  • Tributes. Interpreters of our Cultural Tradition. Oxford: Phaidon 1984
In this seventh volume of his collected essays, Professor Gombrich pays tribute to a variety of illustrious figures to whom we owe the ideas and values which are woven into the fabric of our intellectual life. His 
bicentennial address on the humanities delivered at the American Academy of Arts and Science is
 followed by studies of G E Lessing,
 G F Hegel, 
Lord Leverhulme, 
Sigmund Freud, 
Aby Warburg and
 Otto Kurz, amongst others. The author explains that he wanted to introduce such a varied selection of scholars and critics to the nonspecialist reader in order to exemplify the nature and value of branches of learning which are in danger of being squeezed out of higher education.

President Trump treats the Syrian president as a potential ally. Will Tuesday’s deadly chemical weapons attack change that?


Three time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edwin Arlington Robinson died in New York City on this day in 1935 (aged 65).
"Ballad Of Dead Friends"
As we the withered ferns 
By the roadway lying,
Time, the jester, spurns
All our prayers and prying --
All our tears and sighing,
Sorrow, change, and woe --
All our where-and-whying
For friends that come and go.
Life awakes and burns,
Age and death defying,
Till at last it learns
All but Love is dying;
Love's the trade we're plying,
God has willed it so;
Shrouds are what we're buying
For friends that come and go.
Man forever yearns
For the thing that's flying.
Everywhere he turns,
Men to dust are drying, --
Dust that wanders, eying
(With eyes that hardly glow)
New faces, dimly spying
For friends that come and go.
ENVOY
And thus we all are nighing
The truth we fear to know:
Death will end our crying
For friends that come and go.

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, was the first of the great American modernist poets."No poet ever understood loneliness and separateness better than Robinson," James Dickey has observed. Robinson’s lyric poems illuminate the hearts and minds of the most unlikely subjects—the downtrodden, the bereft, and the misunderstood. Even while writing in meter and rhyme, he used everyday language with unprecedented power, wit, and sensitivity. With his keen understanding of ordinary people and a gift for harnessing the rhythms of conversational speech, Robinson created the vivid character portraits for which he is best known, among them "Aunt Imogen," "Isaac and Archibald," "Miniver Cheevy," and "Richard Cory." Most of his poems are set in the fictive Tilbury Town—based on his boyhood home of Gardiner, Maine—but his work reaches far beyond its particular locality in its focus on struggle and redemption in human experience.

夢見有雕刻師看影片要面談。
又是週四。

經溫州街:那家茶餐廳,經營至少三十多年,半年前不再續租.....現在周圍的修竹等,全拔光了:前主人只帶走最高的築栽。此地區很多這種成功的投資客,數十年的總房租是當初房價的數倍。

The meeting was scripted, which means there was no real discussion.
