是古天竺遺說,即引《五燈會元》為注,實未探本。近覩西方著述,每援此典,如 R.G. Collingwood, The Principles of Art, p. 243: "There is a story that Buddha once, at the climax of a philosophical discussion, broke into a gesture-language as an Oxford philosopher may break into Greek: he took a flower in his hand, &d looked at it; one of his disciples smiled, and the master said to him, 'You have understood me.' It is therefore not true that vocal language has an exclusive function in the ex-pression of thought." 又 Allan Wade, ed., Letters of W.B. Yeats, p. 715: "Do you remember the story of Buddha who gave a flower to some one, who in his turn gave another a silent gift & so from man to man for centuries passed on the doctrine of the Zen school? One feels at moments as if one could with a touch convey a vision — that the mystic vision & sexual love use the same means." Nikos Kazantzakis, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel, 中之Prince Motherth 即釋迦也,其臨終時,諸子求囑付:"Master, before you die, grant us your wisest word!' / Then the serene face shone with a faint smile... / but he spoke not....

〇李義山《贈歌妓》第二首云:"只知解道春來瘦,不道春來獨自多。"馮《注》卷五說之云:"爾只解道'我春來消瘦',何不解道'我春來獨自'歟?"頗為得之,蓋言傷別憔悴,即《古詩十九首》:"相去日已遠,衣帶日已緩";《讀曲歌》:"逋髮不可料,憔悴為誰睹。欲知相憶時,但看裙帶緩幾許";《焦氏易林》卷二"師之噬嗑",又卷五"臨之大過"、卷七"無妄之恒"、卷十五"巽之乾"皆云"失信不會,憂思約帶"(卷五"蠱之謙","信"作"期",參觀卷六"復之節"云:"簪短帶長,幽思窮苦",卷八"恒之咸"作"幽思苦窮")之旨也。李清照《鳳凰臺上億吹簫》云:"今年瘦,非干病酒,不是悲秋";孫花翁《燭影搖紅》云:"絮飛春盡,天遠書沉,日長人瘦"(《絕妙好詞》卷二);趙汝茪《如夢令》云:"歸未,歸未,好個瘦人天氣"(《絕妙好詞》卷三);姚梅伯《賣花聲》云:"春痕顦顇到眉姿,只道寒深耽病久,諱説相思"(《國朝詞綜續編》卷十五),皆此意。孫、趙較義山為含渾,然仍點眼。清照語尤蘊蓄耐尋味,以二"非"逼出"是"來,却又不說是何,參觀 Burton, Anatomy of Melancholy 舉 "leaness" (Ovid: "fecit amor maciem") 為 "Symptoms of Love" 之一 ("Everyman's Lib.", III, p. 133)《兒女英雄傳》三十四回長姐兒見安公子下場,金鐲子落地;四十回長姐兒知安公子赴烏里雅蘇臺,"衣裳的腰褙,肥了就有四指",雖成笑枋,亦此意也;宋劉學箕《賀新郎》:"手展流蘇腰肢瘦,歎黃金、兩細香消臂。"

   〇孫花翁《望遠行》云:"量減才慳,自覺是、歡情衰謝。但一點難忘,酒痕香帕,如今雪鬢霜髭,嬉遊不忺深夜。怕相逢、風前月下。《浩然齋雅談》卷下載"按張亨甫《思伯子堂詩集》卷二十三《乙未九月將去福州述舊絕句》第十三首云:"何曾兩廡愛孤豚,漸覺中年百感存。只合落花風裏坐,看人兒女自銷魂" (句法參觀羅隱《偶興》云:"逐隊隨行二十春,曲江池畔避車塵。如今贏得將衰老,閑看人間得意人"),余最喜誦之,以為道得我意中事出 ,勝於花翁此詞。李易安《臨江仙》云:"誰憐憔悴更凋零,試燈無意思,踏雪沒心情" ;《南歌子》云:"舊時天氣舊時衣,只有情懷,不似舊家時",亦皆不似亨甫詩之能令人惘惘不甘、忽忽有失也。《一瓢詩話》稱張伯起詩"而今老去春情薄,漠漠寒江水自流" ,更不足道。

〇《四友齋叢說》卷三十七極稱王實甫《西廂‧混江龍》之"繫春心情短柳絲長,隔花陰人遠天涯近"數句,以為"雖李供奉復生,不能有以加之。"按周草窗《拜星月慢》云:"幾千萬、絲縷垂楊,繫春愁不斷";吳融《淛東筵上》云:"見了又休真似夢,坐來雖近遠於天",歐公《瑞鷓鴣》全取之;朱淑真《生查子》云:"人遠天涯近。"【歐陽修《千秋歲》:"夜長春夢短,人遠天涯近。"】實甫後來居上矣(按實甫語見《西廂記》第二本第一折)!楊恩壽《續詞餘叢話》卷二謂下句即《詩經‧蒹葭》章之意。

   〇《夷堅志》壬七《王彥齡舒氏詞》條載其詞云:"此事憑誰知證,有樓前明月,窗外花影。"按此本曹組《憶瑤姬》,見《花草粹編》卷十一,"知"字作"執"。

〇朱希真《樵歌》卷上《念奴嬌》云:"嬾共賢爭,從教他笑,如此只如此。雜劇打了,戲衫脫與獃底。"按《花菴中興以來絕妙詞選》卷四吳禮之《瑞鶴仙》云:"我直須、跳出樊籠,做個俏底",與此正貌異心同。"俏"者,"俐"也,"乖"也。《樵歌》卷中《憶帝京》云:"管教沒人嫌,便總道、先生俏",又倪君奭《夜行船》:"年少疎狂今已老,筵席散、雜劇打了"(《隨隱漫錄》卷三),劉後村《水調歌頭》:"莫是散場優孟,又似下棚傀儡,脫了戲衫還",《念奴嬌》:"戲衫拋了,下棚去",皆可以參觀。又按 The Greek Anthology, B. IX, 49: "Hope & Fortune, a long farewell. I have found the haven. I have no more to do with you. Make game of those who come after me" (tr. W.R. Paton, "The Loeb Classical Library", vol. III, p. 27)  Bk. IX, 134-5 (vol. III, pp. 69-71); Bk. IX, 172 (vol. III, p. 89)。後來如Apuleius, Metamorphoseon, Lib. XI. 15 僧正 (Sacerdos) 謂 Lucius云:"Eat nunc et summo furore saeviat et crudelitati suae materiem quaerat aliam";又 Le Sage, Gil Blas, Liv. IX, ch. 10: "Je veux... écrire sur la porte de ma maison ces deux vers latins en lettres d'or: Inveni portum. Spes et Fortuna, valetc. / Sat me lusistis; ludite nunc alios!" (Éd. "Classiques Garnier", p. 517) 無不師其意。Lenau: "Aus": "Ob jeder Freude seh ich schweben / Den Geier bald, der sie bedroht; / Was ich geliebt, gesucht im Leben, / Es ist verloren oder tot. // ... // Ich will nicht länger töricht haschen / Nach trüber Fluten hellem Schaum, / Hab aus den Augen mir gewaschen / Mit Tränen scharf den letzten Traum"亦此旨,而沉摯淒黯,異於作達。皆即朱希真詞所謂"雜劇打了,戲衫脫與獃底"也。希真不以世路風波為言,而托之逢場作戲。E.R. Curtius, Europäische Literatur und Lateinisches Mittelalter, 2te Aufl., S. 148-150 及 Jean Jacquot: "Le Théâtre du monde de Shakespeare à Calderôn" (Revue de la litt. comp., Juillet-Sept. 1957, pp. 341-372) 所考論 "mimus vitae", "theatrum mundi" 已見第四百十六則論《容齋隨筆》卷十四。

〇陸天隨《病中秋懷寄襲美》云:"雙燕歸來始下簾。"按《六一詞‧采桑子》云:"垂下簾櫳,雙燕歸來細雨中",殆本此耶?情生文,文生情,人多知之。事與景生文,而文亦生事、生景,則談藝者尟道。【G. Picon, La Littérature du XXe siècle, in R. Qeuneau, ed., Histoire des Littératures, "Pléiade", t. III, p. 1320: "Rhétorique?  C'est dire que la poésie est fondée sur le langage, non sur une expérience."】古詩寫景記事,固有如鍾記室所云"即目"、"所見"者,然已往往承襲,浸至倚聲,則更循文而不徵實 (Entdinglichung),乃古有此言,而不必今覩其事 (nicht in der Sache, sondern in der Sprache)  Hugo Friedrich, Die Struktur der modernen Lyrik von Baudelaire bis zur Gegenwart, 1952, S. 532。參觀 E.R. Curtius, Europäische Literatur und Lateinisches Mittelalter, 2te Aufl., S. 192 論中世紀詩中每道橄欖樹及師子等,非目驗其物:"Aber das Naturgefuhl... hat hier nichts zu suchen... Alle diese exotischen Bäume und Tiere sind... allerdings aus dem Süden bezogen worden, aber nicht aus Gärten und Menagerien, sondern aus der antiken Poesie und Rhetorik." 吳程九《笏菴詩》卷十一《尋詩》云:"尋詩偶步逐春行,景物新奇眼倍明。笑矣乎開風正過,鱗之而長水方生。南華莫悔曾經讀,爾雅還愁未識名。最愛放翁多巧句,不須屬對倩飛卿。"舍景物而掉書袋,固不待言,頸聯所寫,當時果眼見此二物耶?抑止見其一,憑空生出語言眷屬耶?春郊景物,舍花若柳,而獨言竹,豈非得"鱗之而"三字後,花柳成語無可屬對,遂以李陽氷"笑"字之說(見第三百五十九則論《攻媿集》卷七十八《跋文與可竹》),合之李白《笑歌行》首句耶?此詩非《笏菴集》中上乘,然可借以明因文生景,而非即景成文之理。Mallarmé, Divagations, p. 246: "... poëte, qui cède l'initiative aux mots",此之謂歟?("鱗之而"謂水,郭景純詩云:"潛波渙鱗起。"劉希夷《秋日》云:"魚鱗可憐紫,鴨毛自然碧。吟詠秋水篇,渺然忘損益",正謂水。)Marjorie Fleming 詠猴云:"His noses cast is of the roman / He is a very pretty weoman / I could not get a rhyme for roman / And was obliged to call it weoman" (The Oxford Dictionary of Quotation, 2nd ed., p. 208),雖稚騃語,正亦道出老於文字者伎倆也。【Henri Davray: "Ils cherchent des sentiments pour les accommoder à leur vocabulaire" (Ezra Pound, A.B.C. of Reading, p. 90 引】【H. Weber, La création poétique au 16e siècle en France, I, 116: "Pour Ronsard comme pour la plupart de ses amis, la fureur poétique naît le plus souvent de l'enthousiasme qu'ils éprouvent à la lecture des poétes anciens... elle jaillit plus rarement du contact direct avec la vie."】【《詩人玉屑》卷十七引《西清詩話》、《高齋詩話》、《漁隱叢話前集》卷三十四、《梅墅續評》論荊公句"殘菊飄零滿地金",歐公戲曰:"秋英不比春花落,為報詩人仔細看。"漁隱謂二家集中無此詩荊公謂此緣讀《楚詞》不熟,不知"餐秋菊之落英"也。《梅墅》謂"落"乃"初"、"始"之意,荊公誤解云云,亦賦物而不觀物,以古書障目之一例,所謂循聲而不責實也。詳見第七六一則。】【陸農師《埤雅》卷十七云:"蓋菊不落華,蕉不落葉。"格物之學,智過乃師矣!】【《四溟山人全集》卷二十二云:"意落於某韻,意隨字生,豈必先立意哉!"卷二十四云:"因字得句,句由韻成,所謂詞後意也。"】【湯賓尹《睡菴文集》卷一《蒹葭館詩集序》云:"情之所不必至,而屬對需之;景之所不必有,而押韻又需之。"】【Baudelaire: "Le soleil": "Trébuchant sur les mots comme sur les pavés / Heurtant parfois des vers depuis longtemps rêvés."

〇陸天隨《丁香》云:"殷勤解却丁香結,縱放繁枝散誕春。"按抵龔定菴(《續集》卷三)一首《病梅館記》。鄭子尹《巢經巢文集》卷三《梅垓記》云:"府君蓄盆梅一。一日先孺人撫而言曰:'凡物皆有全量。使夭閼不盡其性者,皆人為害之也。'因出植籬間"云云,與定庵《記》相發明。又按《荊公集》卷三十四《出定力院作》云:"江上悠悠不見人,十年塵垢夢中身。殷勤為解丁香結,放出枝間自在春。"太蹈襲矣!

〇袁珏生《恐高寒齋詩》卷下《壬子四月續開實錄館》第一首:"詩惜虞山後勝前",自注:"昔人評王覺斯書入國朝後遜於前,錢牧齋詩入國朝後勝於前。"按下語不曉何本,上語見王砥齋《山史初集》卷一云:"王宗伯於書道,天分既優,用工又博,合者直可抗跡顏、柳。晚年為人,略無行簡,書亦漸入惡趣。三百年來書,當以東吳生為最,愈看愈佳。宗伯則久之生厭。"

〇劉賓客《金陵懷古》云:"從而今四海為家日,故壘蕭蕭蘆荻秋。" 杜司勳《題曲屏》云:"今日聖神家四海,戍旗長捲夕陽中",用意相同。參觀第七八九則論少陵《過先主廟》。王棨《江南春賦》遂云:"今日併為天下春,無江南兮江北。"《全唐文》卷七百七十,又卷七百六十七陳黯《送王棨序》,又卷八百十七黃璞《王郎中傳》皆稱引此二句。則開高季迪《登金陵雨花臺望大江》云:"從今四海永為家,不用長江限南北";楊孟載《祁陽行》云:"天下於今皆樂土,何須更覓武陵溪";彭甘亭《白登》云:"今日一家中外合,春風不隔兔毛河"(《小謨觴館詩集》卷一)。參觀張炎《念奴嬌‧夜渡古黄河》云:"笑當年底事,中分南北。"

〇劉賓客《竹枝詞》云:"東邊日出西邊雨,道是無晴却有晴。"巧語也!楊發《翫殘花》云:"低枝似泥幽人醉,莫道無情似有情。"遂極有韻致,非徒口角玲瓏矣!其意則賓客《柳花詞》所謂"無意似多情"耳。

〇昌黎《送無本師歸范陽》云:"無本於為文,身大不及膽。吾嘗示之難,勇往無不敢"云云,思路甚創。《全唐文》卷八百二沈光《李白酒樓記》云:"嗚呼!太白觸文之強,乘文之險,潰文之毒,搏文之猛",即從韓語化出。

〇《全唐文》卷八百七十李從謙《夏清侯傳》,言竹簟也,亦《毛穎傳》、陸龜蒙《管城侯傳》、司空圖《容城侯傳》之體,而巧立名目,語意纖仄,如"碧虛郎"、"凌雲處士"、"卓立卿"、"凝秋叟"之類,蓋輯自《清異錄》卷三之類,如卷一"虛中子"、"甘銳侯"、卷三"淨君"、"涼友"。《王子年拾遺記》已肇此風(如"書倉"、"針神"、"舌耕"等),唐人如王仁裕《開天遺事》繼之。其它詩文如樊宗師以竹、柏為"青士"、"蒼官";鮑溶以淚為"眼泉";施肩吾以茶為"滌煩子",酒為"忘憂君";《朝野僉載》記養豬致富為"烏金"。宋人偽書踵事增華,《雲仙雜記》是矣。《清異錄》尤蔚為大觀耳。

〇《全唐詩》采《貴耳集》卷下載黃巢五歲《詠菊花》云:"颯颯西風滿院栽,蕊寒香冷蝶難來。他年我若為青帝,移共桃花一處開。"按此詩不見南宋以前記載。以洪景廬《唐人萬言絕句》之買菜求益,而亦未采及黃巢隻字,其為偽託,不問可知。朱孟震《續玉笥詩談》謂有作道聽錄者以此詩附會為明太祖作。【《七修類稿》卷三十七《清暇錄》載:"黃巢下第,有《菊花》詩云:'待到秋來九月八 ,我花開後百花殺。衝天香陣透長安,滿城盡帶黃金甲!'我太祖亦有《詠菊花》詩:'百花發,我不發;我若發,都駭殺。要與西風戰一場,遍身穿就黃金甲。'"按黃巢此詩見《貴耳集》,云兒時作。《夷白齋詩話》載此詩,亦云明太祖詠菊作。】《鏡花緣》第一回嫦娥請百花仙子發個號,百花齊放,百花仙子答曰:"開百花於片刻,聚四季於一時;,真是戲論"云云第四回武后云:"即便朕要挽回造化,命他百花齊放,他又焉能違拗"云云,蓋本之《卓異記》,可為此詩註脚。《羯鼓錄》唐明皇所謂"此事不喚我作天公,可乎?"霸道蠻做,古今強暴,真如一轍(來集之《倘湖樵書初編》卷一《草木各物仰遵朝旨》條亦舉明皇、武后二事)。【清康熙時張瀾《萬花臺》院本寫武后於九月命桃、梨再放(第三齣)。】

〇周紫芝《竹坡詩話》云:"有數貴人遇休沐,携歌舞燕僧舍者。酒酣,誦前人詩:'因過竹院逢僧話,又得浮生半日閒。'僧笑曰:'尊官得半日閒,老僧卻忙了三日。'一日供帳,一日燕集,一日掃除也。"按參觀 Samuel C. Chew, Byron in England, p. 63: "... the kind of Sunday which, Ruskin said, spoiled for him 3/7 of the week, Saturday by anticipation, Sunday itself, & Monday by remembrance."

Kazin & D. Aaron, p. 167: "I decline invitations to evening parties chiefly because beside the time spent, commonly ill, in the party, the hours preceding & succeeding the visit, are lost for any solid use..."

〇戎昱《苦哉行》第一首云:"彼鼠侵我廚,縱貍授粱肉。鼠雖爲君却,貍食自須足。冀雪大國恥,翻是大國辱"云云。按參觀 Aristotle, Rhetoric, 1393b 所引 Stesichorua 寓言:鹿侵馬地食草,馬乞援於人,人曰:"汝啣勒出我胯下,我執槍以逐鹿,事乃有濟。"馬允之,遂俯首受馭("Loeb Classical Library", tr. J.H. Freese, p. 275; 亦見 J.M. Edmonds, Lyra Graeca, II, p. 16) 。又《全唐文》卷六百八十二牛奇章《譴貓》謂"貓蠹踰鼠",舉漢之更始、晉之羅沖為比,謂"防盜而亂,則踰於盜";卷八百六十七楊夔《蓄貍說》謂野貍捕鼠,"攫生搏飛,舉無不捷",而"野心思逸,罔以子育為懷",如侯景之於梁武,疋磾之於劉琨。《郁離子‧构櫞篇》(《誠意伯文集》卷三):"趙人患鼠,乞貓於中山。月餘,鼠盡而鷄亦盡,子曰:'盍去諸?'父曰:'吾之患在鼠,不在乎無鷄。'"Machiavelli, Il Principe, cap. 13 論此最深切:"[Le arme ausiliarie] sono per chi le chiama sempre dannose; perchè perdendo, rimani disfatto, e vincendo resti loro prigione" (Opere, a cura di Mario Bonfantini, p. 44).【Germ.

