it is my read

Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. Take away the tied tendons that all seem bursting from the marble in the carved Hercules, and its charm would be gone.

真正的力量不但不破坏美或和谐， 它往往会增强它； 对任何一个绝伦之美， 力量本身即为魔力的一部分。 如果将Hercules大理石雕塑身躯上鼓涨的筋络去掉， 雕塑的魅力将不复存在。
