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.
1 p3 P* o8 _8 M0 d. d- e- ]. G1 ]6 ]4 z/ D& X$ E J
这后半句话的结构实际很好理解，就是定语从句，
9 O+ u8 E, d2 c" X& \+ V$ t |- W7 I5 P) h8 i- D1 z" D
& t9 a! G7 E- Q; c' z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...! e& K- n$ e1 p$ M. x% e$ P7 ?
在此基础上可以加个which，... a romantic readiness which I have never found in any other person...
5 l6 ^: c! R: f, p u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/ |# m# ]& [) v$ u9 h. s2 O转述成定语从句的时候就成了 ... a romantic readiness SUCH WHICH I have never found* 7 z% U5 A( i7 d! p A6 c! O) C4 z! ~
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。3 _2 d; C2 ?4 y
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。
2 Q* L8 J. p: _5 f' L
# M5 ]; f" c L4 _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。
/ }9 J+ s, i1 ]7 {
7 t# ?5 J, E4 s) s9 A
9 l. r5 W; S' D+ K. r1 P2 n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; e: u8 `9 {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，1 X0 O+ E/ H) i: n: H2 u8 p8 ~
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：. x7 B0 V+ d2 K2 a8 D
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.

1 |. ^& e2 c$ Y最后，it作为形式主语放在句首的写法更符合英语思维。, } s" Y% U! {+ S
比如 It is not likely that the United States could re-emerge from the mess of this covid-19 pandemic with the nation's psyche undistrubed.
