Ursula Aurich, China im Spiegel der deutschen Literatur des l8. Jahrhunderts 多承前人，殊尟創獲，敘述亦不簡要。未道 G.-Ch. Lichtenberg: “Von den Kriegs- und
Fast-Schulen der Schinesen” (1796) (Vermischte
Schriften, VI, S. 92-110) 一妙文，尤疏漏。
S. 45 引 Zachariä, Renomist 詠當時飲茶與飲咖啡者之爭 (Der Wettstreit zwischen dem spiessbürgerlich gewordenen Kaffee und dem
modernen Tee)，可補 Disraeli, Curiosities
of Literature, II, pp. 317-326: “Introduction of Tea, Coffee, & Chocolate”
所未備。“Die Stutzer dieser Stadt sind meist von dir [Kaffee]
getrennt, / Indem ihr Wankelmuth den Tee als Gott erkennt. / Und hat die Mode
nicht die Neuerung ersonnen, / Und die Galanterie den Tee nicht liebgewonnen?” 按 Patin
論茶云：“l’impertinente nouveauté du siècle”；Mme
de Sévigné 論咖啡云：“La mode d'aimerRacine passera comme le cafe” (Voltaire,
Irene, preface). 合而觀之，可以徵世變矣。
J.W.L. Gleim[2]:
“Den braunen Trank der Türken trink ich des Nachmittages / Zur Ehre der
Brünetten. Den weissen Trank der Serer, / Den Tee trink ich des Morgens zur
Ehre der Blondinen” (S. 45). 按可與 Dorat: “J’ai toujours soif, j’aime sans fin / Rouge
et blanc, brune et blonde; / Je voudrais boire tout le vin / Et baiser tout le
monde!” 參觀。

Herder: “Von der Bildhauerkunst fürs Gefühl”: “Ein kleiner Fuss, der sich kaum zeigt,
lässt raten; eine enge Taille lässt raten... Woher
der kleine Fuss? Weil eine chinesische, gothische, christliche Zucht die Kleider
bis zur Erde hängen last, muss sich etwas Kleines zeigen!” 按可為 Sir John Suckling:
“A Ballad upon a Wedding”: “Her feet beneath her petticoat, / Like little mice,
stole in and out, / As if they feared the light.” 注腳，但非吾國之金蓮也。【Albert Samain, Carnets intimes:
“Il y a des petits pieds fins et malicieux qui, passant leure pointe sous la
robe , ont positivement l’air de vous raconteur un tas de choses” (La Petite Illustration, 12 août 1939, p.
2 de la couverture). 參觀 Nicholas Nickleby, ch. 28: “Lady Flabella, inserting her mouse-like
feet in the blue satin slippers.”】L.A. Unzer (“Vou-ti bey Tsin-nas Grabe”: “wie
geschmeidig war ihr kleiner Fuss!”, Aurich, S. 165) 與
Goethe (“Die Lieblichste”: “Auf Wasserlilien hüpftest du / Wohl hin den bunten
Teich; / Dein winziger Fuss, dein zarter Schuh / Sind selbst der Lilie gleich”;
cf. Elizabeth Selden, China in German
Poetry from 1773 to 1833, p. 194 on Goethe’s derivation from P.P. Thomas, Chinese Courtship on “golden lilies”) 皆津津樂道中國婦人之纖足。Goethe, Die Wahlverwandtschaften,
