The effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought.
How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence. then the effect is to be wide. slow. permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not. they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is. to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney’s maxim: --"Look in thy heart, and write." He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, "What poetry! What genius!" it still needs fuel to make fire.
That only profits which is profitable, Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable.
选项
答案
那么计算标准是什么呢?如果一部作品发人深省,如果它以其伟大雄辩的声音令你有醍醐灌顶之感,那么该作品对人类思想的影响便是宽广、渐进、永恒的。如果它并无指导意义,则会如苍蝇般瞬息即逝。若要使言论书写的内容不被历史所淘汰,方法便是确保其真实性。我怀疑那些连我自己都说服不了的论据同样也无法令你们信服。西德尼有句名言“抒写自己的内心”。写给自己便是写给不朽的公众。哪怕只是你试图满足自己好奇心时写下的东西也适合公之于众。根据道听途说而不是自己真实想法取材的作家应该明白,他所失去的和表面上所得到的是一样多的。即使思想内容空洞的书汇集了所有的赞扬,半数人都惊叹道, “真是首好诗啊!才子啊!”,即便这样,也依旧需要反复锤炼。