《潛夫論》議論佳而文朴僿,蓋《論衡》之流。《務本篇第二》云:"今賦頌之徒,苟為饒辯屈蹇之辭,競陳誣罔無然之事,以索見怪於世。愚夫戇士,從而奇之。此悖孩童之思,而長不誠之言者也。"按即柏拉圖及中世紀道學家非詩之說,參觀 J.E. Spingarn, Literary Criticism in the Renaissance, pp. 4-5

〇《愛日篇第十》云:"治國之日舒以長,故其民閒暇而力有餘;亂國之日促以短,故其民困務而力不足。所謂治國之日舒以長者,非謁羲和而令安行也;所謂亂國之日促以短者,非謁羲和而令疾驅也。"仲長統《昌言論‧理亂篇》:"夫亂世長而化世短";李長吉《相勸酒》云:"羲和騁六轡,晝夕不曾閑。彈烏崦嵫竹,抶馬蟠桃鞭",正其意。餘見第二百四十八則論墨憨齋主人《山歌》卷五。又按《大雅‧既醉》:"其類維何?室家之壼。"《十駕齋養新錄》卷一曰:"'壼',《傳》訓為'廣',《國語》叔向引此章而云:'壼也者,廣裕民人之謂也。'夫古人先齊家而後治國;父子之恩薄,兄弟之志乖,夫婦之道苦,雖有廣厦,常覺其隘矣"云,殊有妙義。亦可謂:治國之境寬以廣,亂國之境促以迫。《詩‧正月》所以歎局天蹐地,《節南山》所以難蹙蹙靡騁也。叔向語見《周語下》。

〇《鹽鐵論‧大論第五十九》:"是猶遷延而拯溺,揖讓而救火也。"按《宋文憲公全集》卷三十七《燕書》"趙成陽堪宮火"一篇,即敷陳"揖讓救火",以資笑枋。

〇荀悅《申鑒‧政體第一》云:"睹孺子之驅鷄也,而見御民之方。孺子驅鷄,急則驚,緩則滯。方其北也,遽要之,則折而過南;方其南也,遽要之,則折而過北。迫則飛,疎則放。志閑則比之,流緩而不安則食之。"按南要之北,北要之南,《唐音癸籤》卷十七謂韋蘇州詩"驅鷄嘗理邑"、許丁卯詩"遯跡驅鷄吏"皆用此,其意可參觀第二百三十二則論《二程遺書》卷十八伊川論學者扶東倒西語。急、緩二語,可參觀《全後漢文》卷七十四蔡邕《連珠》"琴緩張則撓,急張則絕";《佛說四十二章經》:"沙門思悔欲退。佛問之曰:'汝昔為何業?'曰:'愛彈琴。'佛言:'絃緩如何?'曰:'不鳴矣!''絃急如何?'曰:'聲絕矣!''急緩得中如何?'曰:'諸音普矣!'《雜阿含經》卷九之二五四,又《出曜經》卷六,《真鋯》襲之。"劉賓客《調瑟詞》即本此意。

〇《牡丹亭》第十折《驚夢》云:"裊晴絲吹來閒庭院,搖漾春如線。"奇語也!下文云:"遍青山啼紅了杜鵑。"花作鳥啼,春如絲漾,思路字法,正爾同揆。《李笠翁偶集》卷一《貴顯淺》云:"以游絲一縷,逗起情絲,費如許深心!聽歌《牡丹亭》者,百人之中,有一二人解否?"是也。以情為絲,自吳子華以來,已成常語,蓋自"思緒"推類而得,實本之《楚辭‧九章‧悲回風》云:"糺思心以為纕兮,編愁苦以為膺",王注:"膺,絡胸。"見第六百二十二則。至以情絲牽合游絲,少陵《白絲行》衹云:"落絮游絲亦有情,隨風照日宜輕舉"而已。王涯《春閨思》始云:"愁見游空百丈絲,春風挽斷更傷離。"皎然《效古》則申言之曰:"萬丈游絲是妾心,惹蝶縈花亂相續。"呂勝幾《謁金門》詞曰:"俊雅風流不見,定被鶯花留戀。千尺遊絲舒又罥,繫人心上綫"(《歷代詩餘》卷十一);程過《謁金門》詞曰:"愁似游絲千萬縷,倩東風約住"(《歷代詩餘》卷十二)。【劉文成《踏莎行‧詠游絲》云:"弱不勝烟,嬌難著雨、如何綰得春光住";張埜《水龍吟‧詠游絲》云:"縈回不下,似欲繫,春光住"(《歷代詩餘》卷三十六、七十五)。】金星軺注《青邱詩集》卷一《長相思》云:"長相思,思何長!愁如天絲遠悠揚,搖風曳日不可量。未能絆去足,唯解結離腸。"一反義山《春光》詩所謂"幾時心緒渾無事,得及游絲百尺長?"【周紫芝《太倉稊米集》卷三十八《吳傳朋作游絲書為作數語書軸尾》自注乃云:"'游絲'二字,前人語中無及此者,唯歐陽公有'游絲寂無事,百尺拖清光'之句。"亦寡陋之至矣。】又按臧晉叔《負苞堂文選》卷三《玉茗堂傳奇引》云:"此案頭之書,非筵上之曲"云云,又譏若士"逞汗漫之詞藻",六字定讞。若士詩文詞曲,造語用字,無不鹵莽滅裂,英雄欺人。(周櫟園《書影》卷二:"徐文長知湯義仍先生特深,然評其《感士不遇賦》,既以'四裔語譯字生'譏之,又云:'此不過以古字易今字,以奇譎語易今語。如論道理,卻不過只有些子。'其推之雖力,其詬之也,亦甚不少矣。"沈際飛評選《玉茗堂集‧賦集》卷一《廣意賦》評:"却似象胥,不漢語而數夷語。"皆可參觀。)【楊恩壽《詞餘叢話》卷二記程雨蒼謂:"《牡丹亭》疵纇尤多,如'沉魚落雁鳥驚喧,羞花閉月花愁顫','魚雁'而單提'鳥','花月'而單提'花';'閒凝眄,生生燕語明如剪,嚦嚦鶯聲溜滴圓',下二句主聽,與上三字不貫。"】笠翁此節,暢論曲文之詞采與詩文之詞采非但不同,且要判然相反,因舉若士造語雖"費經營"而"欠明爽"云云,亦謂不易搬演也。二說已逗 "The long divorce between the stage & literature" (New Statesman, 25 Oct. 1958, p. 563) 之意,亦即 Fritz Hochwälder  "Theater ist keineswegs Literatur. Es kann zur Literaur werden... Von Anfang und in Zeiten höchster Blüter was echtes Theater immer dein Zirkus zugewandter als dem Seminar, der Clownerie näher als der Studierstube.

〇金星軺輯注《青邱先生詩集》卷十七《宮女圖》云:"小犬隔花空吠影,夜深宮禁有誰來?"《列朝詩集傳》謂"有為而作,觀國初昭示諸錄,及高帝手詔豫章侯罪狀可知。"徐釻《本事詩》引《堯山堂外記》謂:"張尚禮作《宮怨》詩云:'庭院沉沉晝漏清,閑門春草共愁生。夢中正得君王寵,却被黃鸝叫一聲。'高帝以其能摹寫宮闈心事,下蠶室死。"此事正與青邱相類。《靜志居詩話》謂:"青邱《題畫犬》云:'莫向瑤階吠人影,羊車半夜出深宮。'不類明初掖庭事,二詩或是刺庚申君而作。"《明詩紀事》甲籤卷七遍引三家之說。按金氏所輯青邱《遺詩‧紅蕉仕女》云:"憑仗小厖休吠影,深宮那得外人來?"豈青邱三用此意耶?竹垞所引《畫犬》詩見卷十八。諸君似皆不知青邱作意,本之王涯《宮詞》云:"白雪猧兒拂地行,慣眠紅毯不曾驚。深宮更有何人到?只曉金階吠晚螢。"又卷九《百花洲》云:"豈唯世少看花人,縱來此地無花看";卷十《約諸君范園看杏花》云:"休言亂後少花看,得到花前人亦寡。"卷十三《牧》云:"但知牛背穩,莫笑馬蹄忙";《遺詩‧牧童》云:"誰知牛背穩,不似馬蹄忙。"【卷十四《清明呈館中諸公》云:"白下有山皆繞郭,清明無客不思家。"按黎延瑞《芳洲集》卷一《思歸》云:"清明寒食能多雨,白下長干又一年";張伯雨《貞居先生詩集補遺》卷上《湖上雅集》云:"花先寒食清明過,人自長干白下來";高得暘《節菴集》卷四《暮春有感》云:"寒食清明節,長干白下春。"】【吳鎮松厓《題青邱梅詩後》云"雪滿山中高士臥,梅花典故美成知。竹垞但說吟松好,忘却香篝素被詞。"自注:"周美成《詠梅》詞:'更可惜、雪中高士,香篝薰素被"',正用其意。朱竹垞乃為此句似松不似梅,誤矣!"(《小匏菴詩話》卷五引。)】

Dante's passage on vocabula pexa and vocabula hirsuta in De vulgari eloquentia, Lib. II, cap. 7 (Opere, ed. E. Moore & P. Toynbee, p. 395) has been embroidered upon by Edith Sitwell in her gushingly hypersensitive A Poet's Notebook, pp. 19 ff. Curious enough, no one has noticed that there is in European literary criticism a long tradition of "the word made flsh", to adopt St. John's phrase. Demetrius in his treatise On Style already mentioned the fact that "musicians are accustomed to speak of words as 'smooth', 'rough', 'well-proportioned', 'weighty'" etc. (tr. W. Rhys Roberts, "The Loeb Classical Library, p. 411). Dionysius of Halicarnassus went so far as to speak of "words smooth & soft as a maiden's cheek" (On Literary Composition, tr. W. Rhys Roberts, p. 234). The Italian theorist Sperone Speroni [4], to whom Du Bellay was heavily indebted, studied "la 'testura della parole'"; to quote De Sanctis's summary: "La parola ebbe una sua personalità, fu isolata dalla cosa; e ci furono parole pure e impure, belle e brutte, aspre e dolci, nobili e plebee" [5] (Storia della Letteratura Italiana, a cura di B. Croce, riv. da A. Parente, II, p. 145). Joubert, too, repeatedly observed: "Quand on entend parfaitement un mot, il devient comme transparent; on en voit la couleur, la forme; on sent son poids; on aperçoit sa dimension, et on sait le placer" (Pensées,"Libraire Académique", Tit. XXII, 10); "Les beaux mots ont une forme, un son, une couleur et une transparence" (Ibid., Tit. XXIV, iv, 7). When Aldo Capasso criticises Pascoli and Mario Praz criticies D'Annunzio for their "amor sensuale della parola" (Walter Binni, I Classici Italiani nella storia della critica, II, pp. 648, 670), or when Charles Maurras takes Renée Vivien & the Comtesse de Noailles to task for their "sensualité verbale": "Les vocables reçoivent ce poids matériel, cette valeur physique, ce goût de chair qui... deviennent sensibles au toucher" etc. (Le Romantisme féminin, pp. 153 ff.), they apparently fail to see that the so-called "decadent" or "romantic" sensibility of these poets has a respectable classical ancestry. Incidentally, Edith Sitwell who makes great play with the word "texture" and with feminine adhesiveness clings like a vine to such towers of strength as Dante, Blake, Wagner & others, might very well have included Sperone Speroni among her means of literary support. [6] Cf. Croce, La Poesia, 5a ed., p. 52: "Amare e cercare le espressioni poetiche come cose o (che qui è lo stesso) come persone" etc. & p. 256: "... una libidine esercitata sulle parole delle poesie altrui è quella del D'Annuzio... le sue appropriazioni... erans mosse... dal piacere di mettere nel suo 'harem', e possedere nella loro carnalità, certe immagini e certe parole..."; June E. Downey, Creative Imagination, pp. 62-6 on words as "things-in-themselves", & Gautier's famous passage on words as "des pierres précieuses qui ne sont pas encore taillées et montées" in his essay on Baudelaire; MLR, Jan. 1959, p. 85: "After all, no writer can write well unless he feels that words are good to eat. The phrase is Bagehot's"【Walter Bagehot writes in his essay on "Bishop Butler": "You often see that writers, — Gibbon, for instance, — believe that their words are good to eat, as well as to read; they had a pleasure in rolling them about in the mouth like sugar-plums, & gradually smoothing off any knots or excrescences" (Literary Studies, ed. R.H. Hutton, III, p. 126)】; E. Bullough, Aesthetics, pp. 142-3: "... painters... assumed two entirely different relations to [colour], according as whether they view it, so to speak, aesthetically or pictorially. As artists they displayed the same attitude which they would assume towards a work of Art; as painters they treated it with a kind of objective detachment as a mere, almost indifferent, instrument. The same dualism of attitude will, I think, be found in all arts. The architect or sculptor will feel a thrill of purely aesthetic enjoyment at the beauty of a finely grained stone & will lovingly caress the surface of a beautiful marble; the literary artist will gloat over the sonorousness & rhythm of a word; but each will, when the occasion arises, treat the same object of his delight as part of a completed whole with apparent indifference & will ruthlessly discard it from an unwanted place... The indifference of his professional attitude is not the indifference of the heedless layman, but the higher detachment which removes the medium from the grossly practical function of a 'materialisation' of his vision into an integral part of it." Marcel Aymé, Le Confort intellectuel, p. 26: "Moins respectueux qu'amoureux de la langue, ils commencent à la caresser et à l'aimer pour elle-même sans se montrer très attentifs à son contenu." Cf. Wordsworth, The Prelude, 1805 text, V, 575-581: "Thirteen years / Or haply less, I might have seen, when first / My ears began to open to the charm / Of words in tuneful order, found them sweet / For their own sakes, a passion & a power; / And phrases pleas'd me, chosen for delight, / For pomp, or love." Walter Muschg, Die Zerstörung der deutschen Literatur, 3teAuf., S. 156 on Josef Weinhebers: "Die Sprache ist ihm ein Weib, das er körperlich um wirbt und besitzt will [e.g. 'Ode an die Buchstaben', 'Hymnus aus die deutsche Sprache'].... Auch in den Aufsätzen und Vorträgen geht Weinheber immer vom 'sinnenhaften Wesen das Wortes' aus.... Er behauptet, die Lyrik stehe  der plastik näher als der Musik, weil sie 'im Gefühl des Körperhaften, Gestaltigen begründet' sei" usw. V.-É. Michelet: "De qu'il n'y a pas d'amour sans désir, de même qui aime les idées doit aimer aussi les mots qui en sont la forme materielle" (Les Nouvelles Littéraires, 19 août, 1948).【Hugo: "Suite de la Réponse à un acte d'accusation": "Car le mot, qu'on le sache, est un être vivant"】【Sartre: "Les poètes sont des hommes qui refusent d'utiliser le langage... l'attitude poétique... considère les mots comme des choses et non comme des signes" ("Qu'est-ce que la littérature?" quoted in F. Jeanson, Sartre par lui-même p. 109).

陳弢菴《滄趣樓詩集》卷三《滄趣樓雜詩》云:"敢嫌池淥照鬑鬑,庭樹親栽盡出檐。障得驕陽偏礙月,故知人事不能兼。"按《巢經巢詩集》卷二《庭樹》云:"昔余種樹時,意使蔽庭日。蔭成繞檐戶,乃覺似居室。隨時各含花,無心復結實。夜涼壁上影,靜共人抱膝。雖辭晝閒日,永礙初上月。人事寧可兼,此得彼亦失。窅然發深心,陰陰亂蟲唧。"陳詩意全取之鄭也。Cf. Johnson,Rasselas, ch. 29, ed. G.B. Hill, p. 107: The Princess: "...the position so often uttered by the mouth of Imlac, — That nature sets her gifts on the right hand & on the left. Those conditions, which flatter hope & attract desire, are so constituted, that, as we approach one, we recede from another... No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of the spring."【魚與熊掌、揚州鶴。】【《吳會英才集》卷二方子雲《青溪消夏詞‧之二》:"交牀羅合瀹朱溪,午夢初回聽鳥啼。不礙風來偏障日,綠楊一樹石闌西";《宋詩紀事》卷四十八晁公武《夏日過莊嚴寺》:"最憐林葉深深處,遮盡斜陽不礙風。"】

Aristophanes, Eng. tr. B.B. Rogers, "The Loeb Classical Library"; Fr. tr. Hilaire Van Daele, "Collection des Universités de France." Cf. supra 百四十七則a, , 二百二十則, 六百二十九則. Fun, verve, buffoonery, riotous & inexhausible; yes. Slapstick and slap-and-tickle sublimated by poetry; granted. But a deep thinker? a serious moralist? No in capital letters! His personalities are vigorous and amusing; but his attacks on ideas are curiously feeble & ineffective, & the reductio ad absurdum of the views of Socrates, Plato & Euripides is of a kind which reveals the fundamental triviality & vulgarity of his mind. Even "peace" became a dirty word — as it has recently become since the Stockholm Appeal — associated with Trygaeus's coprophagous beetle & Lysistrata's hot pants, with the retention of faeces (The Peace, l. 151 ff.; "Loeb ", II, p. 17 & "Collection", II, p. 105) & the abstention from coitus (The Lysistrata, l. 124 ff.; "Loeb", III, p. 17 & "Collection", III, p. 125). Incidentally, the plot of The Lysistrata is not watertight; paedophily & pederasty being the order of the day among the Greeks, a Greek husband has a second string to his bow or carries a & will not be so hard put to it by the "General Love-strike" called by women (the phrase is Eric Linklater's, in his Impregnable Women, p. 172). Cf. 第七六七則 on Erika Mitterer's bitter poem "Klage der deutschen Frauen." Plutarch's strictures on Aristophanes's lack of verisimilitude & strain of vulgarity (Moralia, "Loeb Class. Lib.", vol. X, tr. H.N. Fowler, p. 465-7) are eminently just.

            The Clouds, l. 482 ff. Socrates: "Is your memory good?" Strepsiades: "Two ways, by Zeus: If I'm owed anything, I'm mindful, very: But if I owe (Oh! dear), forgetful, very" (Loeb, II, p. 311). Miles Gloriosus, III, iii, 14 on woman's memory, & the French proverb: "Mémoire du mal a longue trace, mémoire du bien tantôt passe."

