People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
人们有时会谈论野兽般的残忍,但这是对野兽的极大不公正和侮辱;野兽永远不可能像男人那样残忍,在艺术上如此残忍。老虎只会流泪和啃咬,这就是他能做的。他永远不会想到把人钉在耳边,即使他能做到。
