Yuwen life
A remarkable selection of Spanish poems in London was selected by Stephen spender and John Lyman. One of the memorable Spanish poems was written by Auden.
That desolate rectangular country
That barren land taken from hot Africa
Roughly welded to creative Europe
Height in the river.
We want to achieve it.
Our enthusiasm is fresh and threatening our image.
He also wrote
Today is a struggle.
Today, the risk of death cannot be increased.
Today is to feel guilty in the necessary killing.

George Bagshaw Harrison Shakespeare Beginner 1
As far as I know, this concise and rich text is the best introduction to Shakespeare’s research. Maybe I don’t agree with Harrison’s view that it is more stormy than Macbeth or Hamlet, but I can’t help but thank him for his comments. Let me find a concrete example. Shakespeare has to change many scenes in one scene. This point has been accused or praised by businessmen. Anthony Cleopatra’s last scene is generally recognized as three difficult scenes to express. Each scene is when Harrison wakes people up in different parts of Alexandria to pay attention to Elizabethan dramas. There was a lack of decoration in the courtyard, and then he pointed to the 1623 drama without pointing to the location. He concluded that Shakespeare’s contemporaries did not care about the location of the incident. Strictly speaking, there was no location to change an uncertain stage. In other words, Shakespeare’s description of the incident did not always take place in an exact location. Shakespeare did not violate the unity of location. He transcended this unity or was unaware of it
When reading this book, I can’t help but be shocked by Shakespeare’s richness and variety. In addition to remembering, the problem also covers Wen Lun’s poetic heart. We Grusack once pointed out that Shakespeare returned to his village after creating wealth and died as a retired shop assistant. Perhaps it is the most extraordinary innovation to forget about himself and create peerless beauty.
Richness makes up for the blind worship of Shakespeare. On the contrary, it can be said that Cervantes Spain has become barren. Goethe Dante Shakespeare lives in a complex planet, and Cervantes is a proverb. For Spain, Kvito is more suitable than Cervantes.

William Faulkner wild palm
As far as I know, no one has written the formal history of novels or said that if a public history of this kind is assumed, the name of wilkie Collins, Robert Browning, Joseph Conrad will certainly be prominent, and of course the name of William Faulkner will be obvious. Collins created the method of telling stories by the characters in the novel, Browning narrated the long poem ring in ten times, and described a crime in detail through ten mouths and ten hearts. Conrad let two dialogues gradually guess and weave the third history, which is as famous as Jules Roman. Faulkner is one of the few personalities who pay attention to the ending of the formal characters in the novel.
In Faulkner’s temple, which represents the noise and commotion of moonlight, skills are always necessary, but in Wild Palm, his skills are attractive, not uncomfortable, not boring. This includes two parallel but contradictory stories. The first story in Wild Palm tells that a man was sent to the grave by lust, and the second story in Old Man River tells that a young man tried to rob a train. After spending a long time in prison, the Mississippi River flooded and gave him cruelty. The second story was quite wonderful, and it was always inserted into the first story for a long time.
There is no doubt that William Faulkner is the leading contemporary novelist. In line with this, I think wild palm is the last one he wants, but even this book, like Faulkner’s, also describes profound chapters, and his ability is far beyond other homes.

Oriental language tour 1
Novalis once said that mutation and mixing are the most poetic.
All-encompassing, some famous names are more attractive than the old Plinyran history, Robert Burton’s melancholy anatomy, Fraser’s golden branches and perhaps Flaubert’s St. Anton’s temptation, which is more than 300 pages long. There are also many interesting passages in China, the oldest human language, with a history of about 3 thousand years.
This is divided into seven parts, and the poetry part is perhaps the least poetic. This is not a compilation of China literature. Miss Edward would rather translate it herself than Wiley’s classic translation. I can’t agree with this practice.
Many proverbs, I’ll copy a few words here 2.
Poverty can save money.
Money is a dragon, but money is a worm.
That is, Bacher’s 1938 poem "The Seven Burdens of Pursuing Happiness"
