[T]he long sentences piling themselves up in elaborate phrase after phrase, the lightning incision, the pauses, the slightly shaking admonitory gesture with its ‘wu-await a little, wait a little, something will come’; blague and benignity and the weight of so many years’ careful, incessant labour of minute observation always there to enrich the talk. I had heard it but seldom, yet it is all unforgettable. […] No man who has not lived on both sides of the Atlantic can well appraise Henry James; his death marks the end of a period. [Ezra Pound, from “Henry James,” Little Review, August 1918]
“长句子堆积着复杂的短语,闪电般的切入,停顿,略微颤抖的劝告手势,带着‘等一等,等一等,会有事情发生’的意味; 玩笑和仁慈,以及多年来对微小观察的仔细、不懈的劳动所带来的厚重感,总是丰富着谈话。我很少听到过这样的谈话,但它是永远难忘的。[...] 没有在大西洋两岸生活过的人很难评价亨利·詹姆斯; 他的去世标志着一个时代的结束。” [埃兹拉·庞德,《小评论》(Little Review),1918年8月]
