茶者，南方之嘉木也，一尺二尺，乃至数十尺。其巴山峡川有两人合抱者，伐而掇之，其树如瓜芦，叶如栀子，花如白蔷薇，实如栟榈，蒂如丁香，根如胡桃。其字或从草，或从木，或草木并。其名一曰茶，二曰槚，三曰蔎，四曰茗，五曰荈。其地：上者生烂石，中者生栎壤，下者生黄土。凡艺而不实，植而罕茂，法如种瓜，三岁可采。野者上，园者次；阳崖阴林紫者上，绿者次；笋者上，牙者次；叶卷上，叶舒次。阴山坡谷者不堪采掇，性凝滞，结瘕疾。茶之为用，味至寒，为饮最宜精行俭德之人，若热渴、凝闷、脑疼、目涩、四支烦、百节不舒，聊四五啜，与醍醐、甘露抗衡也。采不时，造不精，杂以卉，莽饮之成疾，茶为累也。亦犹人参，上者生上党，中者生百济、新罗，下者生高丽。有生泽州、幽州、檀州者，为药无效，况非此者！设服荠苨，使六疾不瘳。知人参为累，则茶累尽矣。

A tremendously influential poet and dramatist, Beckett spoke of his prose fiction as the "important writing," the medium in which he distilled his ideas most powerfully. Here, for the first time, his short prose is gathered in a definitive, complete volume by leading Beckett scholar S. E. Gontarski.
