叶灵凤笔下的"天方书话"

叶灵凤(1905～1975),无论从哪个角度讲都算得上是中国的一位文化名人,尽管在相当长的一段时间里,由于他的"历史问题",也由于他早年(1938)移居香港,人们(特别是在内地)很少提到他.后人对他的定位是画家、作家和藏书家,但后两个身份显然更为人所知.作为作家,他很早就开始写小说,创办过文学刊物<戈壁>,柳亚子当年写过5首七言绝句,每首咏两人,在这10人中,叶灵凤和潘汉年为一组,与鲁迅、柔石、郭沫若、丁玲、胡也频等排列在一起,他在文学界的名气由此可见一斑.然而自20世纪40年代以后,他几乎不再写小说,开始转向散文、随笔创作,其中绝大多数是读书随笔,包括本文要谈的 "天方书话":<亚剌伯的劳伦斯>、<褒顿与〈天方夜谭〉>、<〈天方夜谭〉里的中国>和<纪伯伦与梅的情书>等.
