The one primary essential to literary taste is a hot interest in literature. If you have that, all the rest will come.It matters nothing that at present you fail to find pleasure in certain classics. The driving impulse of your interest will force you to acquire experience, and experience will teach you the use of the means of pleasure. You do not know the secret ways of yourself: that is all.
文学品味的一个基本要素就是对文学的极度热爱。你做到了这一点,那剩下的则是水到渠成。目前,你没有在某些经典文学作品中获得快乐,这并无大碍。你对文学的兴趣,会驱使你获得更多经验。这些经验会教你运用快乐的方法,那就是你本人也不知道的快乐秘诀,仅此而已。
