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.

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...: y9 p7 A5 v' z. l9 ?8 m4 H5 v
在此基础上可以加个which，... a romantic readiness which I have never found in any other person...6 K2 b3 S! W6 W) p! x0 J* @
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.3 _$ k' e q5 K6 |- B
转述成定语从句的时候就成了 ... a romantic readiness SUCH WHICH I have never found* , @. s# g- b/ y1 R) }
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。4 q( f; l6 t& P/ F: p+ \
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。
/ {" K: x4 n+ j4 M8 a8 v2 A8 N) o$ S& y+ S
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。

5 x0 t; Z: p0 q, G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。
, A8 a+ O: D! I5 u/ t) Y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，; r" e0 \ x# j0 L# F; }
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：

4 v/ M' V [6 _& r最后，it作为形式主语放在句首的写法更符合英语思维。
