Fine writers do psychoanalysis
“I have often said, and oftener think, that this world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
This is a solution of why Democritus laughed and Heraclitus wept.”
Horace Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford, in a letter to his distant relative and 40-year correspondent Sir Horace Mann, 1st Baronet, New Year’s Eve, 1769.
Walpole was the author of the first Gothic horror novel, The Castle of Otranto, in 1764.

這是一本很難得的書
不過出版商沒說明許多細節
譬如說 什麼時候演講
根據講稿或錄音整理 或合用
沒有編索引
加一張隆溪撰文當附錄 (非法 又很不禮貌地)：《非我的神話》--hc案 這篇有翻譯錯誤 譬如說 logographic 翻譯成"邏輯象形式的" 這 logo 可以想成現在商業的 logo 是類似"表意圖形式"
有趣的是 引文為第357頁 第3版為376頁
我們看Radio 4 - Reith Lectures 2008: Chinese Vistas
只四講 本書卻有8講 每講還有些文本討論 所以我猜這可能是3小時的演講
此兩講稍微有從重複 譬如說 對 Goldsmith的引文 reason out等
問題是BBC的演講引文在原書中查不到
我陸續利用之
話說大才子Horace Walpole (1717-1797) 撰印Hieroglyphic Tales: (1785 日本人稱為象形文字譚 第一版在自家 Strawberry Hill的印刷場只印六份）：我千辛萬苦找到：第五則故事：TALE V. Mi Li. A Chinese Fairy Tale.
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14098/14098-h/14098-h.htm Mi Li, prince of China, was brought up by his godmother the fairy Hih, who was famous for telling fortunes with a tea-cup. From that unerring oracle she assured him, that he would be the most unhappy man alive unless he married a princess whose name was the same with her father's dominions.
除非娶一名字必須與其父的領地同名得公主，否則將是世界上最不快活的。
這故事末段很有名：
Running almost breathless up to lady Ailesbury, and seizing miss Campbell's hand—he cried, Who she? who she? Lady Ailesbury screamed, the young maiden squalled, the general, cool but offended, rushed between them, and if a prince could be collared, would have collared him—Mi Li kept fast hold with one arm, but pointing to his prize with the other, and with the most eager and supplicating looks intreating for an answer, continued to exclaim, Who she? who she? 【錢鍾書說這是這是英國人第一次讓中國人講不完全準確的英文】The general perceiving by his accent and manner that he was a foreigner, and rather tempted to laugh than be angry, replied with civil scorn, Why she is miss Caroline Campbell, daughter of lord William Campbell, his majesty's late governor of Carolina—Oh, Hih! I now recollect thy words! cried Mi Li—And so she became princess of China.

As part of the yearlong celebrations of the tercentenary of Horace Walpole’s birth, The Lewis Walpole Library and the Yale Center for British Art are collaborating to present a staged reading of Walpole’s play The Mysterious Mother (1768). Completed just a few years after his celebrated gothic novel The Castle of Otranto (1764), this underappreciated tale of incest and intrigue was initially circulated only among the author’s friends.

Capability Brown (1716-1783) ，英國"最偉大"的景觀大師、企業家。
University of Oxford
It is 300 years since the birth of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, who designed the gardens of some of England’s most beloved country houses. Dr Oliver Cox, Heritage Engagement Fellow at the University, tells us about ‘the man behind England’s green and pleasant land’.
Dr Cox, has co-curated an exhibition on 'Capability' Brown at the Bodleian Libraries' Weston Library which is open until September 4.
In this video, he explains how Oxford is celebrating the anniversary, and what we should know about ‘Capability’ Brown, and how he got his nickname. With thanks to Blenheim Palace & Capability Brown Festival 2016.
Capability Brown revolutionised gardening in Britain during the 18th century. Listen to this edition of #Membercast to learn more about his world, and the things that influenced his work.

Lancelot Brown (born c. 1715–16, baptised 30 August 1716 – 6 February 1783),[1] more commonly known with the bynameCapability Brown, was an English landscape architect. He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener". He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure. He was nicknamed "Capability" because he would tell his clients that their property had "capability" for improvement.[2]
His influence was so great that the contributions to the English garden made by his predecessors Charles Bridgeman and William Kent are often overlooked; even Kent's apologist Horace Walpole allowed that Kent had been followed by "a very able master".[3]
