23. Though the speeches in the plays, and single lines, have a beauty which tempts the ear to pause on them for their euphuism,[645] yet the sentence is so loaded with meaning, and so linked with its foregoers and followers, that the logician is satisfied. His means are as admirable as his ends; every subordinate invention, by which he helps himself to connect some irreconcilable opposites, is a poem too. He is not reduced to dismount and walk, because his horses are running off with him in some distant direction; he always rides.

白话

爱默生说,剧中的演讲和单行诗句有美感,会让人因辞藻华丽而驻足,但句子承载着丰富意义,又与前后的句子紧密相连,所以逻辑学家也满意。他的手段和目的一样令人赞叹;每一个用来连接看似不可调和之物的辅助发明,本身也是一首诗。他不会因为马匹载着他奔向远方就下马步行;他始终在骑。核心是:真正的天才在表达时,既华丽又严密,手段与目的统一,不会因追求局部效果而失去整体控制。做法是:写作时让每个修辞和转折都服务于整体逻辑,不为了漂亮而脱轨。
