Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures.
不錯,從個人角度來說,藝術(shù)使生活更為豐滿。它使人感到更大的歡樂,但也更快地令人衰老。藝術(shù)在它的信奉者面上鐫刻著奇妙的幻想與高超的意境,即使這些信徒表面上過著一種幽靜恬淡的生活,但到頭來還會變得吹毛求疵,過分琢磨,疲乏困倦,神經(jīng)過敏,而縱情于聲色之娛的人們是不致落到這步田地的。
