{; s6 r2 m8 _! f f9 w, VThis 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.

这后半句话的结构实际很好理解，就是定语从句，
- p5 `! X9 c# b# U" y9 l, t5 y* z) v5 L* k) y
! l: i; p" O+ ]: G9 w" s5 h$ a
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..." R! t+ ~: f6 _. w" ]$ R1 u5 `
在此基础上可以加个which，... a romantic readiness which I have never found in any other person...1 G- T1 E) r/ I& x2 Z8 [% ^. B
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.
# p! L3 G7 f' Z8 d转述成定语从句的时候就成了 ... a romantic readiness SUCH WHICH I have never found*
. f8 H; C" W8 K g" X# B7 h. l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。
- p9 V, V+ u' q' s4 h9 N4 A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。
. F/ k, u, c2 [4 Q' B4 P+ d& p! T- N* S( @& j4 K! v* F
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。3 }3 m w! e9 a% S' L- D* ~5 v
~4 y8 L c# P9 k$ t' h, i8 u! c* T8 X! P" m. a5 W8 G. i f
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。
: U: }7 p5 B; P* O! k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，
# u" b- K; k [3 R: m. ^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：% o+ Q' A+ t0 u% X1 f
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.

最后，it作为形式主语放在句首的写法更符合英语思维。
