解説

付記

人の読書を見れば、 その学びと育ちが知れる。 人の笑いの種を見れば、 その来世が知れる。 読まず、笑わぬ者―― それならスフィンクスのほうがまだ賢い！ ―― ジュピター・ミューク

Original

The general body of what one reads. In our country it consists, as a rule, of Indiana novels, short stories in "dialect" and humor in slang.

Additional notes

We know by one's reading His learning and breeding; By what draws his laughter We know his Hereafter. Read nothing, laugh never— The Sphinx was less clever! Jupiter Muke
