名人推薦

It is beautiful, admirable, extraordinary; it has in the highest degree that merit which I have spoken of as the mark of Hawthorne's best things-an indefinable purity and lightness of conception....One can often return to it; it supports familiarity and has the inexhaustible charm and mystery of great works of art.
——Henry James
