对艺术家来说,表达是他得以体察生活的唯一方式。对于他,没有声音的就等于没有生命。但是对于基督,情况就不是这样。靠着那令人肃然起敬的想象力,其宽宏其神妙,他把整个说不出话的世界、无声的痛苦世界,当作他的国度, 使自己成为它永恒的喉舌[ 1 0 5 a ] 。我提到过的那些人,那些无言地受着压迫, “沉默只有上帝听到的人”, 他认他们为兄弟。他尽力要成为盲者的眼睛、聋者的耳朵、口舌被困者的一声呼喊。他期望的就是为有口无言的芸芸众生当一把号角,他们好向上天呼唤。靠着他那份艺术的天性——一个人具备了这天性,悲怆和受苦就成了实现自己对美的观念的方式——他感觉到一个理念,要是没道成肉身化作形象,便没有价值,于是就让自己化成了悲怆之人的形象。正因为此, 艺术为之倾倒, 尊他为上,而纵观希腊诸神,哪个也没能如此独领风骚过。

热门推荐

1、You admired my work when it was finished: you enjoyed the brilliant successes of my first nights, and the brilliant banquets that followed them: you were proud, and quite naturally so, of being the intimate friend of an artist so distinguished: but you could not understand the conditions requisite for the production of artistic work. I am not speaking in phrases of rhetorical exaggeration but in terms of absolute truth to actual fact when I remind you that during the whole time we were together I never wrote one single line. Whether at Torquay, Goring, London, Florence or elsewhere, my life, as long as you were by my side, was entirely sterile and uncreative. And with but few intervals you were, I regret to say, by my side always. 2、I knew, if I allowed mysel to hate you, that in the dry desert of existence over which I had to travel, and am travelling still, every rock would lose its shadow, every palm tree be withered, every well of water prove poisoned at its source . 3、仇恨会蒙蔽人的双眼,这点你是不知道的。爱能读懂写在最遥远星星上的诗篇,恨却令人眼育,除了你狭隘封闭、已被贪婪之火烤枯的欲望之园外,你一无所见。你严重缺乏想象力,这是你性格中一个真正致命的缺陷,而这完全是你内心的仇恨产生的结果。你的仇恨不断地噬咬着你的天性,就像是苔藓啃噬山毛柳的根,最后你眼中除了一些最粗劣的兴趣和最微小的目标外,别无他物。本应由爱培养的能力已被恨侵蚀毒害,陷于瘫痪。当你父亲首次攻击我时,他把自己当成你的密友并给你写了一封私密的信。当我读到那封充满了下流威胁和粗鄙暴力的密信时,我马上意识到一个可怕的灾难正向我苦难的岁月森然逼近。我告诉你我不会夹在你们这对有着宿怨旧仇的父子中间,成为你们彼此报复对方的工具。对于你父亲,身处伦敦的我比起在霍姆堡的外交大臣自然是一个更大的攻击目标,把我放在这样的位置上哪怕是片刻都是不公平的。我生活中有更好的事情要去做,用不着和一个落魄愚笨的醉汉去大吵大闹。但你看不见这些,仇恨令你眼盲。 4、how clearly I saw it then, as now, I need not tell you. But I said to myself:34;At all costs I must keep love in my heart. If I go into prison without Love what will become of my soul?34; The letters I wrote to you at that time from Holloway were my efforts to keep Love as the dominant note of my own nature. 5、我希望有生之年能写出这类作品,这样在生命的最后时刻就能够说, “ 是的,这正是艺术生命把人带到的地方。” 6、在一个人的生活中的每一瞬间,人都只能是他将要成为的人,而不是曾经成为的人。艺术是象征,因为人是象征。
