The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.
创作行为并不纯粹。历史证明了这一点。社会学提取了它。作家失去了伊甸园，写作是为了被阅读，并逐渐意识到他是需要负责的。
The rule of recognition exists as a social fact.
A writer is selected by his subject—his subject being the consciousness of his own era.
