Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.

Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.

现代性是短暂的，稍纵即逝的，偶然的;它是艺术的一半，另一半是永恒的、不可改变的。

-- Charles Baudelaire 查尔斯·波德莱尔
