may it not�拭�

     Undoubtedly ��he answered��。 

     Soc。 And do anxiety and relief of mind occasioned by the good or evil 

fortune of those we love both wear the same expression�拭�

     By no means ��he answered���察�at the thought of good we are radiant�察�at 

that of evil a cloud hangs on the brow。 

     Soc。 Then here again are looks with it is possible to represent�拭�

     Parrh。 Decidedly。

     You are right ��he answered��。 

     Soc。 Then these too may be imitated�拭�

     No doubt ��he said��。

´one   on   which   is   imprinted   the   characteristics   of   a   beautiful�察  �good�察  �and

you   give   the   magic   touch   of   life   to   your   creations�察  �which   most   of   all 

allures the soul of the beholder through his sense of vision�拭�

added�此    �Is  it  by   closely   imitating    the   forms    of  living    beings    that  you 

succeed in giving that touch of life to your statues�拭�

     No doubt ��he answered��。 

     Soc。     It  is�察 �is  it  not�察 �by   faithfully    copying     the   various    muscular 

contractions of the body in obedience to the play of gesture and poise�察�the 

wrinklings       of  flesh    and   the   sprawl     of   limbs�察   �the   tensions    and    the 

relaxations�察  �that   you   succeed   in   making   your   statues   like   real   beings

     Cleit。 Without a doubt。 

     Soc。 And does not the faithful imitation of the various affections of the 

body   when       engaged     in   any   action   impart   a   particular   pleasure     to  the 

beholder�拭�

     Cleit。 I should say so。 

     Soc。 Then   the   threatenings   in   the   eyes   of   warriors   engaged   in   battle 

should   be   carefully   copied�察  �or   again   you   should   imitate   the   aspect   of   a 

conqueror radiant with success�拭�

     Cleit。 Above all things。 

     Soc。 It would seem then that the sculptor is called upon to incorporate 

in his ideal form the workings and energies also of the soul�拭�
