拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生：随笔·摘录 18

This idea has inspired the genius of Goldsmith,[82] Burns,[83] Cowper,[84] and, in a newer time, of Goethe,[85] Wordsworth,[86] and Carlyle.[87] This idea they have differently followed and with various success. In contrast with their writing, the style of Pope,[88] of Johnson,[89] of Gibbon,[90] looks cold and pedantic. This writing is blood-warm. Man is surprised to find that things near are not less beautiful and wondrous than things remote. The near explains the far. The drop is a small ocean. A man is related to all nature. This perception of the worth of the vulgar is fruitful in discoveries. Goethe, in this very thing the most modern of the moderns, has shown us, as none ever did, the genius of the ancients.

白话
爱默生说，这种重视日常、贴近生活的观念启发了哥尔德斯密斯、彭斯、柯珀，后来还有歌德、华兹华斯、卡莱尔。他们各自追随，成败不一。相比之下，蒲柏、约翰逊、吉本的文章显得冷冰冰、掉书袋；而这一路写作是“血温的”。人惊讶地发现，近处的东西并不比远方的东西少美少奇：近处解释远方，一滴水就是一个小海洋，人与整个自然相连。看重平凡事物能带来许多发现。歌德最现代，却也因此最懂古人的天才。
