Comments on Thomas Hardy The last and one of the greatest Victorian novelists a great poet at the turn of the twentieth century Pygmalion《皮格马利翁》/《卖花女》 one of the most popular plays of Bernard Shaw It describes the transformation of a flower-seller, Eliza, into a passable imitation of a duchess by the phonetician Professor Higgins who undertakes this task in order to win a bet and to prove his own points about English speech and the class system. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. 我是怎样的爱你？诉不尽万语千言： 我爱你的程度是那样地高深和广远， 恰似我的灵魂曾飞到了九天与黄泉， 去探索人生的奥妙和神灵的恩典。 I love thee to the level of everydays Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. 无论是白昼还是夜晚，我爱你不息， 象我每日必须的食物不能间断。 我纯洁地爱你，不为奉承吹捧迷惑， 我勇敢地爱你，如同为正义而奋争。 I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhoods faith. 爱你，以昔日的剧痛和童年的忠诚， 爱你，以眼泪、笑声及全部的生命。 I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. 如果没有你，我的心就失去了圣贤， 如果没有你，我的心就失去了激情。 假如上帝愿意，请为我作主和见证： 在我死后，我必将爱你更深，更深。 The turn of the 20th century saw a flourish of dramatic works. Oscar Wilde 王尔德 Irish novelist, poet, dramatist We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. I can resist everything except temptation. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. The heart is made to be broken. The Happy Prince and Other Tales “The Happy Prince” “The Nightingale and the Rose” “The Selfish Giant” Novel The Picture of Dorian Gray 《道林·格雷的画像》 Preface of The Picture of Dorian Gray: The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s sake. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.
