On Art and Artists(六)

字號(hào):

     These are the idiots' chiefest arts:
     To blend and not define the parts
     The swallow sings, in courts of kings,
     That fools have their high finishings.
     And this the princes' golden rule,
     The laborious stumble of a fool.
     To make out the parts is the wise man's aim,
     But to loose them the fool makes his foolish game.
