人生必读的好书9、《大卫科波菲尔》Charles Dickens ——故事反复讨论了在情感和道德生活中获得并保有一颗有修养的心这一主题。狄更斯写道,我们必须学会去克制“不安分的心萌生的第一个错误冲动”。人生必读的好书10、《四个四重奏》TS Eliot ——这也许是近代最具智慧的诗意散文。它写于第二次世界大战期间,却仍与当今有着千丝万缕的联系。以下是一段摘录:“The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre–/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire.”
