The stock dove plain amid the forest deep,
That drowsy rustles to the sighing gale.
野鸽在浓密的树林中哀诉,
树林随微风的叹息而低语。
—to traverse desert wildness, to listen to the dungeon's gloom,or sit in crowded theatres and see life itself mocked, to feel heat and cold,pleasure and pain right and wrong,truth and falsehood, to study the works of art and refine the sense of beauty to agony, to worship fame and to dream of immortality, to have read Shakespeare and Beloit to the same species as Sir Isaac Newton to be and to do all this and then in a moment to be nothing to have it all snatched from one like a juggler's ball or a phantasmagoria...
——我们横越大漠;我们倾听了子夜的歌声;我们光顾灯火辉 煌的厅堂,走下阴森森的地牢,或者坐在万头攒动的剧院里观看生活本身受到的摩拟;我们亲身感受炎热和寒冷,快乐和痛苦,正义和邪恶,真理和谬误;我们钻研 艺术作品,把自己的美感提高到极其敏锐的程度;我们崇拜荣誉,梦想不朽;我们阅读莎士比亚,或者把自己和牛顿爵士视为同一族类,正当我们面临这一切,从事 这一切的时候,自己却在一刹那之间化为虚无,眼前的一切像是魔术师手中的圆球,像是一场幻影,一下子全都消失得无影无踪……
