The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.

  • -- Cyril Connolly 西里尔·康诺利

有一天,这位艺术家从荆棘上的一个洞里掉了下去,从那一刻起,他就沿着一条地下河的黑色急流前进。
