Seven Discourses on Artby Sir Joshua ReynoldsINTRODUCTIONIt is a happy memory that associates the foundation of our Royal Academy with the delivery of these inaugural discourses by Sir Joshua Reynolds, on the opening of the schools, and at the first annual meetings for the distribution of its prizes. They laid down principles of art from the point of view of a man of genius who had made his power felt, and with the clear good sense which is the foundation of all work that looks upward and may hope to live. The truths here expressed concerning Art may, with slight adjustment of the way of thought, be applied to Literature or to any exercise of the best powers of mind for shaping the delights that raise us to the larger sense of life. In his separation of the ut...

John Bull on the Guadalquivirby Anthony TrollopeI am an Englishman, living, as all Englishman should do, in England,and my wife would not, I think, be well pleased were any one toinsinuate that she were other than an Englishwoman; but in thecircumstances of my marriage I became connected with the south ofSpain, and the narrative which I am to tell requires that I shouldrefer to some of those details.The Pomfrets and Daguilars have long been in trade together in thiscountry, and one of the partners has usually resided at Seville forthe sake of the works which the firm there possesses. My father,James Pomfret, lived there for ten years before his marriage; andsince that and up to the present period, old Mr. Daguilar has always...

说到香龙木，就不得不说到我的魔法渊源，说到我的魔法渊源，就不得不说到我的故乡—穆柯寨……我叫穆桂英，是大宋朝百万大军的北方元帅。不过，即使官儿已经做到了武将阶序的尽头，我还是习惯亲近的人叫我穆小妹。十七岁那一年，我遇到了命中注定的那个少年杨小保；二十七岁那一年，我生下了我和小保的小女儿金花；现在，我们的小女儿金花十七岁了，她准备把自己嫁给一个成衣匠。坐在轩敞简朴的营房中，朔北的凉风把金花从遥远的汴京寄来的洒金信笺吹得沙沙作响，洒金信笺散发出淡淡的梨花粉香，正如那个我已经多年没有回去过的都城留给我的富贵温暖的印象。我拿着金花的来信发了很长时间的呆。自从很久很久以前小保离去之后，我就选择了回到疆场继续守望边塞的战争生活。在别人看来，我完全可以有其他的选择，比如重新回到穆柯寨，继续做个山寨的寨主，或者重新回到黎山，去完成我当年成为世上最出色的魔法师的梦想。可是，只有我...
，，主编的话-别人怎么看你别太在意国内历史最悠久的博客，「白板报」的作者王佩也来简书写作了，而且一连更新好几篇耐读的文章，我看得十分过瘾。在此之前，简书曾经对王佩作过一次采访，收录在本期杂志里。访谈中，王佩谈了自己对于博客以及媒体的看法，我同意他的多数观点，但觉得他对于微信的重要性有些高估。在我看来，微信的页面在美学方面是一种倒退，内容提供者不得不使用与整个互联网世界脱节的平台做出不太美观的页面，而且，这样产生出来的内容，既不便于分享到微信外面的世界，又不便于搜索，我个人不大相信这种简陋的页面会在未来大行其道。没过几天，王佩又写了篇「无人会 登临意」（未收入本期杂志，请至简书网阅读），坦言在微信平台上写作，没有任何乐趣可言，今后要回归blog写作。此语一出，又在twitter上引来一片吐槽，你前几天不是还在大力鼓吹微信的重要性吗？...

《无限恐怖之雨夜独行》作者：黄天律·调教师第一章 我现在的名字是乔纳森·格蒂曼，为军方工作已经有十年。职业是科学家。为什么说是「现在的名字」？因为我是个穿越者。目前的身体虽然已经超过五十岁，但是在这个科技发达的年代，人类寿命被大大延长，我应该只算是刚刚进入壮年。穿越后的我融合了这个身体的全部记忆。开始的时候我以为来到了未来世界，但是随着安全级别的提升，我从军方那里了解到了一些内幕。目前的军部正在策划克隆一名两百年多前的人物，艾伦·蕾普莉。刚刚接触这个名字的时候我并没有在意，但是『伟伦优达尼公司』引起了我的兴趣。在详细了解了她的资料后，我赫然发现她竟是异形四部曲的女主角。同时，我回忆起了「我」的身份——异形四中七名科学家中的一员。我震惊的表情并没有让其他人过于在意，因为我未来六名同事知道了真相后的反映也和我如出一辙。原电影中的情节我还记得清清楚楚，那么如何自保估计...

But whenpersons reside in a place and get used to it, they can always findsomething beautiful in it,- something for which they long, even in themost charming spot in the world which is not home. It must be ownedthat there are in the outskirts of the town some humble gardens on thebanks of a little stream that runs on towards the sea, and in summer...
七、远行 他发现，家里发生了很大的变化。远在西部居住的亲戚们说：伊利诺伊那儿才是真正的天堂，那里土地肥沃，如果有人想发财，到那儿去准行。或许为了能够通过结成更大的集体以改善自己的处境他们有些夸大其辞了；但有一点是肯定的，那就是印第安纳许多失望的殖民者相信了他们的话，因为一下子就有三家打点行装，踏上了通往迪凯特地区的道路。 父亲托马斯。林肯在那边有亲戚，而且他又总是不停地在寻找着发财致富的机会，不停地追寻着带来好运的时机。像他那种不安分又好奇的性格，对这里乡村发展速度之慢早就感到很窝火了，所以，他根本不去听村里人对这种西部热发出的警告，毅然以一百二十五美元的价格变卖掉了田产，而他的妻子也把她前夫的田产以一百二十三美元的价格卖掉，整理好所有的家当整装出发了，就如同十几年前他们离开肯塔基州时一样。只不过现在，这个家庭是两大四小六口人。而且他们要带走的东...
The Scouts of the Valleyby Joseph A. AltshelerCHAPTER ITHE LONE CANOEA light canoe of bark, containing a single human figure, moved swiftly up one of the twin streams that form the Ohio. The water, clear and deep, coming through rocky soil, babbled gently at the edges, where it lapped the land, but in the center the full current flowed steadily and without noise.The thin shadows of early dusk were falling, casting a pallid tint over the world, a tint touched here and there with living fire from the sun, which was gone, though leaving burning embers behind. One glowing shaft, piercing straight through the heavy forest that clothed either bank, fell directly upon the figure in the boat, as a hidden light illuminates a great picture, while the rest is left in shad...
FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE SNOW MANby Hans Christian Andersen"IT is so delightfully cold," said the Snow Man, "that it makes mywhole body crackle. This is just the kind of wind to blow life intoone. How that great red thing up there is staring at me!" He meant thesun, who was just setting. "It shall not make me wink. I shallmanage to keep the pieces."He had two triangular pieces of tile in his head, instead of eyes;his mouth was made of an old broken rake, and was, of course,furnished with teeth. He had been brought into existence amidst thejoyous shouts of boys, the jingling of sleigh-bells, and theslashing of whips. The sun went down, and the full moon rose, large,...
