In the town there was a shoemaker by the name of Martin, who lived in a basement with a tiny little window looking out into the street. Martin could see the people pass, and though he only got a glimpse of their feet, he still knew every one, for Martin could recognize people by their boots. Martin had lived in that basement for many a long year and had numbers of acquaintances.

S?rmanul Nietzsche, ?bestia blond?“, a avut ?i el parte de crucificare. Multor profe?i ?i m?ntuitori li se ?nt?mpl? asta: eventual ?i ?n timpul vie?ii, ?i dup? moarte.

　　影响中国古代士人心态变化的又一重要方面，是思潮。我们通常都谈到诸如两汉的儒学一尊的思想潮流、魏晋玄学、宋明理学等等对于士人的影响。这些影响是如何行的，通过什么样的渠道，轻重浅深，如何始，如何了结，似乎就有一连串的问题需要回答。我们可以对这些思潮作义理的细微辨析，但是它们如何的士人的内心，变成他们的人生取向，融他们的感情世界，我们就所知甚少。有时我常瞑想，王阳明在越，每临讲座，环坐而听者数百人，四方来学者比屋而居，每一室合食者常数十，夜无卧处，更相就席，歌声彻昏旦。阳明门人王艮讲学，听者近千。他们何所求而来？他们想些什么？他们的内心是怎样的一种境界？他们所追求的理论，是如何的融他们的人性深处？如果我们都了解了，我们也许就会看到一群活生生的人从逝去的历史中复活。我们会同其悲，同其喜。我们对于历史，就会有一种亲切感。历史就不会是一组枯燥的数字和一些事件的罗列。我们对于人生，或者就会有更深的感悟。 　　影响中国古代士人心态变化的又一方面，是提供给他们什么样的生活出路。现实的生活状况是决定一个人的心境的非常实在的因素。他们有什么样的生活条件，就可能产生什么样的想法。我们看明代嘉靖以后的士人，他们中的一部分人，虽也为屡试不第而苦恼，但是那苦恼又常常很快消逝。因为他们并非只有仕一途。他们还有其他的生活出路，可仕可商，可卖文卖书卖画，他们还有生存的广阔空间，有人甚至还可能获得极高的社会地位。考察他们的生活出路，有可能了解他们的心绪。

Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!
