The Moon and Sixpence

《月亮和六便士》

Commentary书评：

The devil always quotes Scripture to his purpose while true pilgrim never,but always be obsessed and tortured by the divine nostalgia.

恶魔要干坏事，总要引用《圣经》；真正的朝圣者才会被一直被魂牵梦萦的圣地折磨、困扰。

Splendid Paragraph精彩片段摘录:

1. I do not speak of that greatness which is achieved by the fortunate politician or the successful soldier; that is a quality which belongs to the place he occupies rather than to the man; and a change of circumstance reduces it to very discreet proportions.

我所说的伟大，并非官运亨通的政客或者立功受奖的军人所赢得的那种伟大，因为这些人的伟大只关乎他们的地位，而无涉个人的品性。一旦时过境迁，他们身上的光环就褪去了。

2.There is no last word.

世上并无终极箴言。

3.These gallant words which seem so novel to those that speak them were said in accents scarcely changed a hundred times before. The pendulum swings backwards and forwards. The circle is ever travelled new.

那些说豪言壮语的人以为他们的话很新颖，可实际上这些话前人已说过百遍，连腔调都几乎没有变换。钟摆来回摇摆，这一循环永不停歇。
