“The world becomes more dangerous
As U.S. governance becomes more frivolous”
而且第二行还是庄严的亚历山大体:
As U.S. governance | becomes more frivolous
可惜第一行不是 :-)
(想起来N年前写的一个东西里不小心有两行“亚历山大”,还好没逃过 editor 的眼睛,被彻底“返璞归真” :-))
说到教主的“preferred aesthetic”,想起来 Speer 同学回忆录(Inside the 3rd Reich)里数次说到的他那个时代被同样热情膜拜的那位教主的“preferred aesthetic”:
“Up to the end Hitler lauded the architects and the buildings which had served him as models for his early sketches. Among these was the Paris Opera... . He raved about the Vienna Opera... . Such were Hitler's architectural passions. But ultimately he was always drawn back to inflated neobaroque... . Thus, in the realm of architecture, as in painting and sculpture, Hitler really remained arrested in the world of his youth: the world of 1880 to 1910, which stamped its imprint on his artistic taste as on his political and ideological conceptions.”
当然还有:
“I found Hitler's excitement rising whenever I could show him that at least in size we had "beaten" the other great buildings of history.”
“Hitler's demand for huge dimensions, however, involved more than he was willing to admit to the workers. He wanted the biggest of everything to glorify his works and magnify his pride. These monuments were an assertion of his claim to world dominion long before he dared to voice any such intention even to his closest associates.”
