For then, to begin with, I was young; which is an unearned increment of delight sure to be confiscated by the envious years and never regained. But even youth itself was not to be compared with the exquisite felicity of being deeply and desperately in love with Sheila, the clear-eyed heroine of that charming book.

炉边诗话：金性尧古诗纵横谈
本作品是作者写于上世纪80年代的一部解读古诗的集子，写在冬天，室内有一只取暖的炉子，故为此名。颇有于炉边取暖不拘一格闲话之味。作品收录数50余篇作者谈诗之作，从《诗经》一直谈到清末的戊戌六君子之一的林旭。金性尧以研究唐、宋诗见长，故能见人所未见，言人所未言也；故尔出版家钟叔河评之为“别开生面”。金性尧论诗论人，皆能以理智与同情之态度进入古人的世界，文字平淡自然，洗尽浮躁与火气，清凉自生。
