Men there have been who have done the essayist's part so well as to have earned an immortality in the doing; but we have had not many of them, and they make but a poor figure on our shelves. It is a pity that things should be thus with us, for a good essayist is the pleasantest companion imaginable.

  • -- William Ernest Henley 威廉姆·恩内斯特·亨里

有些人把散文家的部分写得很好，因而在这一过程中获得了不朽的成就;但是我们没有很多这样的书，它们在我们的书架上只占一个可怜的数字。遗憾的是，事情竟如此发展，因为一位优秀的散文家是你能想象到的最愉快的伴侣。
