书籍介绍
This play takes readers back and forth between the 19th and 20th centuries. Set in a large country house in Derbyshire, a cast of characters from each century play out their respective dramas. The text explores topics such as the nature of truth and time and the difference between the classical and the romantic temperament, and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life.

HEART HEART HEART
雖然還在讀但是已經知道自己以後還會讀很多次的好書.讀的有點慢不是全懂但還是很感興趣
过于与现在穿插的形式很有趣。
Valentine: She didn’t have the maths, not remotely. She saw what things meant, way ahead, like seeing a picture.
Hannah: What did she see? Valentine: That you can’t run the film backwards. Heat was the first thing which didn’t work that way. Not like Newton.

The behaviour of heat involves blurring, just like time. 热的方向与时间的箭头物理上异曲同工，剧作里热与时间亦交织跌宕。
"idk, had a hunch"
不要为亚历山大图书馆的焚毁以及古希腊作品的丢失而叹惋，不用为费马因书边太窄而没有写下证明过程而可惜，一切丢失与空白都会被重新发现重新填补，人类文明很长但人生很短，我们走走停停，与外界交换着能量，直到我们再也没有什么能与这世界交换了时，我们安祥地闭上双眼，有一天这宇宙也会冷却也会寂静。
目前读过的最难理解的原版 有点吃力
牛逼 科学和诗歌结合 讨论内容挺硬核的 剧情还不无聊 主旨非常深刻给出了一种既混乱又命定的神奇世界观（没完全看懂 但是很受启发）顺带讨论了一些什么哥特文化园林美学之类的 等有机会要再仔细看一遍
“It is a defect of God’s humour that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.”
plot聪明，句子漂亮，还有一点伤感的真情流露来中和知识分子的irreverence.