Erster Theil, XItes Kap. 中 Der Graf 稱 Charlotte 足美云：“Ein schöner Fuss ist eine grosse Gabe der Natur. Diese Anmut ist
unverwüstlich... noch immer möchte man ihren Schuh küssen, und die zwar etwas barbarische,
aber doch tief gefühlte Ehrenbezeugung der Sarmaten wiederholen, die sich
nichts Besseres kennen, als aus dem Schuh einer geliebten und verehrten Person
ihre Gesundheit zu trinken” (Werke,
hrsg. Karl Alt, VIII, S. 66). 幾類中國之「鞋杯」，亦見其與 Restif
de la Bretonne 有同好也。Heine, Die
Bäder von Lucca, §V 寫 Francesca 纖足亦云：“weissen, blühenden Lilienfuss”，疑即本之 Goethe，又 Die romantische Schule, III, 1: “eine Prinzessin, deren Füsschen noch
kleiner waren als die der übrigen Chinesinnen”。後來 Gautier: “Chinoiserie,”
“Fortunio”，幾於《方氏五種》之癖矣。參觀第五十五則。【James Beattie, Essay
on Laughter & Ludicrous Composition, p. 667: “The foot of a Chinese
beauty is whiter, no doubt, & prettier, than that of a Scotch highlander; yet
I would advise those who are curious to know the parts & proportions of
that limb, to contemplate the clown rather than the lady” (S.M. Tave, The Amiable Humorist, p. 82).】
S. 56 引
Goethe: “Doch was fördert es mich, dass auch sogar der Chinese Malet mit
ängstlicher Hand Werthern und Lotten auf Glas?” 按此見 Venetianische Epigramm, xxxiv。據 Wm Rose, Men,
Myths, & Movements in German Literature, p. 144: “Even the Chinese
painted the unhappy love-story of Werther & Charlotte on glass. A porcelain
breakfast service, decorated with Werther scenes, is now in the Victoria &
Albert Museum in London.” 余未之見也。Elizabeth Selden, China in German Poetry from 1773 to 1833, p. 290 引 von Leonhardi
語謂一七九九年登東印度人輪船 (Kauffahrer aus Ostindien): “In des Kapitäns
Kajüte fand ich mehrere chinesische Gemälde, Werthers Leiden vorstellend”。Heine,
Geständnisse: “Wenn mein Kollege
Wolfgang Goethe wohlgefällig davon singt, ‘dass der Chinese mit zitternder Hand
Werthern und Lotten auf Glas male’, so kann ich... dem chinesischen Ruhm einen
noch weit fabelhaftern, nämlich einen japanischen entgegensetzen” (Sämtliche Werke, hrsg. von Oskar Walzer,
Bd. X, S. 205). 正指此詩。
以
Goethe 之才，而迻譯漢詩限於 P.P. Thomas 所譯底下俗書，如《百美新詠》(S. 99 et seq. 論 “Die
Lieblichste”) 及《花箋記》(S. 150 et
seq. 論 “Chinesisch-deutsche
Jahres-und Tageszeiten”)，雖曰點鐵成金，亦不免如刻脂鏤氷矣（《百美新詠圖》，顏希源作，《隨園詩話補遺》卷五及之）。令人惜恨！Mérimée, Lettres
à une inconnue, nov. 1, 1860 深鄙《花箋記》中篇什，有云：“Dans tous ces quatrains, il n’est question que d’hirondelles
blanches et de lotus bleus; Il est impossible de trouver quelque chose de plus
baroque et de plus dépourvu de passion” etc. (見 W.L.
