这位批评家绝对是一位天才。他就像舞台上的演员一样,化身在他的脑海中,就像演员体现在他自己的身上,体现在另一个人的作品中一样。只有这样,他才能理解艺术、认识艺术、认识艺术。到了这里,他的任务就完成了。
(The critic is a genius at one remove; he is not unlike an actor on the stage, and incarnates in his mind, as the actor embodies in his person, another's work; only thus does he understand art, realize it, know it; and having arrived at this, his task is done.)
