In order to succeed in this intent, it is necessary to take as model the great culture of art, and also to be gifted with a well-tempered and artistic nature. And these are not to be confined to sterile imitation, but are for the purpose of accumulating the rich material of dramatic erudition, so that one may present oneself before the audiences as an original and artistic individuality.英文原著 · 《Autobiographies》
The contemptible meanness and selfishness of jealousy were never exhibited with greater power, than they are exhibited in this short monologue -- a power largely due to the artistic treatment.

The piecing his been beautifully done; it is covered with gilt and with brilliant paint; the whole result is most artistic. But the spell of the old mor- tuary figures is broken, and it will never work again. Meanwhile the monuments are immensely decorative.英文原著 · 《A Little Tour In France》
