塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 182
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The exhibition of Milo was a great success. The Duke of Wellington went to see it, and ordered a statue. Sir Matthew White Eidley was much struck by the genius of young Lough, and became one of his greatest patrons. The sculptor determined to strike out a new path for himself. He thought the Greeks had exhausted the Pantheistic, and that heathen gods had been overdone. Lough began and pursued the study of lyric sculpture: he would illustrate the great English poets. But there was the obvious difficulty of telling the story of a figure by a single attitude. It was like a flash of thought. "The true artist," he said, "must plant his feet firmly on the earth, and sweep the heavens with his pencil. I mean," he added, "that the soul must be combined with the body, the ideal with the real, the heavens with the earth."

白话
卢夫靠《弥洛》展出成功,威灵顿公爵订了雕像,马修·怀特·里德利爵士赏识他并成为大赞助人。他决心另辟新路:认为希腊人已把泛神题材做尽,异教神祇也画滥了,于是转向抒情雕塑,用雕塑表现英国大诗人。难点很明显:单靠一个姿态讲不清故事。他的办法是让精神与形体、理想与现实、天上与人间结合,既脚踏实地又仰望天空。这提醒创作者:创新不是凭空另起,而是看清前人做到哪、自己还能补什么,再把抽象理念落到可感的形体上。
