This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the "creative temperament"—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.

% ]0 I4 Q$ e5 z% \这后半句话的结构实际很好理解，就是定语从句，4 f% a7 U( V$ k

首先such as可以去掉而不改变句意，写作 ... it was an extradinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness I have never found in any other person...2 i) F" w2 u* u2 n+ l. m D, @
在此基础上可以加个which，... a romantic readiness which I have never found in any other person...
2 E/ r9 V8 R) l4 H& a9 p( W; V$ r但现在作者想加上一个such，这在语义上起到提升语气的作用，也可以呼应前半句的内容，相当于汉语思维中的 “如此的什么什么”，等同于在说 I have never found such a romantic readiness in any other person.6 T1 x [) b# T9 z( u! f
转述成定语从句的时候就成了 ... a romantic readiness SUCH WHICH I have never found* 2 I, f# \2 K: j$ ?
但这里的which前面只能是介词，比如 a house IN which I live, 不能是such which。
& d8 c4 g* A* m3 t$ v+ F而这个写作思维仍然是正确的，但需要把which换作as，于是就有了原文的写法。
% J. `5 ]: _* @. T
5 F K1 q4 e5 N" r5 ]! ?最后半句中的which也是定语从句，which是find的宾语，which的先行词是readiness。6 d1 n1 J' L6 ]# v+ A% v

3 ~! l. Z6 [ n5 p" w2 C至于你提出的改法，前半句是正确的，但作者是想把such放在readiness上，而不是gift上。
" d5 A" |: l' c s/ d! J. i. e% O后半句在语法上成立，却不符合英语的表达习惯，像这种两个并列的定语从句，为了表述清晰，通常会在第二个分句加上引导词作为“路标”，告诉读者这是接在前面哪里的，# B L' N- s- `! ~ x
两个并列定语从句，往往前面的引导词可以省略，但后面的不能省，比如：! l; h8 p# _5 |
Trump began today's briefing nonchalantly as usual, saying he was taking Hydroxychloroquine to stave off covid-19, and that the Administration was contacting drug manufacturers of other countries in an attempt to mass produce this medicine for widespread use in America.
