Aesthetics of a Small Theatre

Don’t bring a horse

Into a small theatre
But, if you must,

Put it on stage.

一个小剧场的美学

不要将一匹马

带进一个小剧场

但，如果你非做不可，

就置它于舞台上。

Aesthetics of Creating Something

This doesn't happen:

It happens to you.

创造某物的美学

这个不会发生：

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.

洛尔迦的美学

费德里戈·加西亚·洛尔伽独自站着

月神、打字机、大蕉树和尘埃

月亮正看着他。正注视着他。

Aesthetics of Feeling Fine

Feel fine

Then go away.

感觉很好的美学

感觉很好

然后走掉。

Aesthetics of Being a Mouse

Look at the floor.

Look up.

Look at the wall.

做一只老鼠的美学

看这地板。

往上看。

看这墙。

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 ! ”

诗与文的美学

契诃夫告诉布宁

不到感觉冷得像冰

就别动笔。

而济慈写给雪莱

“我为己狂！”

Aesthetics of Comedy Asleep

Don’t wake the clown

Or he may knock you down.

喜剧睡眠的美学

别惊醒丑角

不然他会把你揍趴下。

Aesthetics of Silence

Silence is not everything.

It is half of everything

Like a house.

沉默的美学

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

美学家的美学

什么是美学家

只是拴在了时代上的一头骡子？
