This Craft of Verse

独到的观点中透露出独立的个性，过度谦虚的语调让人怀疑本真。不过亮点很多，尤其喜欢metaphor一部分。

“At first we are apt to think of the river as flowing. We think, ‘Of course, the river goes on but the water is changing.’ Then, with an emergingsense of awe, we feel that we too are changing—that we are as shifting and evanescent as the river is.” Touched by beauty, lived by passion and joy, Borges’ instinct is as good as any natural philosopher.

第一次体会到读书读得食不甘味。我的2015最佳！博尔赫斯已超越王尔德成为我的第一男神了！

真没劲。。

一边看译文，一边听录音，如此才能get哈佛学生的笑点😂

more of a good reader than a good writer

「I think you are quite mistake if you admire my writing. But I think of it as a very generous mistake. I think that one should try to believe in things even if they let you down afterwards.」也是另一种意义上的美而不自知了。

边听录音边看。博尔赫斯讲课时几字一顿，读诗时瞬间流利，韵律十足，现代英语也读出来古英语的感觉。
