KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
我告诉人类,不要对上帝感到好奇。我是凡事察验的、却不察验神。我凡事听见看见神、却不明白神的意思。
Stories, as much as we like to talk about them, retrospectively, as emanations of theme or worldview or intention, occur primarily as technical objects when they're being written. Or at least they do for me. They're the result of thousands of decisions made at speed during revision.
故事,尽管我们很喜欢谈论它们,回顾过去,作为主题、世界观或意图的发散,当它们被写出来的时候,主要是作为技术对象发生的。至少对我来说是这样。它们是在修改过程中快速做出的数千个决定的结果。
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
在我看来,艺术作品是物质世界中唯一具有内在秩序的对象,这就是为什么,虽然我不认为只有艺术才重要,但我相信艺术是为了艺术而艺术。
Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.
即使是用一般的智慧,在我的梦中,似乎有一些人和一些物体是在我自己之外的,但很明显,它们是我自己创造的,是我的一部分,它们是我自己大脑中的心智结构。
