日期:2022-07-18 Philip was restless and dissatisfied. Haywards poetic allusions troubled his imagination, and his soul yearned for romance. At least that was how he put it to himself. And it happened that an incident was taking place in Frau Erlins house which incr... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-18 Winter set in. Weeks went to Berlin to attend the lectures of Paulssen, and Hayward began to think of going South. The local theatre opened its doors. Philip and Hayward went to it two or three times a week with the praiseworthy intention of improvi... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-18 It occurred neither to Hayward nor to Weeks that the conversations which helped them to pass an idle evening were being turned over afterwards in Philips active brain. It had never struck him before that religion was a matter upon which discussion w... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-18 Weeks had two little rooms at the back of Frau Erlins house, and one of them, arranged as a parlour, was comfortable enough for him to invite people to sit in. After supper, urged perhaps by the impish humour which was the despair of his friends in... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-18 Philip had spent three months in Heidelberg when one morning the Frau Professor told him that an Englishman named Hayward was coming to stay in the house, and the same evening at supper he saw a new face. For some days the family had lived in a stat... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-18 The oddest of Philips masters was his teacher of French. Monsieur Ducroz was a citizen of Geneva. He was a tall old man, with a sallow skin and hollow cheeks; his gray hair was thin and long. He wore shabby black clothes, with holes at the elbows of... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-15 Professor Erlin gave Philip a lesson every day. He made out a list of books which Philip was to read till he was ready for the final achievement of Faust, and meanwhile, ingeniously enough, started him on a German translation of one of the plays by... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-15 Philip thought occasionally of the Kings School at Tercanbury, and laughed to himself as he remembered what at some particular moment of the day they were doing. Now and then he dreamed that he was there still, and it gave him an extraordinary satis... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-15 Philips uncle had an old friend, called Miss Wilkinson, who lived in Berlin. She was the daughter of a clergyman, and it was with her father, the rector of a village in Lincolnshire, that Mr. Carey had spent his last curacy; on his death, forced to... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Mr. Perkins soon saw that his words had had no effect on Philip, and for the rest of the term ignored him. He wrote a report which was vitriolic. When it arrived and Aunt Louisa asked Philip what it was like, he answered cheerfully. Rotten. Is it? s... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Philip was moved into the Sixth, but he hated school now with all his heart, and, having lost his ambition, cared nothing whether he did ill or well. He awoke in the morning with a sinking heart because he must go through another day of drudgery. He... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 At first Philip had been too grateful for Roses friendship to make any demands on him. He took things as they came and enjoyed life. But presently he began to resent Roses universal amiability; he wanted a more exclusive attachment, and he claimed a... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 But Philip could not live long in the rarefied air of the hilltops. What had happened to him when first he was seized by the religious emotion happened to him now. Because he felt so keenly the beauty of faith, because the desire for self-sacrifice... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Philip passed the next two years with comfortable monotony. He was not bullied more than other boys of his size; and his deformity, withdrawing him from games, acquired for him an insignificance for which he was grateful. He was not popular, and he... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 A year passed, and when Philip came to the school the old masters were all in their places; but a good many changes had taken place notwithstanding their stubborn resistance, none the less formidable because it was concealed under an apparent desire... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 The Kings School at Tercanbury, to which Philip went when he was thirteen, prided itself on its antiquity. It traced its origin to an abbey school, founded before the Conquest, where the rudiments of learning were taught by Augustine monks; and, lik... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Then a wave of religiosity passed through the school. Bad language was no longer heard, and the little nastinesses of small boys were looked upon with hostility; the bigger boys, like the lords temporal of the Middle Ages, used the strength of their... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Two years passed, and Philip was nearly twelve. He was in the first form, within two or three places of the top, and after Christmas when several boys would be leaving for the senior school he would be head boy. He had already quite a collection of... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 As time went on Philips deformity ceased to interest. It was accepted like one boys red hair and anothers unreasonable corpulence. But meanwhile he had grown horribly sensitive. He never ran if he could help it, because he knew it made his limp more... 阅读全文>> 日期:2022-07-13 Next morning when the clanging of a bell awoke Philip he looked round his cubicle in astonishment. Then a voice sang out, and he remembered where he was. Are you awake, Singer? The partitions of the cubicle were of polished pitch-pine, and there was... 阅读全文>> |
