In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time; the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream. (Thomas Carlyle, Heroes and Hero-Worship, v, “The Hero as Man of Letters”)
书里蕴藏着全部过去时代的精魂,古昔发出的朗朗之声,而旧时的形体和物质恰如梦境一般,早已荡然无存。 (卡莱尔,《英雄与英雄崇拜》第5篇《作为文豪的英雄》 )
