英语词汇sex and masterpieces的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

sex and masterpieces. Charlie Chaplin wrote in his autobi- ography: “Like Balzac, who believed that a night of sex meant the loss of a good page of his novel, so I believe that it meant the loss of a good day’s work at the studio.” Chaplin was right about Balzac, though Balzac may not have been right about sex and writing, but Balzac did believe that the two acts of love were incompatible and that his writing prowess depended on how much sperm he retained in his body while working. He once “suffered” an uncontrollable nocturnal emission and claimed that it cost him a masterpiece the following day. One story has it that after one of his rare visits to a brothel Balzac could be heard muttering when he left: “Ah, j’ai perdu un livre! J’ai perdu un livre! (“I’ve lost a book!”) See the greatest of novelists.
