Passage 2:
A
friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew
the horses very well,but he
always
began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to
begin at the head of the horse,
that is
why I was surprised. It struck me that it could
not really make any difference
whether
the artist begins at the head or the tail or the
belly
（
肚子）
or the foot of the
horse, if
he really knows his business. And most great
artists who really know their
business
do not follow other people’s make their own
rules. Every one of
them
does
his
work
in
a
way
peculiar(
奇特的
)
to
himself;
and
the
peculiarity
means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now
the very same thing is true to
literature(
文学
). And the
question,
begin?
tail or
somewhere else. That is, you are not yet
experienced(
有经验的
) enough to
trust to your own powers. When you
become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think
that you will often begin at the tail --that is to
say,
you
will
write
the
end
of
the
story
before
you
have
even
thought
of
the
beginning.