Schwartz, The Imaginative Interpretation
of the Far East in Modern French Literature, p. 21 引)，識力高於 Goethe多多許。Aurich 尤推 Goethe 所譯第八首 (“Dämmerung senkte sich von oben, / Schon ist alle
Nähe fern” u.s.w.)，以為：“Diese Strophen bilden den Höhepunkt des ganzen
Zyklus. Goethes ‘Über allen Gipfeln ist Ruh’ löst wohl in zusammengedrängtere
Form die gleiche Stimmung aus” (S. 155). 則尚有見。O. Münsterberg, Chinesische
Kunstgeschichte, Bd. I, S. 222: “Goethes ‘Über allen Gipfeln ist Ruh’ und
Heines Lied von ‘Fichtenbaum und der Palme’ entsprechen jener lyrischen
Stimmung, die fast dreitausend jahre vorher in China begonnen... war.” R.C. Trevelyan,
Windfalls, p. 119: “There are poems
of Goethe & Heine that might have been written by a Chinaman. Our own Hardy
too has a Chinese side to him, though he is usually too dramatic & not
exquisite enough. Shelley’s song — ‘A widow bird sat mourning for her love’
etc. — might almost have been composed in 9th-century China if it
were not emotionally dominated by its first line.” 然而自運之什，簡遠超妙，略具漢詩神韻，較之依傍《花箋記》者，界判仙凡矣。
又按 Goethe 與
Eckermann 論中國小說因曰：“Nationalliteratur will jetzt nicht viel sagen, die
Epoche der Weltliteratur ist an der Zeit, und jeder muss dazu wirken, sie zu
beschleunigen” (Gespräche, Jan. 31,
1827; Selden, p. 193). 而 Rückert
因譯《詩經》而曰：“Mög’ euch die schmeichelnde Gewöhnung / Befreunden
auch mit fremder Tönung, / Das ihr erkennt: Weltpoesie / Allein ist
Weltversöhnung” (“Die Geister der Lieder”; Selden, p. 263). 則是後來 Brunetière 所謂 “Littérature
générale,” “littérature international” 之說，造端於西方之治吾國文學也。此意未見有人拈出。

G.K. Chesterton, Autobiography 不能敘事，每以議論亂之，咬文嚼字，為翻案鑿空，殊苦葛籐煙瘴。Edward
Anthony 詩 “Paradoxygen”
所嘲 “the
shallowness of the profound” (見 Maisie
Ward, G.K. Chesterton, p. 569) 是也。
P. 32: “All my life I have loved
frames & limits; & I will maintain that the largest wilderness looks
even larger seen through a window.” 按 Baudelaire: “Avez-vous observé qu’un morceau de
ciel aperçu par un soupirail, ou entre deux cheminées, deux rochers, ou par une
arcade, donnait une idée plus profonde de l’infini que le grand panorama vu du
haut d’une montagne?” (Lettres: 1841-1866,
“Mercure de France”, 1917, p. 238, 見 Henri
Peyre, Le Classicisme francais, p. 98
引); Maurice Betz: “Un trou d’obus. / Dans son eau. /
A gardé tout le ciel” (W.L. Schwartz, The
Imaginative Interpretation of the Far East in Modern French Literature, p.
211 引).
P. 32: “When Browning says that he likes
to know a butcher paints & a baker writes poetry, he would not be satisfied
with the statement that a butcher plays tennis or a baker golf.” 按 Marx,
German Ideology: “We should look
forward to the time when there will be no mere
painters, but men who, among other things, also paint. Each man will practise
his occupation without being completely absorbed in & identified with his
work.”
P. 99: “I will not say that I wrote a book on Browning; but I wrote a
book on love, liberty, poetry, etc.... in which the name of Browning was
introduced from time to time” etc. 按此書記事，舛謬百出，為人所糾議，見 Maisie
Ward 書 p. 179，故 Chesterton 遁詞解嘲（其語仿 Carlyle 嘲 Masson，見第四百十八則）。André Gide, Journal,
11 octobre 1918: “Une etude de Browning par Chesterton. Quelques remarques très
perspicaces, voyées dans un flot de dialectique... Un grand nombre de ses
paragraphes commencent sur ce ton: ‘This is a truth little understood in our
time...,’ou ‘none of the students of Browning seems to have noticed...,’
phrases par quoi il semble vouloir donner de la rareté à, parfois, la plus
banale des remarques. Je ne puis supporter ce bluff” (“Bibliothèque de la
Pléiade”, p. 657). 評語甚的，而尟稱引者。
P. 100: “I once had the honour of
constituting the whole of Prof. Ker’s audience.” 按 E. Denison
Ross, Both Ends of the Candle, p. 39:
“On arriving at the College de France, I tremblingly inquired where M. Renan was
lecturing, & if I should be admitted. The concierge, pointing to a door,
told me to go in, assuring me that ‘Tout le monde peut assisté il y a déjà un
monsieur!’ Renan lectured to two students.” 大師座下，寂寥乃爾（又見第百五十五則眉[4]）。【［補百五十七則］P. 100 參觀 R.W. Chambers, Man’s
Unconquerable Mind, p. 389: “At the dinner when, upon his retirement, he
was the quest of his old students & friends, Ker reminded G.K. of a lecture
Pope delivered at University College to a single but ample student.” P. 283 按 Man’s Unconquerable Mind, pp. 280-1: “Cambridge has seen many strange
sights. It has seen W. drunk & P. sober. It is now destined to see a better
scholar than W. & a better poet than P., betwixt & between.”】
Pp. 185-6: “I remember when it was announced
that Bohemia was to cease to exist, at the very moment when it came into
existence. It was to be called Czechoslovakia, & I went about asking people
in Fleet Street whether this change was to be applied to the metaphorical
Bohemia of our own youth. When the wild son disturbed the respectable
household, was it to be said, ‘I wish Tom would get out of his Czechoslovakian
ways’ etc.” 按參觀 Osbert
Sitwell, Sing High! Sing Low!, pp.
