VIRTUE is like a rich stone, best plain set; and surely virtue is best,

5 _9 b# v1 D+ N5 j 美德好比宝石,在朴素背景的衬托下反而更华丽。同样,一个打扮并不华贵,却端庄严肃而有美德的人是令人肃然起敬的。 % S% C h9 R, b& U
美貌的人并不都有其他方面的才能。许多容貌俊秀的人却一无所有,他们过于追求外形的美而放弃了内在的美。
5 _% U. D9 o7 R" \& _; N w& S+ f 仔细分析起来,形体之美要胜于颜色之美,而优雅行为之美又胜于形体之美。最高的美是画家所无法表现的。因为它是难以直观的。这是一种奇妙的美,曾经有两位画家――阿皮雷斯和丢勒滑稽地认为,可以按照几何比例,或者通过摄取不同人身上最美的特点,加以合成的方法,画出最完美的人像。 5 ?* V$ H C- ]: z& y
其实像这样画出来的美人,恐怕只有画家才喜欢。 / X' b& B/ V- E6 y3 C K
有些老人显得很可爱,因为他们的作风优雅而美。“美人的迟暮也是美的。”而尽管有的年轻人具有美貌,却由于缺乏优美的修养而不配得到赞美。 1 b Q; [, t" b. `
美有如盛夏的水果,而容易腐烂而难保持的,世上有许多美人,他们有过放荡青春,却迎受着愧悔的晚年。 7 y* H! T' k! q9 j z% \
因此,把美的形貌与美的德行结合起来吧。只有这样,美会放射出真正的光辉。 |
