拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生:随笔·摘录 6
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 认知 · 健康 · 财富 · 哲学
The theory of books is noble. The scholar of the first age received into him the world around; brooded thereon; gave it the new arrangement of his own mind, and uttered it again. It came into him life; it went out from him truth. It came to him short-lived actions; it went out from him immortal thoughts. It came to him business; it went from him poetry. It was dead fact; now, it is quick thought. It can stand, and it can go. It now endures, it now flies, it now inspires.[15] Precisely in proportion to the depth of mind from which it issued, so high does it soar, so long does it sing.

白话
爱默生说,关于书的理想很崇高。最早期的学者把周围世界吸收进心里,反复思考,用自己的心智重新安排,再表达出来。世界进入他时是生活,出来时成了真理;进入时是短暂的行为,出来时是不朽的思想;进入时是事务,出来时是诗;进入时是死的事实,出来时是活的思想。书能站立、能行走、能持久、能飞翔、能启发人。它飞得多高、唱得多久,完全取决于它出自多深的心灵。核心是:好书是生活转化为真理的产物,深度决定价值。做法是:读书时追问它来自多深的心灵。
