Aesthetics of a Small Theatre
Don’t bring a horse
Into a small theatre
But, if you must,
Put it on stage.
一個小劇場的美學
不要將一匹馬
帶進一個小劇場
但，如果你非做不可，
就置它於舞台上。
Aesthetics of Creating Something
This doesn't happen:
It happens to you.
創造某物的美學
這個不會發生：
你碰巧撞上。
Aesthetics of Lorca
Federico Garcia Lorca stands alone
Luna, typewriter, plantain tree, and dust
The moon is watching him. It is watching over him.
洛爾迦的美學
費德裏戈·加西亞·洛爾伽獨自站著
月神、打字機、大蕉樹和塵埃
月亮正看著他。正注視著他。
Aesthetics of Feeling Fine
Feel fine
Then go away.
感覺很好的美學
感覺很好
然後走掉。
Aesthetics of Being a Mouse
Look at the floor.
Look up.
Look at the wall.
做一隻老鼠的美學
看這地板。
往上看。
看這牆。
Aesthetics of Poetry and Prose
Chekhov told Bunin
Not to begin writing
Until he felt cold as ice.
Keats wrote to Shelley
“I am a fever of myself ! ”
詩與文的美學
契訶夫告訴布寧
不到感覺冷得像冰
就別動筆。
而濟慈寫給雪萊
“我為己狂！”
Aesthetics of Comedy Asleep
Don’t wake the clown
Or he may knock you down.
喜劇睡眠的美學
別驚醒醜角
不然他會把你揍趴下。
Aesthetics of Silence
Silence is not everything.
It is half of everything
Like a house.
沉默的美學
沉默不是一切。
它是一切的一半
就像一幢房子。
Aesthetics of the Aesthetician
What is the aesthetician
But a mule hitched to the times?
1994
美學家的美學
什麽是美學家
隻是拴在了時代上的一頭騾子？