., l. 975. "And then with their hand they would smooth down the sand whenever they rose from their seat, / To leave not a trace of themselves in the place for a vigilant lover to view" ("Loeb", p. 353). Droysen translated the line as follows: "Und standen sie auf, so verwischten sie gleich in dem Sande die Spur, zu verhindern / Dass Liebenden nicht der Natur Abbild unreine Begierden erregte" (quoted in Hans Licht, Beiträge zur Antiken Erotik, S. 85). Cf. a piece of comic ribaldry in Quevedo, Vida del Buscón, Bk. II, ch. 4: "The villain was there [in gaol] for sodomy... and scarcely dare we break wind for fear of exciting him with a reminder of the backparts" (The Choice Humorous & Satirical Works, ed. Charles Duff, "Broadway Translations", p. 98).

The Lysistrata, ll. 158 f. Cléonice: "Mais quoi, si nos maris nous laissent là, ma bonne?" Lysistrata: "Selon le mot de Phérékratès, il nous faudra 'écorcher une chienne écorchée'" (note: masturbari) ("Collection", III, p. 126).Cf.《醒世姻緣》第  回戴奶奶:"我就浪的荒了,使手也不要你。"

Ibid., ll. 900 ff. ("Loeb", III, p. 89 ff. & "Collection", III, p. 160 f.) a very entertaining scene of "cock-teasing" between Myrrhina and Cinesias which deserves to have more than it actually has imitations in later farces and droll stories.

., l. 1039. "We can't live with such tormentors, no, by Zeus, nor yet without you" ("Loeb", III, p. 101); "Collection", III, p. 166 gives a number of parallel passages in Greek poets. Cf. Ovid, Amores, III, xi: "Sic ego non sine te, nee tecum / vivere possum"; Martial, XII, xivii: "nec tecum possum vivere nec sine te."

The Thesmophoriazusae, ll. 40 ff. Agathon's servant: "All people be still... Let Ether be lulled" etc. ("Loeb", III, p. 135). Cf. "閉門覓句"; Alfred de Vigny, Journal d'un Poète, la Pléiade, II, p. 1025: "solitude où l'on ne me parle pas" etc.

., ll. 148 ff. Agathon: "I choose my dress to suit my poesy" etc. ("Loeb", III, p. 145). Cf. Sainte-Beuve: "On a voulu plaisanter sur la toilette que Buffon faisait avant de se mettre à écrire; il croyait que le vêtement de l'homme fait partie de sa personne" (Les Grands Écrivains français, études classées et annotées par Maurice Allem, VII, p. 78). Cf. E.E. Kellet.

The Ecclesiazusae, ll. 7 ff. Praxagora: "Thou [the lamp] only knowest it, & rightly thou, / For thou alone, within our chambers standing, / Watchest unashamed the mysteries of love" etc. ("Loeb", III, p. 249; "Collection", V, p. 15). Cf. Petronius, Poems, XXVII: "sit torus et lecti genius secretaque lampas, / quis tenera in nostrum veneris arbitrium" (Satyricon etc., "Loeb", p. 356); Ariosto, Terza Rima, cap. VIII: "Né più debb''io tacer di te, lucerna, / che con noi vigilando, il ben ch'io sento, / vuoi che con gli occhi ancor tutto discerna. / Per te fu duplicato il mio contento; / né veramente si può dir perfetto / uno amoroso gaudio a lume spento" (George Kay, The Penguin Book of Italian Verse, p. 156); 李白《寄遠》第七首:"何由一相見,滅燭解羅衣"; V. de Sola Pinto & A.E. Rodway, The Common Muses, pp. 250-1: "The London Prentice": "Some may peep in and spy, Love, / Let's blow the candle out. / ... And we'll kiss one another, / Let's blow the candle out."

Ll. 1076 ff. Youth: "Detested kites, you'll rend me limb from limb" etc. ("Loeb", III, p. 347; "Collection", V, p. 66). Cf.《醒世姻緣》第   the tug of war between 's two concubines.

袁潔《蠡莊詩話》卷七云:"《隨園詩話》擇焉不精甚夥。方公扶南有《春及草堂集》行世,《過周公瑾墓》云:'周郎年少領元戎,談笑能收赤壁功。大帝君臣同骨肉,小喬夫婿是英雄。行間老將醇皆醉,坐上清歌曲未終。何事不如張子布,墓前飛過白頭翁。'推為絕唱。隨園謂其中年改為'大帝誓師江水綠,小喬卸甲晚粧紅',晚年又改為'小喬粧罷胭脂濕,大帝謀成翡翠通',愈改愈謬。今《集》中原詩具在,何嘗改易!不知此語,聞自隨園,遽信為實。"按息翁詩見《春及堂二集》,《江北懷古三十首》第一首也(梁退庵《楹聯叢話》卷四論周瑜祠聯,極稱《桃符綴語》所載"大帝君臣"云云"落落大方",不知其逕摭取息翁詩句)。子才所記,固屬厚誣,然所謂"存得幾句好詩,亦須福分",則所慨深而所見亦真。《詩人玉屑》卷八《煅煉》門廣載古人論詩不厭改諸則,《陵陽室中語》至謂:"賦詩十首,不如改詩一首。"然《蔡寬夫詩話》則又以用功之過為病,且曰:"有意為之,輒不能盡妙,詩尤然。"【《板橋詞鈔‧自序》:"為文須千斟萬酌,以求一是,再三更改,無傷也。然改而善者十之七,改而謬者十之三。乖隔晦拙,反走入荊棘叢中去,要不可以廢改,是學人一片苦心也。"】蓋詩文不厭改,然痛改至於手滑,苦思至於途迷,則求工反拙。西諺云:"The better is the enemy of the good" ( H.J. Jones, Samuel Butler, II, p. 334: "One of Voltaire's Contes en vers, 'La Bégueule, conte moral', begins: 'Dans ses écrits, un sage Italien / Dit que le mieux est l'ennemi du bien', & the article 'Art dramatique' in the Dict. philos. ends with this quotation: 'Il meglio è l'inimico del bene.' Cf. Shakespeare's sonnet 103: 'Were it not sinful then, striving to mend, / To mar the subject that before was well?'"),此之謂也。Pliny, Historia naturalis, XXXIV. 19  Callimachus "semper calumniator sui nec finem habentis diligentiae, ob id catatexitechnus appellatus, memorabili6 exemplo adhibendi et curae modum"("The Loeb Classical Library", vol.

 〇希臘人畫重形似,却未可以東坡詩所謂"見與兒童鄰"斥之。然 Pliny 稱Timanthes 所繪能不落跡象,耐人思索,蓋謂巧傳題義,使人解會,指情事之曲折,非指神韻,詳見七九二則。Timanthes 之畫 Iphigenia 及巨人 (p. 314)、Neacles 之畫尼羅河 (XXXV. 37, p. 364),皆不過如吾國畫深山有古寺者,衹畫暮色蒼茫,一僧拾徑入山;畫踏花歸去馬蹄香者,衹繪一人騎馬,數蝶翻飛,巧思而未為高格也。

〇希臘人論畫,匪特求其似真,并欲亂真,以至於奪真,庶幾如張彥遠《歷代名畫記》所謂"形似"之外求"氣韻":"有生動之可狀,須神韻而後全。"故畫屋而瞻烏爰止 (Hist. nat., XXXV. 7, p. 276 );畫葡萄而飛禽爭啄;畫馬則馬見而長嘶 (XXXV. 36, pp. 308-10, 330);畫蛇則鳥見而息響(XXXV. 38, p. 350),蓋出人入天。參觀二二六則《鴻慶居士集》卷二《題東坡畫枯木》、七四○則。【《全唐文紀事拾遺》卷三十二溫憲撰《程修己墓志銘》:"李宏慶嘗有鬥鷄,為其對傷首。異日,公圖其勝者,而其對壞籠怒出,擊傷其畫";卷四十八歐陽炯《蜀八卦殿壁畫奇異記》稱黄筌云 :"白鷹見壁上所畫野雉,連連掣臂,不住再三,誤認為生類焉";《續齊諧記》景山畫鰿魚,羣獺競赴;《歷代名畫記》卷八:"高孝珩於壁畫蒼鷹,鳩雀不敢近";道略集《雜譬喻經》卷八:"畫師繪己絞死像於壁,蠅鳥啄之,木師謂為實死,破戶欲以刀斷繩";《圖畫見聞志》卷二:"厲歸真畫一鷂壁間,自是雀鴿無復棲止";卷四:"易元吉畫鷂子一只,舊有燕二巢,自此不復來止";《華陽散稿》卷上《記天荒》:"段玉畫墨葡萄在其上隅,垂蔓於棟,有鼠懸其上,貍以為真也,每循棟攫之。"】Pliny 論 Protogenes 所謂 "cum in pictura verum esse, non verisimile vellet" (XXXV. 36, p. 336),此語殊妙,當與 Longinus, On the Sublime, XXII: "For art is only perfect when it looks like nature & Nature succeeds only by concealing art about her person" ("The Loeb Classical Library", tr. W. Hamilton Fyfe, p. 193); Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria, IV. ii. 127: "perire artem putamus, nisi apparent, cum desinat ars esse, si apparet" (("The Loeb Classical Library", vol. II, p. 118) 合觀,亦即彥遠云云也。Hegel 極嗤此說,謂不啻蛆與象競走 (dass bei blosser Nachahmung die Kunst im Wettstreit mit der Natur nicht wird bestehen können, und das Ansehn eines Wurms erhält, der es unternimmt, einem Elefanten nachzukriechen" (Ästhetik, Berlin Aufbau-Verlag, 1955, p. 85),亦舉 Zeuxis畫葡萄而鳥來啄;Rösel 畫金甲蟲而猴來嚙為例,而笑曰:畫而以欺猴鳥 (sie sogar Tauben und Affen getäuscht) 為極詣,亦卑之不足道矣 (eine so niedrige Wirkung)。Boccaccio, Il Decameron, VI. 5: "[Giotto] ebbe uno ingegno di tanta eccellenzia, che niuna cosa dà la natura... che egli... non dipignesse sì simile a quella, che non simile, anzi più tosto dessa paresse, in tanto che molte volte nelle cose da lui fatte si truova che il visivo senso degli uomini vi prese errore, quello credendo esser vero che era dipinto" (ed. Hoepli, p. 388) 即希臘以來古說也。【Vasari, Lives, "Everyman's Lib.", I, p. 85.

Hist. nat., XXXV. 36 記 Zeuxis 以集腋成裘之法畫Helen,召美女五人,各擷取其妙相模寫,合於一體 (inspexerit virgines eorum nudas et quinque elegerit, ut quod in quaque laudatissimum esset pictura redderet) (p. 308)。按 Cicero, De Inventione, II, 1 載此事更詳,所謂人無兼美,故必捃摭而會萃之 (neque enim putavit omnia, quae quaereret ad venustatem uno in corpore se reperire posse ideo, quod nihil simplici in genere omnibus ex partibus perfectum natura expoliuit) ("The Loeb Classical Library", p. 168). Xenophon[15]Memorabilia, III. 10 記 Socrates 謂 Parrhasius 云:"When you copy types of beauty, it is so difficult to find a perfect model that you combine the most beautiful details of several, & thus contrive to make the whole figure look beautiful" ("The Loeb Classical Library", tr. E.C. Marchand, p. 233); Aristotle, Politics, III, vi, 5: "The superiority... of the works of the painter's art over the real objects, really consists in this, that a number of scattered good points have been collected together into one good example" ("Loeb", p. 223); Shakespeare, A Winter's Tale, V. i. 13-6 (Croce, Aesthetic, tr. by D. Ainslie, p. 171 謂 Aristotle 之 mimesis 及 Apollonius 之 imagination 實皆此意). Kenneth Clark, The Nude, p. 10 考論其說,而駁之甚明快。然此實男女愛戀中常事也,Catullus, lxxxvi, 5-6: "Lesbia formosa est: quae cum pulcherrima tota est, / tum omnibus una omnis surripuit Veneres". 又 Girolamo Benivieni: "Canzona dello Amore celeste e divino": "From many fairs / That thought from matter tears / Is shaped a type, wherein what nature rends, / For sense asunder, into one image blends" (見 J.B. Fletcher, Literature of the Italian Renaissance, pp. 111-2), 正即 Stendhal, De l'amour, Liv. I, ch. 2 論 "la première cristallisation" 所謂 "on se plaît à orner de mille perfections une femme de l'amour de laquelle on est sûr" etc. (Éd. "Le Divan", I, pp. 32 f.).

〇彥遠《名畫記》卷一雖云:"自古善畫者,莫非衣冠貴胄、逸士高人。"然而閻立本見役,至有兒子一勿習丹青之誡(《名畫記》卷九)【《顏氏家訓‧雜藝第十九》謂書法"不宜過精,為人所役",鼓琴"不可令有稱譽,見役勛貴,處之下坐",謂即繪事也】;文衡山待詔亦傳"翰林何來畫匠"之嘲(《四友齋叢說》卷十五)。Pliny, XXXV. 7 謂畫非搢紳之藝業 (non est spectata honestis manibus) (p. 274)。中西正復類似,詩人貴而畫人賤,至文藝復興時尚然 (Samuel C. Chew, The Virtues Reconciled, p. 6)。【《顏氏家訓‧雜藝篇》記:"顧士端父子尤妙丹青,常被元帝所使,每懷慙恨。劉岳為陸護軍畫支江寺壁,與諸工雜處。向使三賢都不曉畫,豈見此恥乎!" 《宣和畫譜》卷十一及《聖朝名畫評》皆記李成不應孫四皓之召,曰:"吾本儒生,奈何入戚里賔賓館,與畫史冗人同列乎?"葉盛《水東日記》卷四:"范啟東聞之前輩云:'士大夫游藝,必審輕重,學文勝學詩,學詩勝學書,學書勝學畫。'"】彥遠《名畫記》又云:"真畫一劃,見其生氣。"可參觀 Pliny, XXXV. 36 記 Apelles 遠訪Protogenes 未晤,不留姓名,於畫板作一劃 (lineam duxit) 而去,Protogenes 歸見之,曰: "此必出 Apelles 手 (dixisse Apellen venisse) (p. 320)。"【Matthew Prior: "Protogenes & Apelles" 一詩即賦其事,而變一劃為一圈 (A circle regularly true) (Literary Works, ed. Wright & Spears, pp. 463-5)。】東坡《跋戴嵩牛》謂有牧童云牛不掉尾而鬥,嵩畫誤,因歎:"耕當問奴,織當問婢",可參觀 Pliny, XXXV. 36 記Apelles 與補履匠事(pp. 322-4)

Keats Fanny Brawne

六百八十一

元遺山《種松》云:"百錢買松羔,植之我東墻。汲井涴塵土,插籬護牛羊。一日三摩挲,愛比添丁郎。昨宵入我夢,忽然變昂藏。昂藏上雲雨,慘澹含風霜。起來月中看,細鬣錯針芒。惘然一太息,何年起明堂?鄰叟向我言,種木本易長。不見河畔柳,顧盼百尺強。君自作遠計,今日何所望?"按白樂天《栽松》第一首云:"栽植我年晚,長成君性遲。如何過四十,種此數寸枝。得見成陰否,人生七十稀";又《種荔枝》云:"紅顆珍珠誠可愛,白鬚太守亦何癡。十年結子知誰在,自向庭中種荔枝"(一作戴叔倫《荔枝》);《東溪種柳》云:"松柏不可待,楩柟固難移。不如種此樹,此樹易榮滋";李端《觀鄰老栽松》(一作耿湋詩)云:"雖過老人宅,不解老人心。何事殘陽裏,栽松欲待陰";施肩吾《誚山中叟》:"老人今年八十幾,口中零落殘牙齒。天陰傴僂帶嗽行,猶向巖前種松子";王荊公《酬王濬賢良松泉》第一首:"我移兩松苦不早,豈望見渠身合抱";東坡《種松得徠字》:"我今百日客,養此千歲材自注:時去替不百日。茯苓無消息,雙鬢日夜摧。古今一俯仰,作詩寄餘哀";朱竹垞卷十七《曝書亭偶然作‧之六》云:"雨裏芭蕉風外楊,水中菡萏岸篔簹。衰翁愛植易生物,不願七年栽豫章。"參觀《埤雅》卷十三引諺"白頭種桃",《爾雅翼》卷十作"頭白可種桃。"又《曲洧舊聞》卷三引諺:"頭有二毛好種桃,立不踰膝好種橘"(吳欑《種藝必用》[《永樂大典》一萬三千一百九十四"種"字]亦引此諺)。F.C.S. Schiller,Our Human Truths, p. 132: "The quality of vital activities depend upon the time-scale of life. For a life that lasted for centuries it would be worthwhile to plant groves of sequoias , whereas the shorter life would have to be content with radishes."

