Could annihilation occur to matter, this were the thing to do it.

一旦發(fā)生什么毀滅性的事情，一定是從這里產(chǎn)生出來(lái)的。

Nor does this—its amazing strength, at all tend to CRIpple the graceful flexion of its motions; where infantileness of ease undulates through a Titanism of power. On the contrary, those motions derive their most appalling beauty from it. Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Take away the tied tendons that all over seem bursting from the marble in the carved Hercules, and its charm would be gone. As devout Eckerman lifted the linen sheet from the naked corpse of Goethe, he was overwhelmed with the massive chest of the man, that seemed as a Roman triumphal arch. When Angelo paints even God the Father in human form, mark what robustness is there. And whatever they may reveal of the divine love in the Son, the soft, curled, hermaphroditical Italian pictures, in which his idea has been most successfully embodied; these pictures, so destitute as they are of all brawniness, hint nothing of any power, but the mere negative, feminine one of submission and endurance, which on all hands it is conceded, form the peculiar practical virtues of his teachings.

它這種驚人的力量，一點(diǎn)也不會(huì)使它那柔雅的動(dòng)作有所遜色；動(dòng)作柔和自如好象是通過(guò)一種巨人似的力量而波動(dòng)起伏。相反地，這種動(dòng)作產(chǎn)生一種非常令人驚駭?shù)拿栏?。真正的力量決不會(huì)破壞美或者和諧，而是往往更賦它以美，同時(shí)，凡是富麗堂皇的東西，力量就跟不可思議的魔力極有關(guān)系。如果把雕刻品的海格立斯那種似乎要從大理石炸出來(lái)的、滿布全身的緊張肌肉都給毀掉，它的誘人的力量也就完全消失了。正如虔敬的愛(ài)克曼（約翰·彼得·愛(ài)克曼（1792—1854）——德國(guó)作家，歌德的朋友，秘書(shū)，著有《歌德談話錄》一書(shū)。）從歌德的赤裸的尸體上揭起麻布被單，看到歌德的結(jié)實(shí)的胸脯，而大為感動(dòng)一樣，因?yàn)槟切馗透_馬的凱旋拱門(mén)一模一樣。當(dāng)安哲羅（安哲羅——意大利十六世紀(jì)的畫(huà)家。）甚至把圣父畫(huà)成人形的時(shí)候，也畫(huà)得多么壯健。那些柔和委婉、具有雌雄同體的意大利畫(huà)，不管它是怎樣顯示出了圣子的圣愛(ài)，都挺成功地體現(xiàn)出了作者的意念，盡管那些畫(huà)畫(huà)得那么缺乏結(jié)實(shí)的肌肉，除了顯出一種消極的、女性的屈從與忍耐的神氣，一點(diǎn)也顯示不出力量，但從它各方面所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的氣派說(shuō)來(lái)，卻形成了作者的理論的特別切合實(shí)際的特點(diǎn)。
