Nature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.
But the artist is born to pick, and choose, and group with science, these elements, that the result may be beautiful - as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from chaos glorious harmony.
To say to the painter, that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player, that he may sit on the piano ...
The dignity of the snow-capped mountain is lost in distinctness, but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top. The desire to see, for the sake of seeing, is, with the mass, alone the one to be gratified, hence the delight in detail.
And when the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil, and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanili(钟楼), and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens, and fairy-land is before us - then the wayfarer hastens home; the working man and the cultured one, the wise man and the one of pleasure, cease to understand, as they have ceased to see, and Nature, who, for once, has sung in tune, sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master - her son in that he loves her, her master in that he knows her.
To him her secrets are unfolded; to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at her flower, not with the enlarging lens, that he may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies.
He does not confine himself to purposeless copying, without thought, each blade of grass, as commended by the inconsequent, but, in the long curve of the narrow leaf, corrected by the straight tall stem, he learns how grace is wedded to dignity, how strength enhances sweetness, that elegance shall be the result.
In the citron wing of the pale butterfly, with its dainty spots of orange, he sees before him the stately halls of fair gold, with their slender saffron pillars, and is taught how the delicate drawing high upon the walls shall be traced in tender tones of orpiment(雄黄), and repeated by the base in notes of graver hue.
In all that is dainty and lovable he finds hints for his own combinations, and thus is Nature ever his resource and always at his service, and to him is naught refused.
Through his brain, as through the last alembic, is distilled the refined essence of that thought which began with the Gods, and which they left him to carry out.
Set apart by them to complete their works, he produces that wondrous thing called the masterpiece, which surpasses in perfection all that they have contrived in what is called Nature; and the Gods stand by and marvel, and perceive how far away more beautiful is the Venus of Melos than was their own Eve.

人类只有一个地球,同处一个世界。各国应当齐心协力,精心呵护地球家园,共同推进全球治理。为此,中国国家主席习近平提出构建人类命运共同体重大理念,以及高质量共建“一带一路”、全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议,为应对人类共同挑战提供新方案,为建设美好世界绘就新蓝图。中国主张:一是要建设和平安宁的未来。当今世界变乱交织,风险挑战层出不穷,没有任何一个国家能够独善其身。国际社会加强团结合作不是选择题,而是必答题。各国应秉持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观,以对话解争端、以协商化分歧、以合作促安全。大国尤其要作出表率,以计利天下的大胸怀打破地缘政治小圈子,以立己达人的大格局超越冲突对抗小集团,做世界团结的“推进器”、国际和平的“压舱石”。二是要建设发展繁荣的未来。世界发展到今天,各国不是乘坐在190多条小船上,而是乘坐在一条命运与共的大船上。小船经不起风浪,巨舰才能顶住惊涛骇浪。各国要共享发展机遇,谋求合作共赢。要坚持以人民为中心的发展思想,推动普惠包容的经济全球化,让人民享有发展成果,让各国实现共同繁荣。片面追求赢者通吃,只会满盘皆输;执迷打造“小院高墙”,只会禁锢自己、割裂世界。三是要建设公道正义的未来。各国无论大小、强弱,都是国际社会平等一员。国际上的事情要由各国商量着办。要推动平等有序的世界多极化,维护以联合国为核心的国际体系、以国际法为基础的国际秩序、以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则。要强化国际法治权威,抵制恃强凌弱的丛林法则,反对单边制裁等霸权行径,维护发展中国家正当权益,推动国际关系民主化,捍卫国际公平正义。