94-7: “A worthless book can achieve more ill than a good book can ever achieve
good. La Bohème must have sullied
Bohemia even more than Carmen tainted the idea of Spain. The name became an
reproach equally to the genuine artist, to the Bohemian by nationality & to
the Gypsy... When Bohemia recovered its independence... the provisional
government very naturally shied at the implication of the word ‘Bohemia” &
coined the word ‘Czechoslovakia.’” 又第六百六十八則。
Pp. 223-4: “I think Wells thought
the object of opening the mind is simply opening the mind. Whereas I am
incurably convinced that the object of opening the mind, as of opening the
mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.” 按參觀 F.H.
Bradley, Aphorisms, §59: “‘His mind
is open.’ Yes, it is so open that nothing is retained. Ideas simply pass
through them.” Samuel Butler: “An open mind is all very well in its way, but it
ought not to be so open that there is no keeping anything in or out of it. It
should be capable of shutting its doors sometimes, or it may be found a little
drafty” (W.H. Auden & L. Kronenberger, The
Faber Book of Aphorisms, p. 354).
P. 283 記 A.E.
Housman 云：“This great College, of this ancient University,
has seen some strange sights. It has seen Wordsworth drunk & Porson sober.
And here am I, a better poet than Porson & a better scholar than Wordsworth,
betwixt & between.” 按 Laurence Housman, The Unexpected Years, p. 365: “Prof. R.W. Chambers told me of how
on one occasion at a dinner where speeches were not expected, but where the
wine had been good, A.E. rose slowly to
his feet &,
to the amazement of all, began speaking: ‘There were two things it was very
difficult to meet in Cambridge a hundred and twenty years ago; the one was Wordsworth
drunk, the other was Porson sober. I am a better scholar than Wordsworth; I am
a better poet than Porson. Here I stand, half-way between Wordsworth & Porson.”
較可徵信。Laurence Housman, A.E.H., p. 101 又記此語，字句小異。J.H. Shorthouse: “In all probability, ‘Wordsworth’s
standard of intoxication was miserably low’” (Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 2nd ed., p. 501).

Letters & Private Papers of W.M. Thackeray, ed. by Gordon N. Ray.
Letter 19 (vol. I, p. 63), Letter 26 (vol. I, p. 85) 兩函中，“snob” 一字，皆指 Townsman 言，以別於 Gownsman 也。Letter 79 (vol. I, p. 273): “She is a snob of the
first water, she puts rouge on her cheeks” etc. 則涵意漸廣矣。至後來 “He
who meanly admires mean things is a snob.” (Works,
VI, p. 311)，本義盡失。此字演變之迹，略與 Philistine 一字同 (參觀 Modern Language Review, Jan. 1938)。特以
Thackeray 一人之筆為轉移，斯其異耳。[6]
Letter 20 (vol. I, p. 67): “An
Oxonian addressed the waiter: ‘Fellow — Do you sell appetite at this inn? ’” 按參觀 Spence’s “Anecdotes”, A selection by John Underhill, p. 189: “There was
a Lord Russell who, by living too luxuriously, had quite spoiled his constitution.
