For, though shy, he did not seem reserved; it had rather the appearance of feelings glad to burst their usual restraints; and having talked of poetry, the richness of the present age, and gone through a brief comparison of opinion as to the first-rate poets, trying to ascertain whether Marmion or The Lady of the Lake were to be preferred, and how ranked the Giaour and The Bride of Abydos; and moreover, how the Giaour was to be pronounced, he showed himself so intimately acquainted with all the tenderest songs of the one poet, and all the impassioned descriptions of hopeless agony of the other; he repeated, with such tremulous feeling, the various lines which imaged a broken heart, or a mind destroyed by wretchedness, and looked so entirely as if he meant to be understood, that she ventured to hope he did not always read only poetry, and to say, that she thought it was the misfortune of poetry to be seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoyed it completely; and that the strong feelings which alone could estimate it truly were the very feelings which ought to taste it but sparingly.

A beautiful little book that reminds me of 20 years ago, when I was still in China, I bought a copy of Zweig's The Heterodox Right at the used book market in my hometown Chengdu - at that time, I thought I was the happiest writer in the world; and at this moment, I think I'm the happiest Chinese-language writer in the world who owns "The Heterodox Right"!
但是，他們不會成功。這個必須分裂的帝國不會成功。無論是普京還是習近平，都不會成功。猶如列寧、希特勒、史達林、毛澤東、鄧小平不會成功一樣。是的，在一次接一次的獨裁病毒所造成的浩劫中，無數的人無辜地慘死，但是，我們對於罪惡的文字和影像的記載，會讓他們活著
But they will not succeed. This empire, which must be fragmented, will not succeed. Neither Putin nor Xi Jinping will succeed. Just as Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping could not succeed. Yes, in the catastrophes, one after another, caused by the virus of dictatorship, countless innocent people die tragically, yet our records in words and images of the dictatorship’s evil will let them live on… -
會讓天空和大地一樣遼闊的無名死者，作為罪惡的見證人而永遠活著
…. let the nameless dead, whose sky is as vast as the earth, live forever as witnesses to evil.