Hyder E. Rollins, ed., Letters of John Keats, I, p. 232: "... it is a false notion that more is gained by receiving than giving — no, the receiver & the giver are equal in their benefits — The flower, I doubt not, receives a fair guerdon from the Bee -— its leaves blush deeper in the next spring — and who shall say between Man & Woman which is the most delighted?" 按此事終古聚訟。Hesiod, Melampodia, iii: "... Teiresias saw two snakes mating on Cithaeron and... when he killed the female, he was changed into a woman, & again, when he killed the male, took again his own nature. This same Teiresias was chosen by Zeus & Hera to decide the question whether the male or the female has most pleasure in intercourse [Hans Licht, Sexual Life in Ancient Greece, tr. J.H. Freese, p. 242: "... since he had experienced both"]. And he said: 'Of ten parts a man enjoys one only; but a woman's sense enjoys all ten in full.' For this Hera was angry & blinded him" (Hesiod, tr. H.G. Evelyn-White, "The Loeb Classical Library", p. 269). Casanova "Tiresias, who was once a woman, has given a correct though amusing decision. The most conclusive reason is that if the woman's pleasure were not the greater nature would be unjust. Nature has given to women this special enjoyment to compensate for the pains they have to undergo. What man would expose himself, for the pleasure he enjoys, to the pains of pregnancy & the dangers of childbed? But women will do so again & again" (The Memoirs of G. Casanova, tr. Arthur Machen, The Casanova Society, 1922, XI, p. 134). 可謂強詞奪理。Rudolf Haym, Die Romantische Schule, 4te Aufl. S. 576 論 Fr. Schlegel 小說 Lucinde 有云:"Der höchste Grad dieser [Liebes] Kunst zeigt sich als 'bleibendes Gefühl harmonischer Wärme' und welcher Jüngling das hat, 'der liebt nicht mehr bloss wie ein Mann, sondern zugleich auch wie ein Weib.' Als die witzigste und darum schönste unter den Situationen der Freude wird es gepriesen, wenn Mann und Frau im Liebesspiel die Rollen tauschen, um so das Männliche und Weibliche zu vollenden." 殆以為顛鸞倒鳳、覆雨翻雲,真能轉陰換陽,合兩儀為太極耶?信癡人語矣!咄咄夫《增補一夕話》卷四:"夫問妻曰:'男女交合,男快活?抑女快活?'妻曰:'是男。譬如人在浴盆中洗澡,畢竟是人快活。難道是浴盆快活不成?'夫曰:'不然。譬如消息在耳朵內轉動,畢竟是耳朵快活。難道是消息快活不成?'"孫兆溎《花箋錄》卷十八載韓承烈所撰《耳鼓》中有《鎖吉翥》一則記鎖善淫,而具偉甚,無所施技,因從道士學太陰脫胎法,化為女身,道士喻之曰:"美食在盤,嗜之甘者口耳,於匕箸何與焉!"皆可佐 Teiresias 瞽叟張目。徐學謨《歸有園麈談》云:"男子好色,如渴飲漿;女子好色,如熱乘涼。"句整韻諧,而羌不識意義所在。馮猶龍《笑府》云:"婦臨產創甚,與夫誓曰:'以後不許近身。'及生一女,議名,妻曰:'喚做招弟罷。'"可證 Casanova 

〇遺山《放言》云:"長沙一湘纍,郊島兩詩囚";《別周卿弟》云:"苦心亦有孟東野,真賞誰如高蜀州。"按世人衹知《論詩絕句》之"東野悲鳴死不休,高天厚地一詩囚"耳。

〇《唐音癸籖》卷四云:"用'元氣'二字最多者劉長卿",舉《登揚州栖靈寺塔》:"盤梯接元氣,半壁棲夜魄"、《登東海龍興寺高頂望海簡演公》:"元氣遠相合,太陽生其中"、《送杜越江佐覲省往新安江》:"色混元氣深,波連洞庭碧"、《岳陽館中望洞庭湖》:"疊浪浮元氣,中流沒太陽"、《自鄱陽還洞庭道中寄褚徵君》"元氣連洞庭,夕陽落波上"等詩為證。按當云:"以'元氣'二字寫景者,長卿最多。"則語意圓切矣。後來如陳簡齋《感懷》之"青青草木浮元氣"、《登岳陽樓》之"日落君山元氣中",即從長卿來,而顧氏注不知引長卿《洞庭湖》之"疊浪浮元氣",可謂失之眉睫。元遺山詩中,用"元氣"二字尤多,其描狀景物者,如《亭》云:"宿雲淡野川,元氣浮草木";《南湖先生雪景乘騾圖》云:"異色變慘澹,元氣開洪濛";《游承天懸泉》:"太初元氣未凝結,更欲何處留胚胎";《太室同希顏賦》:"元氣有遺形"等,亦得之簡齋,施注亦未詳也。《別李周卿‧之二》云:"風雅久不作,日覺元氣死";《蕭仲植長史齋》:"是公技進不名技,元氣淋漓隨咳唾";《嘯臺感遇》:"豈知大人先生獨立萬物表,太古元氣同胚胎",則非寫景。又按《全金詩》卷三十四劉昂霄《趙村晚望》云:"天地浮元氣,山河半夕陽",甚似遺山。卷三十李獻能《榮陽古城登覽寄裕之》、卷三十四田紫芝《夜雨寄元敏之兄弟》、卷四十三李汾《陜州》、《再過長安》、《汴梁雜詩》、李獻甫《圍城》、《驟雨》、《資聖閣登眺》諸七律,波瀾意度皆極類遺山,肌理稍懈耳。概風氣化移,同聲而非獨詣,《甌北詩話》卷八之言,未見其全也。他如卷三十三張本《九日月中對菊‧之五》云:"一書草就渾衣臥,恨殺東方不肯明",卷四十四李俊民《和王季文襄陽變後》云:"蛟龍不是池中物,燕雀休嗤壟上人"【施注已引】,與遺山詩句為暗合乎?為蹈襲?亦耐尋味。

   〇施注甚陋,尋常詩句皆當面錯過。如卷三《曲阜紀行》第九首:"所得不毫髮,咎責滿八區",施不知其本昌黎《寄崔二十六立之》:"歡華不滿眼,咎責塞兩儀";卷二《贈鶯》:"獨愛黃栗留,婭姹如稚女。笑啼啼又笑,宛轉工媚嫵",施不知其本歐公《啼鳥》之"黃鸝顏色已可愛,舌端啞咤如嬌嬰",及蘇子美《雨中聞鶯》之"嬌騃人家小女兒,半啼半語隔花枝";卷三《赤壁圖》:"事殊興極憂思集,天澹雲閑今古同",施注:"'事殊',杜句按見《渼陂行》",而不知"天澹"句之出小杜《宣州開元寺水閣》詩(亦正如卷十《和白樞判》之以老杜之"白日放歌須縱酒",對小杜之"清朝有味是無能");卷四《常山妷》詩:"回頭却看元叔綱,鼻涕過口尺許長",施不知其本王子淵《童約》之"目淚下落,鼻涕長一尺";卷五《南湖先生雪景乘騾圖》:"一旦拂衣去,學劍事猿公",施注:"李白詩:'少年學劍術,凌轢白猿公'",而不知其用長吉《南園》第七首之"見買若耶溪水劍,明朝歸去事猿公";卷九《四哀詩‧李長源》:"同甲四人三横霣,此身雖在亦堪驚",施不知其用簡齋《臨江仙》詞之"二十餘年成一夢,此身雖在堪驚";《寄答仰山謙長老》:"一鳥不鳴山更幽",施不知其逕取荊公《鍾山即事》結句;卷九《外家南寺》:"白頭來往人間偏,依舊僧房借榻眠",按施不知其用荊公《和惠思歲二日絕句》第一首:"為嫌歸舍兒童聒,故就僧房借榻眠";卷十《同嚴公子大用東園賞梅》:"佳節屢從愁裏過",施不知其用老泉《九日和韓魏公》之"佳節已從愁裏過";《贈馮內翰》第一首:"扶路不妨驢失脚",施注引陳希夷墮驢事,全不相干,此自用山谷《老杜浣花溪圖》之"兒呼不蘇驢失脚",《誠齋集》卷百十四舉為山谷句樣者也;卷十四《贈寫真田生‧之二》:"情知不是裴中令,一片靈臺狀亦難",施不知其用裴晉公《自題寫真》之"一點靈臺,丹青莫狀"(《全唐文》卷五三八);卷十四《論詩‧之三》:"鴛鴦繡了從教看,莫把金針度與人",施不知其本《五燈會元》卷十四惟照語,改"君"字為"教"字。此類尚多,皆《談藝錄》所未及也。【《鷗陂漁話》卷一:"朱梓廬《壺山吟稿》有《題遺山墓碑搨本》詩,自注云:'碑陰有魏初、姜彧記云:"彧與初嘗先辱先生教誨,又聞先生之言曰:'某身死之日,不願有碑誌也。墓頭樹三尺石,書曰:"詩人元遺山之墓",足矣!'彧與初適按部河東,得拜先生墓下,因買石刻之,時至元十九年。"'施北研《附錄》佚此。"】【"身無鳧舄將焉往,手有牛刀恐亦難。"按陳德武《白雪遺音‧望海潮‧和韻寄別葉睢寧》云:"纔試牛刀,俄驚鳧舄。"】【《媿生叢錄》卷二:"《贈張文舉御史》詩:'會有先生引鏡年'本《文選》王融《三月三日曲水詩序》善注,施注誤。"】

   〇遺山《病中病因食豬動氣而作》:"杯杓歸神誓,垣墻任佛踰",施無注。按閩、粵有肴名"佛跳墻",蓋砂罐燉鷄也。觀遺山語,則此謔由來舊矣!周櫟園《書影》卷六引李子田云:"俗云:'姨娘懷裏,聞得娘香。'此語甚俚,然元遺山《哭姨母隴西君》詩云:'竹馬青衫小小郎,阿姨懷袖阿娘香'【按見《遺山集》卷十二《姨母隴西君諱日作》第一首】,則其語亦遠矣。"可參觀。

〇遺山《張主簿草堂賦大雨》云:"厚地高天如合圍";《論詩三十首》云:"高天厚第一詩囚。"按陳簡齋《友人惠石兩峯》云:"暮靄朝曦一生了,高天厚地兩峯閒。"簡齋好用"了"字,第四百五十六則論《簡齋集》卷十《清明》詩,已略舉其句中用"了"字諸例,其句尾用"了"字者,舍"暮靄"句外,尚有如《送善相僧超然》:"鼠目向來吾自了"、《題向伯共過峽圖》:"柱天動業須君了"、《送客出城西》:"殘年正爾供愁了"等。蓋少陵《洗兵馬》云:"整頓乾坤濟時了",山谷《病起荆江亭即事》仿之云:"十分整頓乾坤了",爾後遂成詩家樣子句。遺山《十二月十六日還冠氏》之"一瓶一缽平生了"、《出都》之"從教盡剗瓊華了"、《寄答商孟卿》之"書來且只平安了"、《追錄洛中舊作》之"人間只怨天公了"、《追懷曹徵君》之"因君錯怨天公了"、《晉溪》之"乾坤一雨兵塵了"、《元都觀桃花》之"一杯盡吸東風了"、《贈李春卿》之"丹房藥鏡平生了",厥例尤多。簡齋《十月》云:"涼風又落宮南木,老雁長雲行路難";《重陽》云:"老雁孤鳴漢北州";遺山《雨後丹鳳門登眺》云:"老雁叫雲秋更哀";《寄答商孟卿》云:"老雁叫羣江渚深",他人詩中亦少見。【遺山弟子王惲《秋澗大全集》卷十四《中秋月》:"一杯儘吸清光了,洗我平生芥蔕腸";《南城納涼晚歸》:"一杯粥了從髙卧,須信閒身等策勲";《八月十一日夜坐》:"大家但使康強了,未害窮愁老此生";《送蕭四祖北上》:"中原有幸經綸了,天外高鴻本自冥";卷十六《和郝子貞見贈之二》:"薄田粗足充飢了,衰俗無依奈物輕";卷卅二《獅猫》:"夢裏鼠山京觀了,午欄花影淡離離。"】【《養一齋詩話》卷八舉遺山複句,補甌北之遺,亦及以"了"字煞尾句太多。】

【《全唐文》卷八九六羅隱《論甲子年事》:"歷歷見趙家之遺臺老樹。"遺山《出都》第二首:"老樹遺臺秋更悲"等句用此,北研未注。】

【又卷二十三《壬子寒食》:"兒女青紅笑語嘩,秋千環索響嘔啞。今年好個明寒食,五樹來禽恰放花。"(簡齋《清明》第一首:"街頭女兒雙髻鴉,隨蜂趁蝶學夭邪。東風也作清明節,開遍來禽一樹花。")】

【吳景旭《歷代詩話》卷六十二謂遺山詩"養和懲往失,扶老念時須"本之宇文叔通《和高子文秋興》:"散步雙扶老,棲身一養和。"按詩見《中州集》卷一,遺山有註。張師錫《老兒詩》亦云:"養和屏作伴,如意拂相連。"皮日休《五貺詩‧之四‧烏龍養和》("壽木拳數尺,天生形狀幽。……料君携去處,烟雨太湖舟");張雨《貞居先生詩集》卷五《自笑》:"已裁斑竹將扶老,更剪蟠枝作養和";《太平廣記》卷三十八《李泌》(《鄴侯外傳》):"採怪木蟠枝,持以隱居,號曰'養和'。"似又非屏。】

〇遺山《贈蕭漢傑》:"射虎將軍右北平,短衣憔悴宿長亭。"按王漁洋《題尤展成新樂府》第二首云:"旗亭被酒何人識,射虎將軍右北平。"《精華錄訓纂》卷六下衹引《史記》李廣事而已,不知其用遺山語。漁洋《居易錄》甚稱遺山詩者。又遺山《寄答飛卿》:"古來獻玉猶難售,此日聞韶本不圖。"按嚴又陵《見十二月初七日邸鈔作》"平生獻玉常遭刖,此日聞韶本不圖"全本之。

〇遺山《論詩》云:"詩家總愛西崑好,獨恨無人作鄭箋。"按袁伯長《清容居士集》卷四十八《書鄭潛庵李商隱詩選》云:"其源出於杜拾遺,晚自以不及,故別為一體,直為訕侮,非若為魯諱者。使後數百年,其詩禍之作,當不止流竄嶺海而已也。桷往歲嘗病其用事僻昧,間閱《齊諧》、《外傳》諸書,籖於其側,冶容褊心,遂復中止。"胡孝轅《唐音癸籤》卷三十二云:"唐詩有兩種不可不注。今杜詩注如彼,而商隱一集迄無人能下手。始知實學之難。友人屠用明嘗勸予為義山集作注"云云。袁、胡二事,皆馮注所未道者。

   〇《清容居士集》卷三《車行》云:"隆如龜戴殼,縛如蠶裹繭。禪趺恣掀簸,尸寢作瞑眩。初疑肝膽傾,漸覺手足顫。兩耳傳鳴雷,雙眸瞥飛電。縈迴蟻旋磨,局促蟲負版。氣奔驚七還,心嘔復三咽。揩摩髀消肉,舍棄足成趼。"按黃石牧《堂集》卷三十五《騾輿》云:"或恣其擺蕩,如遭篩米農。大箕納肉軀,簸揚輕以鬆。或縱其欹側,亘作高低容。如眾舴艋去,而被風浪衝。或為上下顛,掀如杵臼舂。(中略)危坐擁茵褥,支體相撞摏。橫陳彌摯曳,頂踵摩成癰。攪亂心肺肝,顛倒在一胸";李分虎《香草居集》卷五《詠驘車》云:"俛首褰簾帷,盤膝倚包裹。頗似老衲參,又若新婦坐。(中略)傍有圉人軀,時作醉尉呵。(中略)轉側不暫寧,偃仰詎能臥。(中略)目昏五色花,頭眩百轉磨。"宣統二年《小說時報‧蓴鄉漫錄》云:"京中驢車,乘時極顛簸,曾重伯戲作一聯云:'兩塊鼈裙搓麵餅,一雙鴿蛋滾湯圓。'上句言女,下句言男也。"

【《遺山集》卷十一《惠崇蘆雁》第三首:"江湖牢落太愁人,同是天涯萬里身。不似畫屏金孔雀,離離花影淡生春。"按溫飛卿《更漏子》首章:"驚塞雁,起城烏,畫屏金鷓鴣。"《白雨齋詞話》說之曰:"此言苦者自苦,樂者自樂。"甚有悟心。遺山此作,實得溫詞之旨。《山谷內集》卷七《睡鴨》云:"山鷄照影空自愛,孤鸞舞鏡不作雙。天下真成長會合,兩鳧相倚睡秋江。"《賓退錄》卷十亦謂題畫作,正復同意。】

 〇吳復編樓卜瀍注《楊鐵厓古樂府》卷九《買妾》云:"買妾千黃金,許身不許心。使君聞有婦,夜夜白頭吟。"按此意同曹鄴《古詞》所謂"郎妻自不重,於妾欲如何",而措詞稍婉。《唐詩歸》卷三十四選鄴此詩,伯敬評以為"深於妬妬,亦有至理";友夏以為"機警女郎之言,斷得惡少年心服。"

 【《鐵厓逸編》卷二《濮州娘》云:"朱鬕氏按指劉福通掠女婦,擇白腯者一狎,即付湯火,熬膏,為攻城火藥。"按周櫟園《書影》卷二引《雜志》云:"常開平每出師,夜必御一婦,曉輒斷其頭以去。"二事殊類。】

〇《鐵厓逸編》卷五《題履元陳君萬松圖》自跋云:"子昭工畫仕女花木,予懼其情過粉黛,則氣乏風雲,故書此詩以遺之。"按元遺山《王都尉山水》:"自是秦樓畫眉手,不能辛苦作荊關",亦有此意。

   〇白香山詩詞意多複,如《紫薇花》云:"獨立黃昏誰是伴?紫薇花對紫薇郎"《白氏文集》卷十九,而《紫薇花》又云:"紫薇花對紫微翁";《浩歌行》云:"欲留年少待富貴,富貴不來年少去",而《短歌行》又云:"彼來此已去,外餘中不足。少壯與榮華,相避如寒燠",不勝一一舉。《問劉十九》云:"綠蟻新醅酒,紅泥小火爐。晚來天欲雪,能飲一杯無?"世所傳誦,而《招東鄰》云:"小榼二升酒,新簟六尺牀。能來夜話否?池畔欲秋涼",亦同一機杼也。

〇香山《時世粧》云:"烏膏註唇唇似泥,雙眉畫作八字低。妍媸黑白失本態,粧成盡似含悲啼";《代書詩一百韻寄微之》云:"風流誇墜髻,時世鬥啼眉。"按《全後漢文》卷四十一載《風俗通》佚文,亦道"愁眉"、"啼粧"。又《唐書‧五行志》、蘇老泉《吳道子畫五星贊》皆道"烏唇"。又徐鉉《徐公文集》卷三《夢游‧一》:"檀的慢調銀字管";《二》:"含詞忍笑膩于檀。"

〇香山《松聲》云:"南陌車馬動,西鄰歌吹繁。誰知兹檐下,滿耳不為喧。"按末五字庶幾與淵明夢中神遇。此乃有聲而亦無聲,非《琵琶行》所謂"無聲勝有聲"也。阮圓海《詠懷堂詩‧戊寅詩‧緝汝式之見過谷中》:"坐聽松風響,還嫌谷未幽。"

〇《詩人玉屑》卷二十引東坡《跋李王所書》六言詩,其詞云:"空林有雪相待,野路無人獨還。"按此顧況《歸山》絕句(一作張繼)。後山《東禪》云:"邂逅無人成獨往,殷勤有月與同歸",天社無注,當以此二語參之。

〇《詩人玉屑》卷十九黃玉林云:"唐皇甫冉《問李二司直》詩云:'門外水流何處?天邊樹遶誰家?山絕東西多少?朝朝幾度雲遮?'此蓋用屈原《天問》體。荆公《勘會賀蘭山主》絕句:'賀蘭山上幾株松?南北東西共幾峯?貿得住來今幾日?尋常誰與坐從容?'全用其意。此體甚新,詩話未有拈出者。"按王無功《在京思故園見鄉人問》中段云:"殷勤訪朋舊,屈曲問童孩:衰宗多弟姪,若個賞池臺?舊園今在否?新樹也應栽?柳行疏密布?茅齋寬窄裁?經移何處竹?別種幾株梅?渠當無絕水?石計總生苔?院果誰先熟?林花那後開?羇心祗欲問,為報不須猜"云云,截去首尾,便成此體(《唐詩歸》卷一鍾亦欲刪去末二句),求之《天問》,稍遼遠矣。《陳止齋集》卷二《懷石天民》於無功之作擬議以成變化(見第四一四則)。李端《逢王泌自東京至》前四句云:"逢君自鄉至,雪涕問田園:幾處生喬木?誰家在舊村?"云云,亦此體。明凌雲翰《柘軒集》卷一《畫七首‧之四》云:"問訊南屏隱者:草堂竹樹誰栽?昨夜幾時雨過?山禽幾個飛來?"《燉煌曲子詞‧南歌子》二首,前一首云:"斜影珠簾立,情事共誰親?分明面上指痕新,羅帶同心誰綰?甚人踏裰裙?蟬鬢因何亂?金釵為甚分?紅妝垂淚憶何君?分明殿前直說,莫沉吟。"(後一首則逐事答云:"自從君去後,無心戀別人。夢中面上指痕新。羅帶同心自綰,被猻兒踏裰裙。蟬鬢朱簾亂,金釵舊股份。紅妝垂淚哭郎君,信是南山松柏,無心戀別人。")《樂府羣珠》卷四無名氏《朱履曲‧偷期》第一首云:"因甚麼蓬鬆鬀髻?因甚麼氣喘微微?脊梁上都是土和泥?因甚麼眼皮兒慢?因甚麼主腰兒低?因甚麼裩襠兒上濕?"(第二首逐句答云:"貪春色蓬鬆鬀髻,蹴秋千氣喘微微,靠蕭牆惹下這土和泥,貪針指眼皮兒慢,身子瘦主腰兒低,恰纔採紅花惹下些露濕。")王次回《疑雨集》卷四《臨行口占為阿鎖下酒》:"問郎燈市可曾遊?可買香絲與玉鈎?可有繡簾樓上看,打將瓜子到肩頭?"

