悲剧的诞生The Birth Of Tragedy 第47期:何为"希腊的乐观"  

After an energetic attempt to focus on the sun we have
by way of remedy almost
dark spots before our eyes when we turn away.
Conversely
the luminous images of the Sophoclean heroes--those Apollinian masks--are the necessary productions of a deep look into the horror of nature;
luminous spots
as it were
designed to cure an eye hurt by the ghastly night.
他们仿佛是用来治疗久居恐怖黑夜而至失明的眼睛的光点。
Only in this way can we form an adequate notion of the seriousness of Greek "serenity";
whereas we find that serenity generally misinterpreted nowadays as a condition of undisturbed placence.
Sophocles conceived doomed Oedipus the greatest sufferer of the Greek stage

as a pattern of nobility
destined to error and misery despite his wisdom

yet exercising a beneficent influence upon his environment in virtue of his boundless grief.
