与友人分享的一小段爱默生
分享给诗人杨震老师的一小段爱默生。节选自其1837年8月31日，在美国剑桥城的美国大学生联谊会发表的著名演讲：《美国学者》（The American Scholar）
译文：
...“创作与思想本身就葆含着一种神秘性，这种神秘性通过记录转换成文字。人们觉得吟唱时候的诗人是神圣的；依此那唱诗也是神圣的。那位作家就是一公正智慧的灵魂；从此那部书便公认为尽善尽美的；而这正如人们对于英雄的热爱变质为崇拜他们的石像。旋即，那本书就变得有害：向导也沦为暴君。”
原文：
..."The sacredness which attaches to the act ofcreation,--the act of thought,--is transferred to the record. The poet chanting, was felt to be a divine man: henceforth the chant is divine also. The writer was a just and wise spirit: henceforward it is settled, the book is perfect; as love of the hero corrupts into worship of his statue. Instantly, the book becomes noxious: the guide is a tyrant."
