一本真正的巨著应该在青年时期读一遍，在成年和老年再各重读一遍，恰如精美的建筑应该在晨光中，在正午的阳光和月光下都赏玩一番。罗伯森·戴维斯Literatureaddstoreality,itdoesnotsimplydescribeit.Itenrichesthenecessarycompetenciesthatdailyliferequiresandprovides;andinthisrespect,itirrigatesthedesertsthatourliveshavealreadybecome.C.S.Lewis文学补益现实，而不仅仅单纯描绘现实。它丰富了我们应对日常俗务的能力，在这方面，它灌溉滋润了我们已经沦为沙漠的生活。C.S.路易斯Part1:FamousQuotesLiteraturealwaysanticipateslife.Itdoesnotcopyit,butmouldsittoitspurpose.Thenineteenthcentury,asweknowit,islargelyaninventionofBalzac.

文学总是对生活做出预期，它并不照搬生活，而是按照自己的目的塑造生活。正如我们所知，十九世纪在很大程度上是巴尔扎克的发明。

(Difficulty★★★)【背景知识】音频中的小诗是曾经四次获得普利策文学奖(ThePulitzerprizeinliterature)的美国著名诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特（RobertFrost,1874——1963）的知名作品。在创作风格和技巧方面，弗罗斯特可谓独一无二，卓尔不群，其生活兼跨19和20世纪，他一方面将19世纪美国文学传统几乎发挥到了极致，另一方面却与20世纪的意象派诗人颇多共鸣。在写作内容上，弗罗斯特诗作中颇多涉及田园景象，也因此常常被与艾米莉·狄金森（EmilyDickinson）和拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生（RalphWaldoEmerson）相提并论。他的诗晓畅易懂却隽永深刻，看似简单的人、物或事在他笔下往往呈现出神秘色彩和重大意义，学过这首诗读者便会对此深有体会。Vocabularydiverge
