  致以最亲切的问候
  你的朋友
  海涅
  1849年2月
  Heinrich Heine
  To
  Feb。;1849
  Dear Camille;
  Sweetest of fines mouches! —or; leaving the emblem of your seal; is it the perfume of your letter that I should call you? In that case must I say “Dearest of muskscented cats”?—I received your note the day before yesterday; its little; ‘flytracks' run constantly in my head; perhaps also even in my heart; my most hearty thanks for all the affection that you show me I; too; rejoice in the thought of seeing you so soon again; and of making a “living print” upon those sweet and Swabian features。 Ah; that phrase would have less platonic meaning were I only still a man。 But I am nothing more than a spirit; that may suit you; but me it only suits after a mediocre fashion…Yes; I rejoice in the thought of seeing you again; fine mouches of my soul! Most fascinating of musk cats! But at the same time as mild as an Angora cat; a species which I prefer。 For a long time I loved tigercats; but they are too dangerous; and the“living prints” which they sometimes left upon my face,were unpleasing。 Things are going very badly with me; nothing but a succession of vexations and fits of rage。 Fury against my condition which is desperate! Goodbye。 May the waters strengthen you and do you good。
  Most affectionate greetings
  From your friend;
  Heine

波西·比希·雪莱致伊丽莎白·西琴勒

  亲爱的伊丽莎白:
  刚才收到你1号的来信,我按我们之间的协议回信,这个协议是不能违背的。你确实说过,早上我们起床时,大自然总会呈现出不同的面貌。谁能猜得到我写上一封信时的心境呢?我心灵的知己,这真可怕,让人沮丧,锐气尽消……亲爱的人儿,我又属于你了,你的幸福又将压倒我短暂的孤芳自赏。然而在这种时候,谁又感觉不到呢?啊,如果一息尚存却对它置若罔闻,不正与让第六感对这种印象反应迟钝同样鲁莽吗?——最亲爱的朋友,原谅我吧,我已把我的整个心奉献给你了。思绪飞转,令手中之笔无力倾诉,但激情终于宣泄而出,你的信也起了作用。我认为我们将永远不会停止彼此的交往,这种交往给我带来生命的曙光,这温暖的阳光洒在我冷清而漫长的人生之旅上。偏见可能要求人们作出牺牲,但我们不会屈服于这个幽灵;世俗可能要我们作出牺牲,舆论也会有所要求,但遥望远方那翻山越岭的云朵也会感到快乐,它将为身心带来好处。只要还有一口气,就永不屈服,决不低头;即使生命将尽,人间情侣也要相聚在天堂。什么是爱情,什么是友情?是球、苹果、玩偶——可以信手拈来、随意送人的实物吗?它是没有深刻的意义、不能交流的吗?凯米斯勋爵用一般激情的特殊体现来为爱情下定论,但这种爱只是肉欲,只是情欲——是荒唐透顶的逢场作戏。这种爱寻欢作乐,而非幸福之道。这种爱以自我为中心,自私自利,它只为自己的利益着想,是嫉妒的源泉,霸占追求的玩物才是它的目的所在,其本质是私心、垄断。这种爱的某些表现也是对爱的亵渎,使纤纤弱草般的爱荡然无存。但我们崇拜的爱,是美德、天意和无私的象征,一句话,真情——是能感觉到的,它与远方山间的云朵息息相关。它追求所有人的幸福——首先是对方的幸福,不只是因为对方赋予自己欢乐,也不仅因为对方让自己幸福,而是因为这种爱真正问心无愧,因为它有力量,有情感,并能倾其所能,因为美德的可爱而爱美德——不是因为怕下地狱或想进天堂而为他人祈福,而是出于质朴单纯的美德。你会很快再收到我的信。再见了,我最亲爱的朋友。请你继续相信这一点:什么时候我不忠于您的美德,我便不复存在。
  你的最诚挚和至死不渝的
  波西·比希·雪莱

  Dear Elizabeth;
  Your letter of the 1st hath this moment reached me。 I answer it according to our agreement; which shall be inviolable。 Truly did you say that; at our arising in the morning; Nature assumes a different aspect。 Who could have conjectured the circumstances of my last letter? Friend of my soul; this is terrible; dismaying: it makes one's heart sink; it withers vital energy…Dear being; I am thine again; thy happiness shall again predominate over this fleeting tribute to selfinterest。 Yet who would not feel now? Oh; it were as reckless a task to endeavour to annihilate perception while sense existed; as to blunt the sixth sense to such impressions as these!—Forgive me; dearest friend? I pour out my whole soul to you。 I write by fleeting intervals: my pen runs away with my senses。 The impassionateness of my sensations grows upon me。 Your letter; too; has much affected me。 Never; with my consent; shall that intercourse cease which has been the daydawn of my existence; the sun which has shed warmth on the cold drear length of the anticipated prospect of life。 Prejudice might demand the sacrifice; but she is an idol to whom we bow not。 The world might demand it; its opinion might require; but the cloud which flees over yon mountain were as important to our happiness; to our usefulness。 This must never be; never whilst this existence continues; and when Time has enrolled us in the list of the departed; surely this friendship will survive to bear our identity to heaven。 What is love; or friendship? Is it something material—a ball; an apple; a plaything—which must be taken from one to be given to another? Is it capable of no extension; no munication? Lord Kaimes defines love to be a particularization of the general passion。 But this is the love of sensation; of sentiment—the absurdest of absurd vanities。 It is the love of pleasure; not the love of centered; selfdevoted; selfinterested。 It desires its own interest; it is the parent of jealousy。 Its object is the plaything which it desires to monopolize。 Selfishness; monopoly; is its very soul; and to municate to others part of this love were to destroy its essence; to annihilate this chain of straw。 But love; the love which we worship—virtue; heaven; disinterestedness—in a word; Friendship—which has as much to do with the senses as with yonder mountains, that which seeks the good of all— the good of its object first; not because that object is a minister to its pleasures; not merely because it even contributes to its happiness; but because it is really worthy; because it has powers; sensibilities; is capable of abstracting itself; and loving virtue for virtue's own loveliness—desiring the happiness of others not from the obligation of fearing hell or desiring heaven: but for pure; simple; unsophisticated virtue。 You will soon hear again。 Adieu; my dearest friend。 Continue to believe that when I am insensible to your excellence; I shall cease to exist。
  Yours most sincerely; inviolably; eternally;
  Percy Bysshe Shelley

