Once upon a time, in the classroom and examination room, with all kinds of mature techniques, I produced propositional compositions, but privately insisted on writing my own secondary two style essays, those who did their best to pile up gorgeous words and consider the use of various words and phrases of the stream of consciousness.
Therefore, no matter what the purpose, the accumulation of famous quotes is a kind of just need.
I actually enjoy it more than the task, and the beautiful words that other people have created, the words that make me fall in love at first sight, are really spiritual.
At that time, Oscar Wilde was the author I liked very much, even if I watched it, it was always his words.
But often it is a sentence, and it can also poke yourself in four or two strokes.
The power of conciseness and conciseness is the most shocking and charming.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
This is the first quote I remember him.
Later, I had a period of time, because of various things, interrupted reading classics, indulging in short and fast novels and online literature.
After regaining the habit of reading, in order to get out of the comfort zone, quickly establish a broad and comprehensive knowledge system, choose social science, cross-industry introductory science, and more. Literature and art, literature category deliberately reduced.
So, when I opened the book "From deep down", I realized that this was the first time in more than ten years that I had read a whole book about Wilde.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" >01 those inadvertent flashpoints</h1>
In 1895, the 41-year-old Wilde was already famous in Britain, the limelight, because of his relationship with his friend Posey was sued by Posey's father, in prison, Wilde wrote this "Letter from the Abyss", monologue text revealed his feelings with Posey, hatred mixed with love and tenderness.
The book also records the views of this aesthetic spokesperson on beauty, art, and life. Five years later, Wilde died, so with this book", it became his last masterpiece in the world.
The first time I read the whole wilde text, it was still in a beautiful way, full of philosophy and strength.
His fate of "above friendship", which is not understood by the world and still arouses everyone's speculation and reverie, is really moving in his pen.
He will reveal his own emotional outlook between the lines:
Ultimately, all interpersonal bonds, whether marriage or friendship, are conversations, and conversation must have a common foundation. If the cultures of the two sides are very different, the only possible common ground can be based on the lowest level. The trivialities of thought and behavior are flattering.
I thought of a phrase that was once widely circulated:
In a person's life, it is not strange to encounter love and sex, and the most rare thing is to encounter understanding.
Similarly, I have not deliberately supported or denounced a different life choice.
Because I think it has to do with age, gender, culture, and background, but the most critical, the most rare, is the understanding and true affection.
It was only in Wilde's time that these were even unspeakable, unforgivable sins.
He described his emotions and emotions in detail: thinking of you, the corners of his mouth rose, and the world smiled in return.
I will also write to you all year round, hoping that even a few words, or even just silent echoes of love, may reach you.
There have also been tangled pains:
I am writing this letter not to make you resentful, but to remove the mustard from my own heart. For my own sake, I must forgive you.
One cannot always have a poisonous snake in his chest; he cannot get up at night and plant thorns in the yard of the soul.
Will begin to reflect on what love is and how to love:
Love is not traded in the market, nor is it weighed by the scales of vendors.
The joy of love, like the joy of the mind, lies in feeling one's own survival.
The purpose of love is to love, not much, not much.
I was amazed by the condensed beauty of Wilde's original English and the endless aftertaste of translating it into Chinese.
I have read many foreign literary works in the past, and the masterpieces of foreign novels that are widely popular with Chinese readers are slightly monotonous and simple from the perspective of literary style alone;
It is not necessarily the author's writing, because the beautiful poems of the literary world such as Dante and Shakespeare, although the literary style is remarkable, it is still not easy to achieve a more reductive and complete understanding and understanding.
After all, with completely different ideologies, cultural backgrounds, language characteristics, and even the level of translation and the inevitable loss and difference of information in language conversion, it is difficult to enjoy the dual mood of story and text at the same time as appreciating the Chinese writing in the mother tongue.
However, Wilde's Chinese translation, even philosophical sentences, are shallow and deep, too easy to resonate, and there is not much threshold for understanding.
This is really a precious and beautiful experience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" >02 When to read Wilde? </h1>
In fact, this question is equivalent to the meaning of reading Wilde centuries later.
Reading should not be utilitarian, it is a free pastime and relaxation out of preference.
But I still want to say that in addition to the beautiful expression of the text, his thoughts are more fascinating, so the words have a soul.
I often feel that if he can cross into modern society, he must also be a wise man with a stable mentality and a strong consciousness, and he will not suffer so much torture and criticism.
Many of his thoughts may be the "Book of Answers" that I opened and had a flash of inspiration when I was irritable.
He never broke away from ordinary life, or was self-congratulatory and condescending, but instead diligently recorded his thoughts, inspired others, and many views could read empathy and empathy - more able to understand that everyone's survival is not easy.
He has to face a lot of helplessness in reality, powerlessness, and even the pain that life cannot bear.
However, the words he wrote can always use a kind of indifferent, free, broad mentality, to accept the reality gap that cannot be changed, to obtain inner peace and stability, even if the outside world has long been stormy, still able to guard their hearts and nature.
He can face up to his negative emotions a lot of times:
God is strange. They not only punish us with our evil, but also use the goodness, kindness, compassion, and love in our hearts to destroy us.
Yes, only people with a real conscience will regret it, will reflect, and will be tortured.
In his short life, he has been trying to explore and pursue:
The first priority of life is to be as human as possible. As for what the second priority is, no one has yet discovered it.
There is only one way to make up for the occasional mistake of over-dressing, and that is to read too much forever and absolutely.
But even if he is as wise as he is, he is full of awe:
Cultured people criticize others. Wise people criticize themselves.
None of the things that really happened were insignificant.
There is nothing more evil than superficiality.
He is also a humorous and sharp satirist, a philosopher of life:
When he grew up solemnly and seriously, he became a stupid mune.
All good determination has a fatal wound: it all falls too early.
Religion dies once it proves to be true. Science is the record of various dead religions.
Evil is a myth, a charm that good people make up to say about others.
Anyone who sees the difference between spirit and flesh has neither spirit nor flesh.
Ambition is the last refuge of failure.
A truth that requires more than one person to believe is not the truth.
If it is not round, it is perfect.
One should always be a little incredible.
In this world, 95% of people are living, step by step, plain, and pursuing simple and ordinary happiness.
There are also 5% of people, they care more about their surroundings, they do their best to master knowledge, pass on ideas and values, and use their influence to make the world a better place little by little, leaving something behind.
In my mind, he is the top level of this 5%.
If I recommend a book that is lighthearted and interesting, I really recommend this book from the depths of myself.
Perhaps, there will be unexpected surprises.