Plotin, Ennéades, tr. Bréhier ("Collection des Universités de France"), V. viii. 2: "Considérons... des beautés naturelles.... N'est-ce pas dans tous les cas une forme, venue du générateur à l'engendré, comme dans les arts, disions-nous, elle vient des arts à leurs produits?" (V, pp. 136-7).  Plato, The Sophist, 265e: "... things people called natural are made by divine art, & things put together by man out of those as materials are made by human art" ("The Loeb Class. Lib.", tr. H.N. Fowler, p. 449). 即 Thomas Browne,Religio Medici, P. I, §16: "In brief, all things are artificial; for Nature is the art of God" (Paul Shorey,Platonism Ancient & Modern, p. 197 所言可印證). E.R. Curtius 謂 Macrobius 始言 "das Dichtwerk ist dem Kosmos vergleichbar... eine grosse Ähnlichkeit zwischen... dem deus opifex und dem poeta" (Europäische Literatur und Lateinisches Mittelalter, 2te Aufl., S. 441-2),不知 Plato 等已發其意。Milton C. Nahm, The Artist as Creator 考論 "The great analogyof the srtist to God" (pp. 55 ff.),亦失引此,并未及 Macrobius 

Enn., I. vi. 8: "Enfuyons-nous donc dans notre chère patrie... Comme Ulysse, qui échappa, dit-on à Circé la magicienne et à Calypso" etc. (I, p. 104); V. ix. 1: "Ils se plaisent en cette région de vérité qui est la leur, comme des hommes, revenus dune longue course errante, se plaisent dans une patrie bien gouvernée" etc. (V, pp. 161-2). 按此可補余 "The Return of the Native"  Proclus, Elements of Theology, Prop. 33, 35, 146 僅言 "revert to the beginning", "revert upon the cause" 等 (Eng. tr. E.R. Dodds, pp. 37, 39, 129),未以歸家返國為喻也。參觀 Seneca, Epistulae morales, LXV. 16: "Animum, qui gravi sarcina pressus explicari cupit et reverti ad illa, quorum fuit"; LXXIV. 12: "Sursum illum vocant initia sua" ("The Loeb Classical Library", I, p. 452; II, p. 206);又 Emily Bronte: "The Prisoner": "Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals; / My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels: / Its wings are almost free — its home, its harbour found, / Measuring the gulf, it stoops & dares the final bound";又 Journal des Goncourt, 5 Avril, 1864 (Édition définitive, II, p. 149): "En littérature, on commence à chercher son originalité laborieusement chez les autres, et très loin de soi… plus tard on la trouve naturellement en soi… et tout près de soi";又《朱子語類》卷三十一論"回也,三月不違仁"云:"橫渠內外賓主之說極好,譬如一屋子,是自家為主,朝朝夕夕時時只在裏面。顏子或有出去時節,便會向歸。其餘是賓,或一日一至,或一月一至";卷一百十八舉"萬物皆備於我"一章:"今之為學,須是求復其初,真做到聖賢地位,方是全得本來之物而不失。人之為學,正如說恢復相似,且如東南亦自有許多財賦,許多兵甲,儘自好了,如何必要恢復?只為祖宗元有之物,須當復得;若不復得,終是不了";卷一百二十四:"陸子靜說'良知良能',不可謂不是。但說人便能如此,不假修為存養,此却不得。譬如旅寓之人,自家不能送他回鄉,但與說云:'你自有田有屋,大段快樂,何不便回去?'那人既無資送,如何便回去得?"他如 Virgil, Aeneid, IV. 347: "Hic amor, haec patria est"; Propertius, II. xi. 25-6: "tu mihi sola domus, tu, Cynthia, sola parentes, / omnia tu nostrae tempora laetitiae" 均相發明。又按 V. p. 162 Bréhier 註云:"chez lui [Plotin], le retour d'Ulysse à Ithaque est le symbole de l'initiation à la vie divine"。據 H. Weber, La Création poétique au 16e siècle en France, I, p. 133 論 "la théorie de la vérité cachée",記 "Dorât explique qu'Ulysse est l'homme à la recherche de la sagesse et du bonheur symbolisés par Pénélope et Ithaque"。餘見第七百一則論 Heine: "An meine Mutter"、第七五一則論《老子》"反者道之動"。

 , II. ii. 1: "C'est un mouvement qui revient sur lui-même, mouvement de la conscience, de la réflexion et de la vie; jamais il ne sort de son cercle...【et de plus il [le mouvement] doit être celui qui est】le mouvement circulaire" (II, p. 21); IV. iv. 16: "Placez le Bien au centre, l'intelligence en un cercle immobile et l'âme en un cercle mobile et mû par le désir" (IV, p. 117). 按參觀 Plato, Laws, 898a: "... the motion which moves... always round some center, being a copy of the turned wheels... has the nearest possible kinship & similarity to the revolution of reason" ("The Loeb Classical Library", tr. R.G. Bury, II, p. 345)。又 Proclus, Elements of Theology, Prop. 146: "In any divine procession the end is assimilated to the beginning, maintaining by its reversion thither a circuit without beginning & without end" (tr. E.R. Dodds, p. 129). 又 Hegel, Phänomenologie des Geistes, "Vorrede": "Es [das Wahre] ist das Werden seiner selbst, der Kreis, der sein Ende als seinen Zweck voraussetzt und zum Anfange hat... "; Logik, II Teil, iii Absch., 3 Kap.: "Vermöge der aufgezeigten Natur der Methode stellt sich die Wissenschaft als ein in sich geschlungener Kreis dar, in dessen Anfang, den einfachen Grund, die Vermittlung das Ende zurückschlingt; dabei ist dieser Kreis ein Kreis von Kreisen" (Sämtl. Werk., Jubiläums-Ausgabe, hrsg. H. Glockner, Bd. V, S. 351; Enzyklopädie, Einleit., §6: "ein sich in sich selbst schließender Kreis" (Bd. VI, S. 24); Croce, La Poesia, 5a ed., p. 29: "Ma l'azione, giunta a compimento, si rivolge su sé stessa, par che torni indietro, si rifà sentimento, e col sentimento ricomincia un nuovo ciclo, costante nel suo ritmo già segnato, eppure crecente su sé stesso con incessante arricchimento e perfezionamento.... È singolare che, mentre si accetta e si celebra insigne scoperta la 'circulatio sanguinis' nell'organismo fisiologico, si ri lutti all'idea della circolarità spirituale, che... da un grande filosofo italiano venne elevata e principio di spiegazione dello spirito e della storia come 'corso' e 'ricorso'"【參觀 , June 1961, pp. 174-5】又 Filosofia, Poesia, Storia, pp. 71 ff. 論 "se la vita dello spirito sia da considerare sotto il simbolo della 'cuspide' o sotto quello del 'circolo'" 亦論此而無此明暢); Schelling 論 "die Kreis-linie" (見 E.D. Hirsch, Jr., Wordsworth & Schelling, p. 70 引 又第七五○則。【Ronsard: "Hymne du Ciel": "[l'esprit de 1'Éternel] De tous côtés t'anime et donne mouvement, / Te faisant tournoyer en sphere rondement, / Pour être plus parfait; car en la forme ronde. / Gît la perfection qui toute en soi abonde / ... De toi-même tout rond, comme chose éternelle, / Tu n'as en ta grandeur commencement, ni bout" etc. (p. 34); Coleridge's letter to Joseph Cottle: "The common end of all narrative, nay, of all Poems is to convert a series into a Whole: to make those events, which in real or imagined History move on in a strait Line, assume to our Understandings a circular motion— the snake with it's Tail in it's Mouth" (Collected Letters, ed. E.L. Griggs, III, p. 545). 又六百九十九則論 The Pentamerone, p. 422.】【《莊子‧寓言篇第二十七》:"始卒若環,莫得其倫,是謂天均";《孫子‧勢篇》:"渾渾沌沌,形圓而不可敗也。"】【Hugo, Littérature & Philosophie Mêlées, ed. Albin Michel, p. 241: "Le cercle, symbole mystérieux, éternité et zéro, tout et rien."F. Schlegel,Literary Notebooks, ed. H. Eichner, §566 (p. 70): "Alle Bildung und Poesie ist cynlisch. Die alte cyklisirt, die moderne cyklisirend" (cf. §578, p. 68: "Der Gang der modernen Poesie muss cyklisch d.h. cyklisirend sein, wie der die philosophie").

 Enn., IV. ii. 18: "Quant au langage, on ne doit pas estimer que les âmes s'en servent, en tant qu'elles sont dans le monde intelligible.... chacun est comme un oeil; rien de caché ni de simulé; en voyant quelqu'un, on connaît sa pensée avant qu'il ait parlé" (IV, p. 85); IV. ix. 5: "Dans le monde intelligible, toutest transparent" (IV, p. 235). 按參觀 Karl Vossler, The Spirit of Language in Civilization, tr. Oscar Oeser, p. 32: "When Dante wrote the Paradiso, he realized that here no language could be adequate. The angels & the blessed light."

 , V. iii. 17: "un contact intellectuel" etc. (V, p. 73). Cf. Eckhart, Sermon, XVI & XXIV on "the soul receiving a kiss from the Godhead" & "the kiss exchanged between the unity of God & the humble man" (James M. Clark, Meister Eckhart, pp. 203, 242).

Xenophon, Oeconomicus, viii. 19 ("The Loeb Classical Library", tr. E.C. Marchant, p. 437): "Yes, no serious man will smile when I claim that there is beauty in the order even of pots & pans set out in neat array, however much it may move the laughter of a wit."  T.R. Glover, Greek Byways, p. 159譯為:"The wit might laugh, but no serious person, when I say that there is a rhythm (εὔρυθμον) even in pots marshalled in order",精彩始出。John Dewey, Art as Experience, pp. 175 ff. 論空間藝術亦有"韻節",至曰:"The separation of rhythm & symmetry & the division of the arts into temporal & spatial... is based on a principle that is... destructive of esthetic understanding" (p. 183); 又 T.M. Greene, The Arts & the Art of Criticism, p. 220: "strictly speaking, natural rhythm characterizes only temporal events. But the time factor may be introduced by the observer in the process of passing a number of static objects successively in review and in noting recurrent similarities & differences",不知數千年前早有人拈,而作美學史者,無不錯過。參觀 Leonardo da Vinci 論畫與樂通 (R.J. Clements, Michelangelo's Theory of Art, p. 53); 又 Wordsworth: "Airey-Force Valley": "... how sensitive / Is the light ash! that, pendent from the brow / Of yon dim cave, in seeming silence makes / A soft eye-music of slow-waving boughs." 參觀百十一則論 Jaeger, Paideia, I, . 125-6.【A. Lalande, Vocabulaire technique et critique de la philosophie, 7eéd., p. 935 引 L. Boisse: "... le rythme est l'âme de la durée."

E.H. Warmington, Remains of Old Latin (The Loeb Classical Library). 頗有璣羽可拾。Ennius 與 Lucilius 尤所謂句重語奇者也。

Ennius, Annals, fr. 141-2: "Vulturus in silvis miserum mandebat homonem. / Heu! Quam crudeli condebat membra sepulchro!"(vol. I, p. 50). 按可補第一百六十七則論 The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, I, . 69

Annals, fr. 352: "et simul erubuit ceu lacte et purpura mixta"(vol. I, p. 128). 按衹似德國成語所謂 "wie Milch und Blut",或意語所謂 "Essere sangue e latte" Propertius, II. iii. 12: "utque rosae puro lacte natant folia." Antoine de Baïf, Amours de Méline, II. 5: "Cette délicate joüe / En son vermeil verdelet, / Semble une rose qui noüe / Sur un blanc etan de lait" (H. Weber, La Création poétique au 16e siecle en France, I, 267  尤後來居上,氷寒於水矣。【Giles Fletcher: "His cheeks as snowy apples sopped in wine, / Had their red roses quenched with lilies white, / And like to garden strawberries did shine / Washed in a bowl of milk."

Annals, fr. 499-500: "Quomque caput caderet, carmen tuba sola peregit et pereunte uiro raucus sonus aere cucurrit" (vol. I, p. 186), 注引 Statius, Thebaid, XI. 56: "iam gelida ora tacent; carmen tuba sola peregit" 為比。按參觀 Ariosto, Orlando Furioso, XXIX. 26: "Quel fe' tre balzi; e funne udita chiara voce, ch'uscendo nominò Zerbino" ("Biblioteca classica Hoepliana", p. 315),蓋皆本之 Iliad, X. 10。其他如 Ovid, Metam., V. 104; Spenser, Faerie Queene, IV. viii 紛紛祖構,要以Ennius, Statius, Ariosto 三家為妙。Orl. Fur., XLII. 14 (p. 447): "[Brandimarte dying] E dirgli: 'Orlando, fa che ti raccordi / Di me ne l'orazion tue grate a Dio; / Né men ti raccomando la mia Fiordi...' / Ma dir non poté: 'ligi', e qui finio";又XV. 84 (p. 144): "Immantinente al suo destrier [Orrilo] ricorse, / Sopra vi sale, e di seguir non resta; /Volea gridare: Aspetta, volta, volta! / Ma gli avea il duca già la bocca tolta" 可參觀,文心幻變,筆舌玲瓏,得未曾有。又按 Silius Italicus, Punica, IV, 378-9 寫獅鬥云:"脛爪已膏齒牙,尚肆搏擊"(illi dira fremunt, perfractaque in ore cruento ossa sonant, pugnantque feris sub dentibus artus) ("The Loeb Class. Lib.", I, 196),思致略同。Cf. Shakespeare, I Henry IV, V. iv (& my marginalia to Complete Works, ed. G.L. Kittredge, p. 578).

Ennius, Satires, fr. 12-3: "caepe maestum"(I, p. 386).  Naevius, Comedies, fr. 20: "Cui caepe edundod oculus alter profluit" (II, p. 80); Lucilius, Satires, fr. 216: "flebile caepe simul, lacryniosaeque ordine tallae" (III, p. 66); fr, 218: "lippus edenda acri assiduo ceparius cepa" (III, p. 68) 皆可參觀。以雪涕而曰傷心 (maestus, flebilis),刻劃洋蔥可謂曲善體會矣。明人汪廷訥《獅吼》第廿一折云:"婦人手如乾薑,定配侯王。我娘子手不是薑,怎麽半月前打的耳巴,至今猶辣?"Antony & Cleopatra, I. ii: "indeed the tears live in an onion that should water this sorrow"; Beauty & the Beast: "These wicked creatures rubbed their eyes with an onion to force some tears when they parted with their sister" (I. & P. Opie, The Classic Fairy Tales, Granada, 1980, p. 187).

Caecilius, fr. 130-1: "limassis caput" (I, p. 514). 按 Livius Andronicus, Tragedies, fr. 25-6: "limavit caput" [19] (II, p. 12) 皆言接唇也。今法國俚語以 "limer" 字為兩具交接,參觀第五百八則。

Naevius, Comedies, fr. 74-9: "Quasi pila / in choro ludens datatim dat se et communem facit. / Alii adnutat, alii adnictat, alium amat alium tenet. / Alibi manus est occupata, alii pervellit pedem; / anulum dat alii spectandum, a labris alium invocat, / cum alio cantat, at tamen alii suo dat digito litteras"(II, pp. 98-100). 按活畫出勾蜂引蝶、多多益善之風騷婦人,遠勝於 The Celestina, tr. L.B. Simpson, p. 88一節,而尚不如 Camille Desmoulins 語,詳見第六百三十一則眉。Gottfried Keller Die Leute von Seldwyla  "Die drei gerechten Kammmacher" 一篇寫一女使求婚者三人相安無事,喻曰:"So gibt es Virtuosen, welche viele Instrumente zugleich spielen, auf dem Kopfe ein Glockenspiel schütteln, mit dem Munde die Panspfeife blasen, mit den Händen die Gitarre spielen, mit den Knieen die Zimbel schlagen, mit dem Fuss den Dreiangel und mit den Ellbogen eine Trommel, die ihnen auf dem Rücken hängt" (Sämtl. Werk., Berlin: Aufbau-Verlag, 1958, Bd. VI, S. 237) La Celestina, VII: "que uno en la cama y otro en la puerta, y otro que suspira por ella en su casa, se precia de tener... y a todos muestra buena cara, y todos piensan que son muy queridos. Y cada uno piensa que no hay otro" (Éd. Aubier par P. Heugas, "Collection Bilingue des Classiques Étrangers", p. 292).】【陳曇《鄺齋雜記》卷五:"鑼鼓三,譚姓,開平人,其技以手肘鳴鑼,以足趾搥鼓,以口吹竹,以手彈絲。又能一足擊鼓,一足鳴鈸,口吹喇叭。蓋合鼓吹一部,集眾人之能而身兼之。"慵訥居士《咫聞錄》眷一:"談三,開平人,瞽目。……身坐席上,先吹打一會,口吹鎻,肘敲大囉,右足撞鋍,順擊教鑼,左足敲鼓搖板。"】

Naevius, Unassigned Fragments, fr. 7-8: "retritum rutabulum"(II, p. 140), "Naevius obscenam viri partem describens."  Eric Partridge 未知此,可補 Dict. of Slang, 4th ed., p. 645 "poker", "burn one's poker"; p. 1151 "red hot poker" 

Pacuvius, Plays, fr. 47-8: "Nam canis, quando est percussa lapida, non tam illum adpetit. / Qui sese icit, quam illum eumpse lapidem, qui ipsa icta est, petit"(II, p. 178).  Orlando Furioso, XXXVII. 78 等實出於此,宜補第五百三十一則。

Lucilius, Satires, fr. 302: "hunc molere, illam autem ut frumentum vannere lumbis" [23] (III, p. 92). 按 fr. 361: "Crisabit ut si frumentum elunibus vannat"(III, p. 112) 體物極妙。 molerePartridge, Dict. of Slang, 4th ed., p. 355: "Grind" James Reeves, The Idiom of the People, p. 156 載英國古民謠 "The Miller & the Lass" "She swore she'd been ground by a score or more / But never been ground so well before." F.