  我亲爱的宝贝——亲爱的弗吉尼亚——我们的母亲会向你解释为什么今晚我没和你在一起。我相信向我承诺的这次会面,会使我受益颇多——为了亲爱的你,也为了她——充满希望吧,也再多一些信任吧。我亲爱的妻子啊——如果没有你,在上次的巨大打击中我就会丧失勇气。奋斗挣扎在这失衡的、压抑与冷漠的生活中,你是我最大的也是惟一的慰藉与动力。
  明天我就要和你在一起了。我保证,我会把你上次的话和热诚的祝福深藏在心里,直到见到你。
  晚安,愿上帝保佑你和你忠诚的爱人有一个祥和的夏天。
  爱德加

  My dear Heart—My Dear Virginia—Our mother will explain to you why I stay away from you this night。 I trust the interview I am promised will result in some substantial good for me—for your dear sake and hers—keep up your heart in all hopefulness; and trust yet a little longer。 On my last great disappointment I should have lost my courage but for you—my little darling wife。 You are my greatest and only stimulus now; to battle with this uncongenial; unsatisfactory; and ungrateful life。
  I shall be with you tomorrow; and be assured until I see you that I will keep in loving remembrance your last words; and your fervent prayer!
  Sleep well; and may God grant you a peaceful summer with your devoted。
  Edgar

巴尔扎克致汉斯卡女士
巴尔扎克(1799-1850),19世纪法国伟大的批判现实主义作家,欧洲批判现实主义文学的奠基人和杰出代表。一生创作96部长、中、短篇小说和随笔,总名为《人间喜剧》。其中代表作为《欧也妮·葛朗台》、《高老头》。100多年来,他的作品传遍了全世界,对世界文学的发展和人类进步产生了巨大的影响。马克思、恩格斯称赞他〃是超群的小说家〃、〃现实主义大师〃。

  我恳求你将作家之我与常人之我彻底分开,并相信我真挚的感情。这是我忍不住给你写信时隐约表达出的感情。如果你宽容善良,能够原谅一个年轻人唐突、天真而愚蠢的幻想,我会坦诚地告诉你,你是我最甜蜜的梦。你是这世界上所剩无几、命运坎坷、四处飘零、难以寻觅的人物之一。我很高兴的是,你能成为我生命的一部分。或许你是从天国流放下来的……诗歌、音乐和宗教是这些人的三位神灵和最强烈的感情支撑,每一位神灵都能在我心中引发同样有力的反应。我把这些思想全部赋予你,并从遥远的地方向你伸出友爱之手,没有纨绔子弟的习气,没有愚昧的伤感,只有发自内心的自信与真诚。你只要凝视一下我的脸,也许就会发现那情人的感激和心灵的虔诚——那是连接儿子与母亲、兄弟与姐妹的真情,那是青年男子对女性的全部尊敬,那是对深挚友情的美好期待。
  1833年1月
  Balzac
  To
  January;1833
  I entreat you to separate the author entirely from the man and to believe in the sincerity of the sentiments which I have had to express vaguely in the correspondence you have obliged me to carry on with you。 If you are kind enough to excuse the folly of a youthful heart and of an imagination quite unsullied; I will confess to you that you have been to me the object of the sweetest dreams。 It pleases me to include you amongst the remains; nearly always unfortunate; of a scattered people; a people found only here and there on earth。 Perhaps exiled from Heaven…Poetry; music; and religion are their three divinities; their dominating passions; each of which awakens in their hearts equally powerful sensations。 So I have clothed you with all these ideas; and have stretched forth my hand to you fraternally from afar; without foppishness as well as without sentimental foolery; but with a confidence; almost domestic;with conscientiousness; and if you had only gazed upon my face;you might have traced there at the same time the lover's gratitude and the heart's religion—the true tenderness that binds the son to the mother and the brother to the sister; all the respect of the young man for the woman and the delightful anticipation of a long and fervent friendship。