He did not love sport, hut used to go out with his dogs every day, only to hunt
for an appetite... It was he who, when he met a beggar, & was entreated by
him to give him something because he was almost famished with hunger, called
him ‘a happy dog !’ & envied him too much to relieve him”; Johnson, Rasselas, ch. 3 (ed. G.B. Hill, p. 44): “The
Prince: ‘That I want nothing, or I know not what I want, is the cause of my
complaint... I have already enjoyed too much; give me something to desire’”; Journal des Goncourt, Février 1859 (Éd. definitive,
T. I, p. 210): “Au café Riche, un vieillard était à côté de moi. Le garçon,
après avoir énuméré tous les plats lui demanda ce qu’il désirait: ‘je
désirerais, dit le vieillard, je désirerais... avoir un désir.’ C’était la
vieillesse, ce vieillard”; Capponi: “Ho fame di versi, cioè desiderio del
desiderio” (Croce, La Poesia, p. 336);
Rückert: “Mein einziger Wunsch ist meiner Wünsche Ruh.” Gathered Leaves from the Prose of Mary Coleridge, p. 257: “[A
propos of Dichtung und Wahrheit]: He’s
always saying, once I was young, & I did this — and then he gives an old
man’s reason for it.” 可參觀。若夫 Leopardi, I
Canti, XXXIII: Il Tramonto della Luna:
“La vecchiezza, ove fosse / Incolume il desio, la speme estinta” (Poems, ed. G.L. Bickersteth, p. 336) 註者云：“Cp. Pensiero, no. vi: ‘La vecchiezza è male sommo: perché libera l’uomo
di tutti i piaceri, lasciandogliene gli appetiti; e porta seco tutti i dolori’ —
a thought the exact contrary to that expressed by Plato (quoting Sophocles), Repub., 329, c. 5. Old age, as conceived
by L., corresponds with Dante’s Limbo: ‘Senza speme vivemo in disio’ (Inf., IV, 42) & recalls Petrarch’s
sonnet S’amor novo consiglio, l. 4: ‘che
’l desir vive e la speranza e morta’” (p. 483). 蓋由若人貌寢體弱，未老已翁，終其身不得暢所欲，故云之耳（參觀第六百六則論 Maugham, A
Writer’s Notebook, p. 282）。惜漏引 Bruno,

vouloir, une âme qui regarde la lutte des deux autres et en rédige l’iliade.”【La
Nouvelle Héloïse, éd. Daniel Mornet, pp. 7-8: “[Mme de Wolmar]
“Je suis trop heureuse; le bonheur m’ennuie. Malheur à qui n’a plus à desirer.”】
Diary (vol. I, p. 213): “Reading Wilhelm
Meister, & a wretched performance I thought it — without principle &
certainly without interest.” 按 Samuel Butler: “Wilhelm Meister... seems perhaps the very worst I ever read. I
cannot remember a single good page or idea, & the priggishness of W is the
finest of its kind that I can recall to mind” (H.F. Jones, Samuel Butler, I, p. 216). 皆不隨聲附和者也。【[Francis Jeffrey called Wilhelm
Meister “absurd, puerile, incongruous & affected.] H.W. Thompson, A Scottish Man of Feeling, pp. 350-1: “I
dislike kicking an author with 4 adjectives when he has been laid flat by one.
Yet I think that the adjectives are judiciously selected.”】
Letter 69 (vol. I, p. 253): “The
Frenchmen are very anxious to know what a dandy means — a fellow asked me &
I pointed him out a rakish Englishman of the name of Clive.” 按至
Baudelaire, Curiosités Esthétiques: “Le
Peintre de la Vie Moderne”: 9. “Le Dandy” 及 Barbey d’Aurevilly,
Du dandyisme，此字遂為法人所熟知矣。

books I have ever read”; George Orwell, Critical
Essays, p. 111: “There is a great deal of good bad poetry in English”; Shooting an Elephant, p. 174: “What