H.E. Rollins, ed., Letters of John Keats.

"I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the Heart's affections & the truth of Imagination — What the Imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth" (I, p. 184). Cf. "The excellence of every Art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeables evaporate, from their being in close relationship with Beauty & Truth" (I, p. 192); "I never can feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its Beauty" (II, p. 19). Surely, the famous sententious line in the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" — "Beauty is truth, truth beauty" — means no more than this. These obiter dicta leave us in the dark— and I'm afraid that Keats was not himself very clear on the point, whether the beautiful makes the truth true or merely shows it to be true; in other words, an equivocation similar to the pragmatist attempt to identify the useful with the true. The nature of truth and the test f truth are two problems, not one. The laborious exegeses if many critics (e.g. Kenneth Burke's explanation of Keats's line in dialectical terms in A Grammar of Motives, pp. 447 f.) seem to me quite wide of the mark. That beauty is the shining-forth of truth is a doctrine as old as Plato (cf.Symposium, 211a: "...the beautiful presented to him in the guise of a face or of hands" etc., tr. W.R.M. Lamb, "The Loeb Classical Library", p. 205), cf. Shaftesbury, Characteristics, ed. J.M. Robertson, I, p. 94: "For all beauty is truth"; Fr. Schlegel, Literary Notebooks, ed. Hans Eichner, §124, p. 30: "Das Schöne ist eben so wohl angenehme Erscheinung des Wahren und des Rechtlich-Geselligen als des Guten"; §1818, p. 181: "Das Schöne ist eben zugleich gut und wahr"; & Hegel, Ästhetik, Berlin: Aufbau-Verlag, 1955, S. 145-6: "So ist Schönheit und Wahrheit einerseits dasselbe... Das Schöne bestimmt sich dadurch als das sinnliche Scheinen der Idee." (Aufbau-Verlag, 1955, S. 212).Cf. E. Cassirer, The Philosophy of the Enlightenment, tr. F.C.A. Koelln & J.P. Pettegrove, p. 314 on Shaftesbury's "The truh of the universe speaks, as it were, through the phenomenon of beauty; it is no longer inaccessible, but acquires a means of ex-pression...." Cf. also 

On Shakespeare's "negative capability", that is, to be "capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries" etc. (I, p. 193). To Rollins's note should be added the very informative article in Studies in Philology, Jan. 1958, pp. 77 ff., in which similar views of Coleridge, Hazlitt & Shelley are quoted; Lamb held the same view: "He [Wordsworth] does not, like Shakespeare, become everything he pleases, but forces the reader to submit to his individual feelings" (H.C. Robinson, On Books & Their Writers, ed. Edith Morley, I, p. 17); cf. also II, p. 213: "Dilke was a man who cannot feel he has a personal identity unless he has made up his mind about everything. The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing — to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts." Flaubert expresses himself also very strongly on this point: "L'ineptie consiste à vouloir conclure" (Correspondance, éd. Louis Conard, II, p. 239); "Aucun grand génie n'a conclu et aucun grand livre ne conclut, parce que l'humanité elle-même est toujours en marche et qu'elle ne conclut pas" (IV, p. 183); "La rage de vouloir conclure est une des manies les plus funestes et les plus stériles qui appartiennent à l'humanité" (V, p. 110). Cf. the German epigram: "Denken ist schwer — darum urteilen die meisten." Cf. 第五百四十四則 第六百九十六則Robert Musil's "Essayismus" & "Möglichkeitssinn" in Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften, Kap. 4, but for the schizoid lengths to which they are pushed, have something in common with "negative capacity". This Letter to Richard Woodhouse has a great influence on Hofmannsthal as he confesses to Stefan Grass in a letter: "Der schöne Brief von Keats... der Brief mit den merkwürdigen Klagen über das Chamäleondasein des Dichters ('he has no identity', etc.). Dieser Brief hat mich sehr entlastet" usw. (Briefe, Bd. II, p. 254; cf. "Gespräch über Gedichte": "Dass sich sein Dasein, für die Dauer eines Atemzugs, in dem fremden Dasein aufgelöst hatte. Das ist die Wurzel aller Poesie" — Gesam. Werke, Frankfurt am Main, Bd. II, Prose, p. 89; "Der Dichter und und diese Zeit": "Es... nimmt seine Farbe von den Dingen, auf denen er ruht" — p. 244).Cf. Baudelaire, quoted towards the end.

"Poetry should be great & unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, & does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject — How beautiful are the retired flowers!" etc. (I, p. 224). This is the opposite of Marino's theory of "far stupir" (cf. infra 第七百三則) and an anticipation of T.S. Eliot's view of "poetry which should be essentially poetry, with nothing poetic about it, poetry standing naked in its bare bones, or poetry so transparent that we should not see the poetry, but that which we are meant to see through the poetry" (quoted in F.O. Matthiessen, The Achievement of T.S. Eliot, 2nd ed., 1947, p. 90; cf. R. Johnson's interesting article "Jiménez, Tagore & 'La Poesía Desunda'" in MLR, Oct. 1965, pp. 541-2, where Eliot's passage has been overlooked). Cf.  Coleridge, The Notebooks, ed. Kathleen Coburn, II, §2728: "Modern poetry characterized by the Poets ANXIETY to be always striking — The same march in the Greek & Latin Poets/Claudian... observe in him the anxious craving Vanity! every Line, nay, every word stops, looks full in your face, & asks & begs for Praise..." This parallels Keats's remarks: "How they would lose their beauty were they to throng into the highway crying out, 'Admire me, I am a violet! Dote upon me I am a primrose!'" Cf. Wordsworth's sonnet "Not Love, not War": "The flower of sweetest smell is shy and lowly."

"It is a great Pity that People should by associating themselves with the finest things, spoil them — Hunt has damned Hampstead & Masks & Sonnets & Italian tales — Wordsworth has damned the lakes... Peacock has damned satire"(I, p. 252); II, p. 11: "Hunt does one harm by making fine things pretty, & beautiful things hateful — Through him I am indifferent to Mozart." How profoundly true — especially in political causes: Lamennais: "Les républicains sont fait pour rendre la république impossible"; New Statesman, 22 March 1958, p. 387: "Rien n'ébianle plus nos croyances que le spectacle de ceux qui les partagent: le plus grand obstacle à la propagation du communisme, c'est [sic.] les communistes mêmes [sic.]." Cf. 第一百八十二則 第六百六十二則Cf. Coleridge to John Thelwall: "It is not his Atheism that has prejudiced me against Godwin, but Godwin who has, perhaps, prejudiced me against Atheism" (Collected Letters, ed. E.L. Griggs, I, p. 221).】【Veronica Hull, The Monkey Puzzle, p. 189: "The trouble with revolution is one's co-revolutionaries."】【Yossarian in Joseph Heller's bitterly hilarious novelCatch-22, p. 435 says: "Between me and every ideal I always find Scheisskopfs, Peckems, Korns & Cathcarts. And that sort of changes the ideal."】【F. Rolfe, Hadrian the Seventh, "The Phoenix Library", p. 23: "As for the Faith, I found it comfortable. As for the Faithful, I found them intolerable." Cardinal de Retz: "L'on a plus de peine, dans les partis, à vivre avec ceux qui en sont qu'à agir contre ceux qui y sont opposés" (Gaëtan Picon, L'usage de la Lecture, p. 29).[31]Alphonse Daudet: "O politique, je te hais. Tu sépares de braves coeurs faits pour être unis; tu lies au contraire des êtres tout à fait dissemblables" (A. Albalat, Souvenirs de la vie littéraire,  nouv. éd., p. 10). Paul Léautaud,Journal Littéraire, II, p. 190 on Rémy de Goncourt: "Son emballement tardif jour Stendhal a dégoûtéValéry. 'J'ai renoncé a lire Stendhal depuis ce jours-là.'"】【Yeats to T. Sturge Moore: "When a man is so outrageously in the wrong as Shaw he is indispensible [the Academic Committee of English Letters], if it were for no other purpose than to fight people like Hewlett, who corrupt the truth by believing in it" (Ursula Bridge, W.B. Yeats & T. Sturge Moore: Their Correspondence, p. 19).】【Emerson: "Yes, they adopt whatever merit is in good repute, & almost make it hateful with their praise"(Emerson: A Modern Anthology, ed. A Kazin & D. Aaron, p. 175). Through inflation, the currency is depreciated.

"... for axioms in philosophy are not axioms until they are proved upon our pulses: We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the Author... no man can set down Venery as a bestial or joyless thing until he is sick of it & therefore all philosophizing on it would be mere wording"(I, p. 279); cf. II, p. 81: "Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced — Even a Proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it." Cf. 第五則 à propos of a remark of Saint-Évremond & 第一百四十一則 à propos of a remark of Kierkegaard.

"The Duchess of Dunghill" (p. 321). Cf. Proust, Sodome & Gomorrhe, II, ch. 3 (À la recherche du temps perdu, Bib. d. l. Pléiade, II, p. 1090): "Que vous di alliez faire pipi chez la comtesse Caca, ou caca chez la baronne Pipi, c'est la même chose." Cf. "La Contessa di civillari" & "Don Meta" in Il Decameron, VIII. 9 (ed. Hoepli, p. 532); M. Bandello, Le Novelle, I. 35: "il tributo... a la contessa di Laterino" (Laterza, II, p. 53).【Moss Hart & George S.

Iv, an usher announces: "Milady duchesse de Fuckingstone... miss Sarah Butterbottom... milady marquise de Mausprick... milord Shittingbags... milady Cunter" etc.

"A Poet is the most unpoetical of any thing in existence; because he has no Identity; he is continually filling some other Body" etc. (I, p. 387, cf. supra I, 193).Cf. Baudelaire: "Les Foules": "Le poète jouit de cet incomparable privilège, qu'il peut à sa guise être lui-même et autrui. Comme ces âmes errantes qui cherchent un corps, il entre, quand il veut, dans le personnage de chacun. Pour lui seul, tout est vacant" etc. (Petits Poèmes en ProseOeuv. Comp., Bib. d. l. Pléiade, p. 95).

The Masterly analysis of the occupational schizophrenia of the parson (II, p. 63) beginning with "A Parson is a lamb in a drawing room & a lion in a vestry." Rollins in the footnote quotes the English proverb "A lamb in the house & a lion in the field"; cf. James Joyce, Ulysses, p. 452: "Street angel & house devil" & the French adage "Lion au logis, renard dans la plaine", or the German one "Hausteufel, Gassenengel."【Epictetus, Discourses, IV. v: "The proverb about the Lacedaemonians, 'Lions at home, but at Ephesus foxes,' will fit us too: lions in the schoolroom, foxes outside" ("The Loeb Class. Lib.", II, p. 345); Nicholas Breton: "A Sweet Lullaby": "Although a lion in the field, / A lamb in town thou shalt him find."】

On claret: "then you do not feel it quarrelling with your liver — no it is rather a Peace maker & lies as quiet as it did in the grape" (II, p. 64). Cf. Rilke, From the Remains of Count C.W., II. x: "Im Halse des Erstickten ist die Gräte so einig mit sich selber wie im Fisch."

"Our bodies every seven years are completely fresh-materialed... we are like the relic garments of a saint, the same & not the same" etc. (II, p. 208). Cf. Jane Austen's Letters, ed. R.W. Chapman, 2nd ed., p. 148: "But seven years I suppose are enough to change every pore of one's skin, & every feeling of one's mind." Also《列子‧天瑞篇》:"損盈成虧,隨世隨死。往來相接,間不可省,疇覺之哉?亦如人自世至老,貌色智態,亡日不異;皮膚爪髮,隨世隨落。" Jean-Baptiste Chassignet: "Mais tu ne verras rien de cette onde première / Qui naguère coulait; l'eau change tous les jours, / Tous les jours elle passe, et la nommons toujours / Mesme fleuve, et mesme eau, d'une mesme manière. // Ainsi l'homme varie, et ne sera demain / Telle comme aujourd'hui du pauvre corps humain / La force que le temps abrévie et consomme: / Le nom sans varier nous suit jusqu'au trépas."《肇論‧物不遷論第一》:"人則謂少壯同體,百齡一質,徒知年往,不覺形隨。是以梵志出家,白首而歸。鄰人見之曰:'昔人尚存乎?'梵志曰:'吾猶昔人,非昔人也。'鄰人皆愕然"( 柳宗元《戲題石門長老東軒》:"坐來念念非昔人");劉勰《新論‧惜時篇》:"夫停燈於缸,先驗焰非後焰,而明者不能見;藏山於澤,今形非昨形 ,而智者不能知。" Cf. Spinoza, Ethics, Pt. IV,  Prop. 38, Schol. (Selections by J. Wild, p. 327) on the body which dies but does not become a corpse. Cf. Francisco de Quevedo's Sueños: "Vous êtes tous les morts (muertes) des vous-mêmes... Ce que vous appelez vivre; c'est mourir en vivant (morir viviendo)" (J. Rousset, La Littérature de l'âge baroque en France, p. 117); & his sonnet "¡Ah de la vida!": "Ayer se fue; mañana no ha llegado; / Hoy se está yendo sin parar un punto: / soy un fue, y un será, y un es cansado. / En el hoy y mañana y ayer, junto / pañales y mortaja, y he quedado / presentes sucesiones de difunto" (Eleanor Turnbull, Ten Centuries of Spanish Poetry, p. 308); Hugo von Hofmannsthal: "Terzinen über Vergänglichkeit": "Und dass mein eignes Ich, durch nichts gehemmt, / Herüberglitt aus einem kleinen Kind / Mir wie ein Hund unheimlich stumm und fremd. / Dann: dass ich auch vor hundert Jahren war // Und meine Ahnen, die im Totenhemd, / Mit mir verwandt sind wie mein eignes Haar // So eins mit mir als wie mein eignes Haar" (Leonard Forster, The Penguin Book of German Verse, p. 395). Cf. Hume, Treatise, Bk. I, Pt. iv, Sct. 6: "Of Personal Identity" (ed. L.A. Selby-Bigge, I, pp. 251 ff.): "If any impression gives rise to the idea of self, that impression must continue invariably the same, through the whole course of our lives... But there is no impression constant & invariable. Pain and (p. 251) pleasure, grief & joy, passions & sensations succeed each other, & never all exist at the same time... when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure (p. 252)... The mind is a kind of theatre... There is properly no simplicity in it at one time, nor identity in different" (p. 253). Cf. 七六六則 on André Gide. George Herbert: "Giddinesse" [35]: "Oh what a thing is man! how farre from power, / From settled peace & rest! / He is some twentie sev'rall men at least / Each sev'rall houre" (Works, ed. E.F. Hutchinson, p. 127); J.-B. Chassignet [36]Mépris de la vie, sonnet v: "Le nom sans varier nous suit jusqu'au trépas, / Et combien qu'aujourd'hui celui ne sois-je pas / Qui vivais hier passé, toujours même on me nomme" (J. Rousset, Anthologie poesie baroque fr., p. 199); L. Pirandello, Uno, Nessuno e Centomila, Lib. II, cap. 5: "Riconoscete forse anche voi ora, che un minuto fa voi eravate un altro... non solo, ma voi eravate anche cento altri, centomila altri... Vedete piuttosto se vi sembra di poter essere cosí sicuro che di qui a domani sarete quel che assumete di essere oggi" (Opere, II, Tutti i Romanzi, a cura di C. Alvardo, p. 1310).

"And in latin there is a fund of curious literature of the middle ages" (II, p. 212). Though Keats here writes out of hearsay, his interest in mediaeval Latin should have earned him a tribute from Remy de Gourmont (cf. Le Latin mystique, p. 19 on the attitude of les cuistes scandalisés towards le latin d'église) & E.R. Curtius (cf. Europäische Literatur und lateinisches Mittelalter, 2te Aufl., S. 22-3).

On the Paradise Lost as "a corruption of our language" with a baneful seductiveness "against" which he "stood on guard" (II, p. 212). I think this is the germ of T.S. Eliot's famous "Milton I" (On Poetry & Poets, pp. 138 ff.) on the "bad influence" of Milton's "rhetorical style". (J.M. Murry quoted Keats's remark in his attack on the Miltonic style, cf. L.P. Smith, Milton & His Modern Critics, p. 19.) In his scathing criticism of Eliot's palinode with regard to Milton (RES, May 1959, p. 212), James Sutherland has failed to see that Eliot took his cue from Keats.

In a footnote on II, p. 263, Rollins quotes Fanny Brawne's letter to Brown on Dec. 29, 1829: "I fear the kindest act would be to let him [Keats] rest for ever in the obscurity to which unhappy circumstances have condemned him. Will the writings that remain of his rescue him from it?" So this is her honest, well-considered opinion of the achievement of her lover, a man "who [she] had often heard called the best judge of poetry living" (F, Edgecumbe, ed., Letters of Fanny Brawne to Fanny Keats, p. 63). My high opinion of the woman, formed after reading her letters to Keats's sister, has come down with a resounding bump.

 "And when his head was falling, the trumpet finished alone its tune; and even as the warrior did perish, a hoarse blare sped from the brass."

 Barbara Reynold 英譯 (下引 Orlando Furioso 同): "These words he uttered just before the end; / 'Remember me, Orlando, when you pray'; / And he continued, 'To you I commend / My Fiordi...' but the 'ligi' could not say."

 "He flung himself as quickly as he could / Upon the saddle of his thoroughbred. / He would have liked to shout 'Come back! Come back!' / But of his mouth he felt a grievous lack."

 "Weepy onion."

 "Rub heads."

 "Press... cheek to..."

