In things to be seen at once, much variety makes confusion, another vice of beauty. In things that are not seen at once, and have no respect one to another, great variety is commendable, provided this variety transgress not the rules of optics and geometry.

  • -- Christopher Wren 克里斯托弗·雷恩

在马上要看到的事物中,多样性使混乱成为美的另一种恶习。在那些看不见的、彼此不尊重的事物中,巨大的变化是值得称赞的,只要这种变化不违反光学和几何学的规则。
