"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

~ Patanjali

Your recent Flaubert entry left me thinking I should have a go at Madame Bovary again--in English this time, so maybe I'll understand it.

Yeah, well, Henry left an influential reading list, didn't he? I don't recall precisely, but Keyserling was probably on it, and I know Celine, Blaise Cendrars, and Oswald Spengler (I'm the only one at LT who admits to reading Decline of the West), were on it. He even mentions Krishnamurti, in Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch, and perhaps Cosmological Eye.

You have what seems like a heady list. (Or heavy, as former hippies would put it.) I'm into personal essays now--Montaigne, William Hazlitt--but maybe I'll get to some of your stuff as the winter (here in upstate New York) brings on its cabin fever POV.

Blofeld was (is?) quite a scholarly orientalist, who has published several books on different aspects of Chinese philosophy and religion, e.g., The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet. There are an infinite number of ways to translate from one language to another. You might want to check out Le Ton beau de Marot, by Douglas R. Hofstadter

Check out John Blofeld's I Ching; it is much more "user friendly" than Wilhelm.