 "As though she were playing at ball, give-and-take in a ring, she makes herself common property to all men. To one she nods, at another she winks; one she caresses, another embraces. Now elsewhere a hand is kept busy; now she jerks another's foot. To one she gives her ring to look at, to another her lips blow a kiss that invites. She sings a song with one; but waves a message for another with her finger."

 "Worn-down poker."

 "For when a dog is struck by a stone, it attacks not so much him who strikes it as that same stone by which it was struck."

 "That he grinds, but she winnows out as it were corn with her loins."

 "She'll jerk as though she were winnowing corn with her buttocks."

 "... keeners, who, hired on pay, weep in another's funeral-crowd, tear their hair and cry out much more than others do."

 "Just as you, whom we believe to be the very-likeness of the righteous life."

 "She stains you, but on the other hand he soils you."

Soulié de Morant, ancien consul en Chine,... s'employait à faire connaître en France ce curieux procédé de guérison [l'acupuncture]." Gustave Cohen, Ceux que j'ai connus, p. 21: "Il [Maeterlinck] vante les merveilles de l'acuponcture chinoise..." 連類記之。【Baron de Charlus  Duc de Guermantes  "Si je me rappelle, mon petit Mémé!... Tu nous menaçais d'aller passer définitivement ta vie en Chine tant tu étais épris de ce pays" (Sodome & Gomorrhe, II, À la recherche du temps perdu, "La Pléiade", II, p. 718).

            C. Hayward, The Courtesan, p. xii-xiii: "In case one is inclined to wonder how... the belief is still current that a courtesan's profession is to experience pleasure, the answer is that her lovers always do & that it is a natural & flattering illusion for them to believe that she reciprocates their enjoyment.... Insensibility is an essential characteristic of her profession." 按 Havelock Ellis, Studies in the Psychology of Sex, vol. VII, pp. 269-270 亦言妓女之 "frigidity", "hallowness of physical emotion",無此了當也。Wayland Young: "Sitting on a Fortune" 尤鑿鑿有據,一妓至云:"Sandra would be no good on the game. She likes men & she enjoys sex" (Encounter, May 1959, p. 21),殊耐尋味,故曰:"To the English whore, England is a country of women as frigid as she is, or frigider, but who don't even try to pretend" (p. 30; cf. p. 20: "If you pay her enough, she pretends to come" [i.e. "to 'grunt & groan'" — p. 21])。餘參觀第六百三十三則論《渾如篇‧不問了》。【《歸田詩話》卷上:"晏叔原詞云:'舞低楊柳樓心月,歌罷桃花扇底風。'此二句,勾欄中多作門對。"】

The wise man learns to know himself as well by the night's black mantle, as the searching beams of day. In sleep, we have the naked & natural thoughts of our souls... It was the wise Zeno that said, he could collect a man by his dreams. Claudian: 'Omnia quae sensu volvuntur vota diurno, / Tempore nocturno, reddit arnica quies' etc. 'Day thoughts, transwinged from th' industrious breast, / All seem re-acted in the night's dumb rest' etc." (Resolves). Thoreau, A Week on the Concord & Merrimack Rivers: "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters... For in dreams we but act a part which must have been learned & rehearsed in our waking hours, & no doubt could discover some waking consent thereto. If this meanness has not its foundation in us, why are we grieved at it? In dreams we see ourselves naked & acting out our real characters, even more clearly than we see others awake. But an unwavering & commanding virtue would compel even its most fantastic & faintest dreams to respect its ever wakeful authority; as we are accustomed to say carelessly, we should never have dreamed of such a thing. Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake" (Thoreau,Walden & Other Writings, Modern Library, p. 403).【漢語"做夢也想不到"謂外事也(如發財、遭禍、奇遇),非謂內心也。】

Roger Peyrefitte, Les Ambassades. One of the two best, liveliest novels on diplomacy & the foreign service, the other being Hugh Thomas's The World's Game; both are exposures of the mystique of theCarrière by career-men. The only trouble with Peyrefitte is that he is a "man's man" who poses also as a lady-killer, a pervert who pretends to be on occasions a "convert"; the Françoise episode in this book is as little convincing as the Edwige episode in Jeunes Proies. Incidentally, Edwige confessed to have read Les Ambassades at seventeen & regarded the book as "son épée de chevet" (Jeunes Proies, p. 77).

P. 14: "... et vous verrez... que nous [les diplomates] avons des croix à porter, ailleurs que sur nos poitrines." Cf. the quatrain quoted in Ugo Nanni, Enciclopedia delle ingiurie, p. 18: "In tempi men leggiadri e più feroci / I ladri li appendevano alle croci; / In tempi men feroci e più leggiadri / Si appendono le croci in petto ai ladri."

P. 44: "Avouz que nous exerçons un métier de seigneur" etc. Cf. Hugh Thomas, The World's Game, p. 25: "Diplomacy retains, for many, its ancient glamour" etc.

            Pp. 185-6: "Il y avait,... à Athènes et au Pirée, des 'bals pour hommes'. Correspondant aux 'bains pour hommes'." Cf. R.v. Krafft-Ebing, Psychopathia Sexualis, Authorised English Adaptation of the 12th  German Edition, by F.J. Rebman, pp. 590 ff. for a description of "The Woman-haters' Ball".

            P. 241: "La femme d'Elémir Bourges, qui était fièra d'être née en Bohème, disait que la Tchécoslovaquie n'était pas un nom de pays, mais un nom de maladie." Cf. 第一百五十七則 a propos de Chesterton's Autobiography, pp. 185-6.

P. 267: A note in De Marcella's translation of Meleager: "J'ai tranformé ici Diophantos en Diophanta et Alexis en Alexa" etc. This is an old face-saving formula: "Ces amours étranges dont sont pleines les élégies des poètes anciens... sont donc vraisemblables et possibles. Dans les traductions... nous mettions des noms de femmes à la place de ceux qui y étaient... Les beaux garçons devenaient de belles filles" (Gautier, Mlle de Maupin, éd. Fasquelle, p. 161). Cf. Paul Léautaud, Journal littéraire, V. p. 295 reporting Gide: "Tout le monde sait l'histoire d'Aziyadé, de Loti. Quand Loti apporta le volume à Calmann, ce n'est pas un nom de femme qu'il avait pour titre. Les Calmann représentèrent à Loti le scandale que ce serait s'il ne changeait pas son 'héros' en une héroïne. C'est alors seulement que Loti changea son personnage et en fit une femme"[7]; also Justin O'Brien's article "Albertine the Ambiguous" (PMLA, Dec. 1949, pp. 933 ff.) on the transposition of sexes in Marcel Proust's novels & the significance of the readily feminised formes of masculine names like Gilberte, Albertine & Andrée, etc. Cf. Proust himself makes M. de Charlus say in Sodome & Gomorrhe, I: "... la petite personne [dont la silhouette m'aura amusé], dont nous ne parlons au féminin que pour suivre la règle (comme on dit en parlant d'un prince: Est-ce que Son Altesse est bien portante?)..." (À la recherche du temps perdu, " Pléiade", II, 610); La Prisonnière: "M. de Vaugoubert ... mettait tous les noms d'hommes au féminin" (III, 26); Le Temps retrouvé (III, 910). Edmund Wilson, The Triple Thinkers, p. 199: "J.J. Chapman saw the importance of pederacy in Plato: Diotima is an odious creature, being a man in disguise." Peyrefitte himself spoke of this rôle travestie in La Fin des ambassades (p. 16): "Dans ses livres, il [de Beauséant] cultivait la contradiction... On ne savait plus s'il était... mysogine ou gynolâtre, s'ils peignait des filles sous le nom de garçons ou des garçons sous le nom des filles." Cf. 第二百五十七則。Cf. E.W. Lane, The Manners & Customs of the Modern Egyptians, "Everyman's", p. 375, note: "Here, in accordance with a rule observed in most modern Arab songs, the masculine gender is applied to the beloved object, who is, nevertheless, a female, as will be seen in several subsequent verses. In translation, I therefore substitute the feminine gender." Byron's touching lines on Thurza were occasioned by the death of the choirboy John Edlestone whom he passionately loved when a student at Cambridge; "by using a woman's, he was able to give full release to his feelings" (Leslie A. Marchand, Byron, I, pp. 396-7).

            P. 272: "Peut-âtre estimait-il qu'une ambassadrice est toujours belle, comme celui qui estimait jadis qu'une duchesse a toujours trente ans pour un bourgeois." The reference is to Stendhal, De l'amour, Liv. 1, ch. 1: "Une duchesse n'a jamais que trente ans pour un bourgeois, disait la duchesse de Chaulnes; une jolie femme de la Haye qui ne pouvait se résoudre à ne pas trouver charmant un homme qui était duc ou prince" (Éd. "Le Divan", I, p. 29).

La fin des ambassades, like almost all sequels, is inferior to its predecessor as a novel, but mush more interesting as a human document. It is a livre de bonne foi  mauvaise conscience as well, the sense of guilt as a collaborateur, some very good descriptions of life in occupied France & fine analysis of the state of mind of the collaborateur, all reminiscent of what I myself witnessed in Shanghai during 1941-6. The "mass of seated information" on "the tragedy of France" often gives the novel the appearance of an anecdotal history "without tears". The satire of the résistance de Septembre is clumsy & blunt in comparison with that in Jean Dutourd's Au Bon Beurree, Ptie., ch. 3, 4 & 5, (pp. 246 ff.). P. 293 on Maître V., a French lawyer who gladly offered his services to the Gestapo: "Malgre une profession qui le metait en contact avec le public, tous ses goûts l'en éloignaient. Vivant dans un monde clos, il en avait brusquement abordé un autre avec une âme candide comme il avait dit, ou au moins avec une parfaite inconscience. Ces de la même façon que des hommes de science, des hommes d'esprit, des hommes du monde, aussi étrangers à la politique, avaient apporté un concours actif et parfois désordonné, voire imprudent, à la collaboration.... Dans leurs salons ou dans les salons des autres, dans leurs bibliothèques, dans leur cabinets de travail, ils s'étaient construits un idéal, qui ne pouvait soutenir l'éprouve de la réalité. Il's étaient, à leur insu, des émigrés de l'intérieur." This is really preposterous! The term innere Emigration innerer Verbannung, despite the loathsome rush with which opportunists after the war laid claim to it, stands for "a deeply tragic reality" (cf. Wm. K Pfeiler, German Literature in Exile, pp. 17, 46). People like Maître V. who could live in such luxueuse installation(p. 292) & give such a magnificent repast to the Germans (pp. 299-305), are certainly the last persons to be so labelled.Albert Samain, Carnets Intimes: "Il y a une jouissance d'ironie que je rencontre chez beaucoup d'êtres autour de moi et qui m'échappe complètement, c'est l'ironie qui consiste à chercher dans toute situation pathétique, à laquelle on assiste, le coté ridicule qu'elle peut présenter, ou simplement le détail drôle qui peut s'y glisser... se plaisir à constater que notre humaniste, poignantes, est la proie des nécessités physiques ou matérielles me semble misérable et meprisable" (La Petite Illustration, 12 août 1939, Couverture, p. 2).

            P. 187: "Dans les vitrines, les portraits du maréchal étaient autant plus grands que le manque de marchandises y laissait plus de place." Cf. Ten Eventful Years, II, 599: "A butcher shop in Lyons hung the photographs of Henri Petain & Pierre Laval at window & placed beneath them a sign: vendu."

            In his Romanticism & the Modern Ego (1945), pp. 163-4, Jacques Barzun speaks of "self-consciousness", "mauvaise honte" or "the systematic distrust of one's own perceptions & desires" as "the first striking trait of the modern ego" & quotes for example the dedication of Ezra Pound's Personae: "This book is for Mary Moore of Trenton, if she wants it." (Cf. James Sutherland, English Satire, p. 149: "The strange idea... that the poem should carry within itself some ironical prophylactic to the laughter of irreverent readers, is one that had never, I imagine, occur to anyone until the present century.") I have just come across a fine example in Françoise Sagan's Un certain sourire, p. 14: "...lorsqu'il m'avait écrit: 'Je trouve cette déclaration ridicule, mais je crois que je t'aime', j'avais pu lui répondre sur le même ton et sans mentir: 'Cette déclaration est ridicule, mais je t'aime aussi.'" This seems the logical conclusion of Flaubert's "pudeur": "Haubert's "pudeur": "C'est cette pudeur-là qui m'a toujours empêché de faire la cour à une femme; en disant les phrases po-é-tiques qui me venaient alors aux lèvres, j'avais peur qu'elle ne se dise: 'Quel charlatan!'" (à Louise Colet, Corr., éd. Conard, II, p. 461).

 Paul Léautaud, Journal littéraire, I. p. 81: "On n'est pas beau après l'amour." Cf. Greek Anthology, Bk. V. 77, Rufinus (Loeb, I, p. 167): "If women had as much charm when all is over as before, men would never tire of intercourse with their wives, but all women are displeasing then."

 Paul Léautaud, Journal littéraire, I. p. 58: "Comme elle [Georgette] m'aimait! Jusqu'à imiter mon écriture! Signe certain de l'amour, ce penchant à prendre certaines façons de quelqu'un." Cf. Goethe, Die Wahlverwandtschaften, Iter Teil, 12tes Kap.: "Sie [Ottilie] legte das Original und die Abschrift vor Eduard auf den Tisch.... Er sah sie an, er besah die Abschrift. Die ersten Blätter waren mit der grössten Sorgfalt, mit einer zarten weiblichen Hand geschrieben... Aber wie erstaunt war er, als er die letzten Seiten mit den Augen überlief: 'Um Gottes willen!' rief er aus, 'was ist das? Das ist meine Hand!' Er sah Ottilien an und wieder auf die Blätter, besonders der Schluss war ganz, als wenn er ihn selbst geschrieben hätte. Ottilie schwieg... Eduard hob seine Arme empor: 'Du liebst mich!' rief er aus, 'Ottilie, du liebst mich!' und sie hielten einander umfasst" (Goethes Werke, in zehn Bänden, hrsg. R. Buchwald, Weimar, 1958, Bd. VII, S. 215).【毛奇齡《曼殊別誌書塼》:"才把筆,即能畫字。其字每類余,見者輒謂予假為之。"】

            For the classicists, poetry is essentially a matter of technique & craftsmanship, yet they talk vociferously of "inspiration" & "divine rage". Alice Meynell seems to have had an inkling of this paradox when she said in The Points of Controversy that the 18th century "kindled artificial fires" & "invented the art of raving." The point has been completely missed by Milton C. Nahm's laborious & stuffy study of the theory of inspiration, The Artist as Creator. Only classicists who refused to talk cant would admit like Baudelaire that "L'orgie n'est plus la soeur de l'inspiration: nous avons cassé cette parenté adultère... L'inspiration est décidément la soeur du travail journalier" (L'Art Romantique, VI, "Conseils aux jeunes littérateurs", quoted in Ch. Braibant, Le Métier d' Écrivain, p. 96; cf. similar mistrust of "inspiration" in Flaubert & Gide on pp. 97 & 102) (Oeuv. comp., "Bib. de la Pléiade", p. 946); Baudelaire's views on "la rationalité du génie" (Réne Lalou, Défense de l'Homme, pp. 61-2) is of course derived from Poe'sPhilosophy of Composition (see P. Mansell Jones, The Background of Modern French Poetry, p. 45) & recalls Novalis's theory "Gemeinschaftlicher Wahnsinn hört auf Wahnsinn zu sein und wird Magie, Wahnsinn und Regeln und mit vollem Bewusstsein" (Schriften, hrsg. Kluckholm, II, S. 336). Pope is one of such classicists. G. Tillotson, Pope & Human Nature, p. 136: "... he referred to the writing of poetry as a craft, as a professional & technical matter, clear of hieratic mystery. In his poetry as a whole he did not speak of inspiration but of words & lines: not of poetry but of 'song', 'sing-song', 'verse', 'numbers', 'rhyme', the product of that 'unweary'd mill'.... When he did suggest that poetry took its rise in quarters more mysterious than the fingers, it was often to mock at the poet whose inspiration was bogus"; p. 139: "The poet used the same instrument as a clerk did. He was a technician as a gardener was... or as a schoolmaster... or as a miller... or as a sailor" etc. Cf. Luigi Russo, La Critica letteraria contemporanea, 3aed., 1953, I, p. 9: "'Se la poesia ha da essere arte, ciò che dicesi forma é e ha da essere della poesia almenotre quarti.' E, in forza di cotesto principio, il Carducci supera ancora la bassa concezione romantica dell'arte-genio, dell'arte ispirazione estemporanea, dell'arte dono liberale di Apollo. 'L'ispirazione è una delle tante ciarlatanerie che siamo costretti ad ammettere e subire per abitudine'. E altrove ancora ribadisce: 'Quella che i più credono o chiamano troppo facilmente ispirazione, bisogna farla passare per il travaglio delle fredde ricerche e tra il lavoro degli istrumenti critici, a provar s'ella dura.'" Cf. Katharine E. Gilbert & H. Kuhn, A History of Esthetics, p. 173: "But [Castelvetro] will not tolerate the Platonic doctrine that the source of poetry is divine madness. For it is through conscious artistry, through hard study & not through irrational genius, that poetry comes into being. He will not even admit that Plato himself seriously meant to assert so unintellectual a spring for the origin of poetry (Poetica d'Aristotele, p. 67)", & W. Kayser, Das Sprachliche Kunstwerk, 4te Aufl., S. 190-1.In Novalis's novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen, Klingsohr, the master, thus advises Heinrich, the poet-aspirant: "Begeisterung ohne Verstand ist unnütz und gefährlich... Der junge Dichter kann nicht kühl, nicht besonnen genug sein... Die Poesie will vorzüglich, fuhr Klingsohr fort, als strenge Kunst getrieben sein"; Fr. Schlegel (Athenäum) says: "Je mehr die Poesie Wissenschaft wird, je mehr wird sie auch Kunst" (both quoted in Walter Silz, Early German Romanticism, pp. 31-2; Novalis from Schriften, Jena, 1923, IV, pp. 166-8, Schlegel from Athenäum, München, 1934, I, p. 71) — very anticipatory of Poe & Baudelaire. Wordsworth says in the 1800 Preface to Lyrical Ballads: "For all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: & though this be true, poems to which any value can be attached were never produced on any variety of subjects but by a man who, being possessed of more than usual organic sensibility, had also thought long and deeply."Renoir: "Soyez d'abord un bon ouvrier; cela ne vous empêchera pas d'avoir du génie."

