What matters here are the works - finally without them his life would be uninteresting. What matters, that is, are the astonishing things that he left behind. If we can get the life in relation to the works, then it can take off.

  • -- Stephen Greenblatt 格林布拉特

这里重要的是他的作品——没有它们,他的生活最终会变得索然无味。重要的是,他留下了一些惊人的东西。如果我们能把生活与作品联系起来,那么它就能起飞。
