斷臂維納斯

隻因過份完美,

才被砍去兩隻膀臂?

還是因失去了雙臂,

才顯得美妙無比?

可否下一個更確切的定義,

美即,

殘缺得恰到好處。

VENUS DE MILO

Is it because it is too perfect

that its two arms are cut off?

Or is it because it has lost its two arms

that it becomes so beautiful?

Can we give a more precise definition?

Beauty is

the perfect degree of imperfection.
