【Sesame and Lilies】 John Ruskin (1819-1900) For all books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time. Mark this distinction - it is not one of quality only. It is not merely the bad book that does not last, and the good one that does. It is a distinction of species. There are good books for the hour, and good ones for all time; bad books for the hour, and bad ones for all time. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《芝麻與百合》】 (英國)神慈·羅斯金“紅髮”(1819生—1900卒) 【紅霞譯】 既然所有書籍都可分為兩類：一類是當下流行的，另一類則是千古流芳的，那請注意其中的區別——不僅僅是質量的區別，也不僅僅是壞書不能持久、好書卻能永恆，而是事關種類的區別，有當下流行的好書，也有永世長存的珍品；有當下流行的壞書，也有遺臭萬年的糟粕。 【注】蒂爾伯里“能者堡壘”號稱泰晤士“暗”河沿岸最大的港口，是倫敦港主要集裝箱港口，包括英國最大的穀物碼頭和造紙樞紐，而當地的犯罪率相當可觀，平均每百人就有15起案例。 蒂爾伯里對岸的格雷夫森德“樹林盡頭”(Gravesend)雖然也不安全，但河景獨有情調。 離開法國後，我取道蒂爾伯里前往利茲“湍急河流”城堡(Leeds Castle)。
