Aesthetics of a Small Theatre
Don’t bring a horse
Into a small theatre
But, if you must,
Put it on stage.

带进一个小剧场
但，如果你非做不可，
就置它于舞台上。

It happens to you.

这个不会发生：
你碰巧撞上。
Aesthetics of Lorca
Federico Garcia Lorca stands alone
Luna, typewriter, plantain tree, and dust
The moon is watching him. It is watching over him.

Feel fine
Then go away.

Don’t wake the clown
Or he may knock you down.

Silence is not everything.
It is half of everything
Like a house.

就像一幢房子。

But a mule hitched to the times?

什么是美学家
只是拴在了时代上的一头骡子？
