《美国文学作品选读》章节摘录[E]
But now we are a mob. Man does not stand in awe of man， nor is the soul ad- monished to stay at home， to put itself in communication with the internal ocean， but it goes abroad to beg a cup of water of the urns of men. We must go alone. Isolation must precede true society. I like the silent church before the service begins， better than any preaching. How far off， how cool， how chaste the persons look， begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary. So let us always sit. Why should we assume the faults of our friend， or wife， or father， or child， because they sit around our hearth， or are said to have the same blood? All men have my blood， and I have all mens. Not for that will I adopt their petulance or folly， even to the ex- tent of being ashamed of it. But your isolation must not be mechanical， but spiritual， that is， must be elevation. At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles. Friend， client， child， sickness， fear， want， charity， all knock at once at thy closet door and say， "Come out unto us. " ——Do not spill thy soul； do not all descend； keep thy state； stay at home in thine own heaven； come not for a moment into their facts， into their hubbub of conflicting appearances， but let in the light of thy law on their confusion. The power men possess to annoy me， I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act. "What we love that we have， but by desire we bereave our- selves of the love. "