            The Notebooks of S.T. Coleridge, ed. Kathleen Coburn, vol. I, §432. 22: "Heart the husband, the Tongue the wife — every word that comes not from the heart is therefore a Son of a Whore." Coburn in her notes pointed out that this epigram, like all others in the same entry, is an adaptation of one by Fr.v. Logau (Sinngedichte, III, §24, ".Ehestand des Herzens und der Zunge") This epigram has crept into Lessing'sSinngedicht: "Das Herz und Zung ist wie vermählt, / Die zeugen Kinder ungezählt./ Wann beide sie nicht eines sind, / Wird jedes Wort ein Hurenkind" (Lessing, Auswahl in drei Bänden, Veb, Bd. I, S. 556).

            I, §662: "Learning without philosophy a Cyclops"; Coburn in her notes referred to Table Talk. But this is derived from Kant, Anthropologie, §59: "Es giebt aber auch gigantische Gelehrsamkeit, die doch oft cyklopisch ist, der nämlich ein Auge fehlt: nämlich das, der wahren Philosophie, um diese Menge des historischen Wissens, die Fracht von hundert Kameelen, durch die Vernunft zweckmässig zu benutzen" (Kant, Werke, hrsg. E. Cassirer, Bd. VIII, S. 116). Cf. Joubert, Pensées, "Libraire Académique", Tit. XVIII. §93: "Que de savants forgent les sciences, cyclopes laborieux, ardents, infatigables, mais qui n'ont qu'un oeil!" My coinage: "His learning is encyclopeandic." Cf. Nietzsche, Die Geburt der Tragödie, Kap. 14: "Denken wir uns jetzt das eine grosse Cyklopenauge des Sokrates auf die Tragödie gewandt, jenes Auge, in dem nie der holde Wahnsinn künstlerischer Begeisterung geglüht hat..." (Werke, hrsg. K. Schlechta, I, S. 78).

〇第六百四十九、六百六十八則引西方談藝之說,又七百三則論 Marino,言詩文以靜為高境。既而思之,此意首發於李文饒《會昌一品集‧外集》卷三《文章論》云:"鼓氣以勢壯為美,勢不可以不息,不息則流宕而忘返,亦猶絲竹繁奏,必有希聲窈妙,聽之者悅聞,如川流迅激,必有洄洑逶迤,觀之者不厭。從兄翰常言:'文章如千兵萬馬,風恬雨霽,寂無人聲',蓋謂是矣。"惲南田《甌香館集》卷十一《畫跋》引山谷論文云:"蓋世聰明,驚彩絕艷,離却'靜'、'淨'二語,便墮短長縱橫習氣。"亦此意也。鍾、譚論詩,頗標厥旨,《詩歸》鍾《序》云:"察其幽情單緒、孤行靜寄於喧雜之中,而乃以其虛懷定力,獨往冥游於寥廓之外";譚《序》云:"彼號為大家者,終其身無異詞,終其古無異詞,而反以此失獨坐靜觀者之心" ;《古詩歸》卷三唐山夫人《安世房中歌》:"粥粥音送細齊人",譚評云:"與《大雅》'有聞無聲'同一靜想";卷五《練時日》:"相放震澹心",譚云:"六字不可言 ,惟靜者默吟知之";《唐詩歸》卷十五鍾評太白云:"讀太白詩,當於雄快中察其静遠精岀處,有斤兩,有脈理";同卷《尋陽紫極宮感秋作》:"靜坐觀眾妙,浩然媚幽獨",譚評云:"取太白詩,貴以幽細之語,補其輕快有餘之失,如此等句,即妙矣";卷二十八鍾評元相云:"看古人輕快詩,當另察其精神靜深處,如微之'秋依靜處多'、樂天'淸泠由本性'、'曲罷秋夜深'等句,元、白本色,幾無尋處矣。然此乃元、白詩所由出,與其所以可傳之本也";友夏《東坡詩選》卷七評《書王定國所藏烟江疊嶂圖》云:"坡結句之妙,亦只是議論挽束得有味耳。含不盡於言外,息羣動於無聲,如管絃之乍停。瀑布之不收者,未有也。"即Hölderlin: "An die jungen Dichter" 詩中所謂:"zur Stille der Schönheit"(Sämtliche Werke, Stuttgarter Hölderlin-Ausgabe, I, S. 253;  Wolfgang Kayser, Das sprachliche Kunstwerk, 4te Auf., S. 231-2  Hegel, Ästhetik 語,見第六百六十八則引)。【Ch.

VI, 2e Ptie., p. 107); "s'affranchir des choses d'ici-bas, s'y déplaire, fuir seul vers lui seul" (Ib., VI. ix. 10, p. 188),藝也,而通於道矣!《列朝詩集傳‧丁十三‧胡梅傳》引曹能始為作詩序,有云:"白叔之為詩,避俗套如湯火,驅使己意,如石工之硺碪巖,篙師之下灘瀨,所未免者,有斧鑿痕及喧豗聲耳",亦正合鍾、譚之旨,參觀 Northrop Frye, Anatomy of Criticism, p. 27: "However disciplined by taste & skill, the experience of life is, like literature itself, unable to speak.... The reading of literature should, like prayer in the Gospels, step out of the talking world of criticism into the private & secret presence of literature. Otherwise the reading will not be a genuine literary experience, but a mere reflection of critical conventions, memories, & prejudices." 又按 H.J.C. Grierson,Rhetoric & English Composition, p. 18: "Mill's famous [dictum] is identical with Kebel's distinction in De Poeticae vi medica between oratory which is always consciously addressed to an audience, & poetry which is the utterance of the poet's feelings when he is, s to say, speaking to himself without any consciousness of a listener."James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, N.Y., 1916, p. 240: "I used the wordarrest.

〇周文萃編《徐昌穀全集》卷四《在武昌作》云:"洞庭葉未下,瀟湘秋欲生。高齋今夜雨,獨臥武昌城。重以桑梓念,凄其江漢情。不知天外雁,何事樂南征。"《皇明詩選》卷八稱之曰:"八句竟不可斷。"《池北偶談》卷十八、《香祖筆記》卷五尤嘆賞為"絕調"。按太白《秋夕書懷》云:"北風吹海雁,南渡落寒聲。感此瀟湘客,凄其流浪情" ;韋蘇州《新秋夜寄諸弟》云:"高梧一葉下,空齋秋思多";《聞雁》詩云:"故園渺何處,歸思方悠哉。淮南秋雨夜,高齋聞雁來。" 禎卿之詩,蓋出於此耳。可補《談藝錄》三五三頁 。【商盤《質園詩集》卷九《旅夜》:"西山雲乍領,東湖月正明。寂寥虛館夢,身在豫章城。重以友朋念,凄然砧杵情。蕭蕭新白髮,一夕枕邊生。"】

〇山谷《送王郎》云:":"酌君以蒲城桑落之酒,泛君以湘纍秋菊之英,贈君以黟川點漆之墨,送君以陽關墮淚之聲。酒澆胸次之磊塊 ,菊制短世之頹齡,墨以傳萬古文章之印,歌以寫一家兄弟之情。"《談藝錄》八頁謂仿鮑明遠《行路難》第一首 ,是矣而未盡。明遠妹令暉代葛沙門妻郭小玉作第二首云:"君子將遙役 ,遺我雙題錦。臨當欲去時,復留相思枕。題用常著心,枕以憶同寢。"山谷善兼兄妹兩作機杼,遂突過顧逋翁、歐陽永叔矣。

〇《柳南隨筆》卷三:"家露湑翁精於論詩,嘗語予曰:'作詩須以不類為類乃佳。'予請其說。時適有筆、硯、茶甌並列几上,翁指而言曰:'筆與硯類也,茶甌與筆、硯即不類。作詩者能融鑄為一,俾類與不類相為類,則入妙矣!'予因以社集分韻詩就正,翁舉'小摘園蔬聯舊雨,淺斟家釀詠新晴'一聯云:'即如"園蔬"與"舊雨"、"家釀"與"新晴",不類也,而能以意聯絡之,是即不類之類。子固已得其法矣。'"【Cf. Quintilian, Inst. Orat., VIII. iii. 74: "The more remote the simile is from the subject to which it is applied, the greater will be the impression of novelty & the unexpected which it produces."】按同書卷二云:"邑馮竇伯詩有'珠圓花上露,玉碎草頭霜'之句。一友嘆為工絕,予不以為然。友請其說,予曰:'律詩對偶,固須銖兩悉稱,然必看了上句,使人想不出下句,方見變化不測'"云云,可相參證。Johnson: "Wit, you know, is the unexpected copulation of ideas, the discovery of some occult relation between images in appearance remote from each other" (Rambler, no. 194, "Everyman's Library", p. 284); "[Metaphysical conceit is] a kind of discordia concors" (Lives of the English Poets, ed. Hill, I, p. 20); "A simile may be compared to lines converging at a point, & is more excellent as the lines approach from greater distance" (Ib., II, p. 130) (J.E. Brown, The Critical Opinions of Samuel Johnson, 1926, p. 267). R. Wellek, A History of Modern Criticism, I, p. 3: "It dates back to Aristotle's view that in a riddle it is possible to join together absurdities by metaphor (Poetics, XXII)【H.S. Butcher, Aristotle's Theory of Poetry & Fine Arts, p. 83】, or to Longinus' analysis of a poem by Sappho, which speaks of 'uniting contradictions in the feelings' (X, 24), as Allen Tate has pointed out.... Anticipations could be seen in concettist theories, in Gracian's theories of agudeza... as a 'splendid concordance, a harmonious correlation between 2 or 3 extremes, expressed in a single act of the understanding.'" Gaetano Mariani: "La tecnica dell'analogia nella poesia secentistica e in quella contemporanea": "Nel 1891 Mallarmé scriveva: 'La littérature a quelque chose de plus intellectuel... les choses existent, nous n'avons pas à les créer; nous n'avons qu'à en saisir les rapports; et ce sont les fils de ces rapports qui forment les vers et les orchestres.' E Ungaretti: 'la poesia moderna si propone di mettere in contatto ciò che è più distante. Maggiore è la distanza, superiore è la poesia. Quando tali contatti danno luce, è toccata poesia'" (La Critica stilistica e il barocco letterario: Atti del secondo congresso internazionale di studi italiani, 1958, p. 273); Pierre Reverdy, Le Gant de crin, 1926, p. 34: "Plus les rapports des deux réalités seront lointains et justes, plus l'image sera forte, plus elle aura de puissance émotive et de réalité poétique" 即此意也。餘見第五百七十一則、六百四十妻則、七百三十八則、七百三十九則(論皇甫湜《答李生書》)。馮竇伯詩,病尚不盡如東漵所言。"珠圓"句五字中,正反轉折有二意。"玉碎"句衹一意,以"碎"字道破。正未可謂為"銖兩悉稱"也。

〇《全唐文》卷五百二十八顧逋翁《右拾遺吳郡朱君集序》云:"如新安江水,文魚彩石,歷歷可數,其杳敻翛颯,若有人衣薜荔而隱女蘿"云云,形容詩文中含蓄、消納、吞吐、隱見之境,殊妙於語言。【參觀劉侗、于奕正《帝京景物略》卷五《黑龍潭》云:"文石輪輪,弱荇縷縷,空鳥沄沄,水有光無色,內物悉形,外物悉影。"】司空表聖《詩品》正所未及,惟《委曲》云:"似往已迴,如幽匪藏",稍露此意耳。【《四溟山人全集》卷二十三《詩家直說》云:"作詩不宜逼真,如朝行遠望青山,佳色隱然可愛,妙在含胡,方見作手。"董其昌《容臺別集》卷四《畫旨》:"攤燭作畫,正如隔簾看月,隔水看花,意在遠近之間,亦文章法也";又云:"畫欲暗不欲名,明者如觚稜鈎角是也,暗者如雲橫霧塞是也。"】【陳仁錫《冒宗起詩草序》:"嘗論文字如美人,浮香掠影,皆其側相,亦須正、側俱佳。今文字曰媚曰薄,可斜視不可正觀,如美人可臨水不可臨鏡(《無夢園文集‧馬集》卷三)。"】Martial  "頗黎蓋蒲桃,紗縠映婦體,澄水見文石",隔而不隔,最耐玩味 (Martial, VIII, xlviii, 5-8: "condita perspicua vivit vindemia gemma / et tegitur felix nec tamen uva latet: / femineum lucet sic per bombycina corpus, / calculus in nitida sic numeratur aqua" [our vineyard blooms shut in  transparent glass, & the fortunate grape is roofed and yet unhid.

L.C. Martin, pp. 75-6; cf. p. 516, commentary),然皆未喻之於藝。Montaigne, Essais, III, v: "Les vers de ces deux poètes [Virgil & Lucretius on the naked figure of Venus] traitant ainsi reservéement et discrettement de la lasciveté comme ils font, me semblent la descouvrir et esclairer de plus pres.

《古詩歸》卷一周武王《几銘》,鍾評不誤,已見第九十則論《賴古堂集》矣。李玉洲《貞一齋詩說》云:"《詩歸》以誤字為奇妙,如張曲江《詠梅》'馨香今尚爾'誤作'聲香',乃云'生得妙',豈不可笑?(按見《唐詩歸》卷五《庭梅詠》鍾評,原詩見《曲江文集》卷五)"則伯敬誠無辭自解。蓋誤以《心經》"聲香味觸"附會,自作《春事》五律亦云:"聲香能幾日"(詳見第三十五則)。王覺斯《擬山園初集》五律卷一《宿觀音寺》云:"聲香還未去,幽趣復何尋",七言律卷四《水花影》:"欲拾芳鈿如可得,聲香宛在水中央";朱議霶《朱中尉詩集》卷三《寄躬菴》:"試看背巖下,蕭蕭綴古梅。聲香俱不事,風骨必須推";阮圓海《詠懷堂集‧辛巳詩》卷上《張兆蘇移酌根遂宅》第二首云:"香聲喧橘柚,星氣滿蒿萊",當是為《詩歸》所誤,以矢橛作沙糖矣!【又見本冊末。 】【[補六百九十則]《隱秀軒詩‧地集》二《三月三日新晴與客步看所在桃花》:"數步即花事,聲香中外行";《地集》三《城南古華嚴寺》:"數里聲香中,人我在空綠";《黃集》三《春事》:"聲香能幾日,花柳已今年。"按之《地集》二《降自孔子崖循黃華洞止焉》:"粲粲黃華洞,聲光夕陽間";《地集》三《游梅花墅》:"修廊界竹樹,聲光變遠邇";《七月十五夜登鷄鳴寺》:"皎然聲影下,悲歡如迪嘗";《黃集》三《靈谷寺看梅》:"雪霜非在地,香色欲為村";《黃集》四《瓶中梅影映壁上畫梅影》 :"雪月來誰識?香光借亦親";《宇集》一《春暮看桃花宿王氏山莊作》:"曾經詠賞心尤戀,未接香光魂早通";《宇集》二《二月三日重過靈谷寺看梅》:"風雨半春留好日,香光二月出深寒";《宙集‧秦淮隔舟》:"香光成密感,心耳效微誠";《盈集‧秦淮燈船賦》:"聲光雜兮";《辰集》二《梅花墅記》:"竹樹表裏之,流響交光,分風爭日。予詩所謂'修廊界竹樹,聲光變遠邇'";《辰集》三《岱記》:"亭之聲光相亂"等,則"聲"與"香"乃二事之合稱。圓海之"香聲",則進一解矣。】賀黃公《載酒園詩話》卷一指摘《詩歸》十餘則,有云:"少陵《客居》'徐步示小園' ,鍾評:'"示"字妙。'檢《集》,則'視'字之誤",蓋亦"聲香"之類。【《全金詩》卷二十七龐鑄《花下》云:"若為常作莊周夢,飛向幽芳鬧處栖。"王灼《虞美人》:"枝頭便覺層層好,信是花相惱;船一棹百分空,了如今醉倒鬧香中"(《全宋詞》卷一百五十五),是其先例,亦如 Ezra Pound 誤以"聞"字從"耳",乃云:"To define it ideogramically, we may start with the 'Listening to Incense.'

〇鍾評識力遠過於譚,可取者多。《列朝詩集傳》丁十二謂:"鍾才優於譚",毛稚黃《詩辨坻》卷四《竟陵詩解駁議》:"鍾、譚去鍾益不逮",是也。《王船山遺書》卷六十四《夕堂永日緒論內編》乃謂:"譚若不與鍾為徒,可分文徵仲一席",□殆非…… 。《古詩歸》卷六無名氏《李陵錄別詩》、卷七魏武帝《短歌行》皆有蔡敬夫評,語殊無謂。(敬夫評《短歌行》云:"去'呦呦鹿鳴'四句舊詩,以'明明如月'接'沉吟至今',何如?"與謝茂秦意相合,《四溟山人全集》卷二十一《詩家直說》云:"《短歌行》全用《鹿鳴》四句,不如蘇武'鹿鳴思野草,可以喻佳賓'點化為妙。'沉吟至今'可接'明明如月',何必《小雅》哉!《藝文類聚》載此詩,去其半,尤為簡當,意貫語足。")

〇《列朝詩集傳》丁十二《袁小修傳》云:"小修嘗語余:'杜之《秋興》、白之《長恨》、元之《連昌宮詞》,皆千古絕調,文章之元氣也。楚人不知,妄加評竄。吾與子當昌言擊排,點出手眼,無使後生墮彼雲霧"云云【亦見《初學集》卷七十九《答唐訓導汝諤論文書》】,蓋指《唐詩歸》卷二十二僅選《秋興》一首("昆明池水漢時功" ,《瀛奎律髓》止選"聞道長安似弈棋"一首,顧俠君《寒廳詩話》謂《萬首》以前選家皆同《律髓》),卷二十八僅選《琵琶行》而言。觀《譚友夏全集》卷八《東坡詩選序》、《袁中郎先生續集序》,知中郎之子述之化於竟陵,然乃叔《答須水部日華書》(中央書店本《珂雪齋近集》卷二)、《蔡不瑕詩序》、《花雪賦引》(卷三),於中郎詩幾如陽明之論朱子有"晚年定論"之意,是亦已不能堅守公安壁壘矣!《珂雪齋近集》三《花雪賦引》謂:"伯敬論詩,極推中郎。其言出,而世之推中郎者益眾。"《游居杮錄》卷三記"同年鍾伯敬來訪,彼此一見歡甚";卷十論伯敬選雷太史(按即雷思霈)詩過求精,言外致不云之意。蓋公安、竟陵始合終離,牧齋所述,或可信耳。【《列朝詩集傳》丁十二引金陵張文寺云:"伯敬入中郎之室,而思別出奇",可與小修《花雪賦引》印證。】《珂雪齋近集》卷一《東游日記》云:"近日學詩者,纔把筆,即絕口不言長慶,如《琵琶行》使李、杜為之,未必能過"云云,則為《藝圃擷餘》而發,當與卷二《答王天根書》參看,非言竟陵也。餘見第三十七則、第二百九則、第六百一則、第六百八十九則。
