A man is a poet if difficulties inherent in his art provide him with ideas; he is not a poet if they deprive him of ideas.

A man is a poet if difficulties inherent in his art provide him with ideas; he is not a poet if they deprive him of ideas.

如果艺术中固有的困难能给人以灵感，那么人就是诗人;如果他们剥夺了他的思想，他就不是诗人。

-- Paul Valery 保尔·瓦雷里
