序言……希措的伏尔太作过一种鲜明的对此,说画是无声的诗,而诗则是1有声的画。这种话是任何教科书里都找不到的。这是一种偶然灵机一动的想法,象西蒙尼德斯所惯常碰到的。这句话里的正确的部分很有启发性,但不免使人们忽视其中不明确的和错误的部分。 Preamble ... Xi Volta made a sharp contrast to this, saying that painting is a silent poem, and poem is a sound painting. Such words can not be found in any textbook. This is an accidental thought, as Simonides commonly encountered. The correct part of this sentence is instructive, but it inevitably leads to the neglect of the ambiguous and erroneous parts of it.
