"Die in Venice" sounds more romantic than "Soul in Venice".
The word "yu" indicates the location and the cause, and "died" does not indicate the cause, only the result. "Soul Break" directly shows "I"'s "soul dreaming", and it always feels less romantic. Perhaps, in my opinion, the synonyms of romance include vagueness and ambiguity.
Speaking of the pursuit of beauty, I am more impressed by the portraits of Kinkakuji and Dorian Gray. (of course the reflection in the water of the greek teenager) The artists seem to have a deep obsession with "beauty", I haven't learned anything about aesthetics, so can't make a literary or philosophical about these books and these "beauty" Evaluation.
As far as my personal experience is concerned, I think that beauty is selfish and selfish; people feel inferior in front of beauty.
But from the point of view of life, beauty is also diverse. When we talk about beauty, perhaps we must first determine whether we are talking about "specific beauty" or "generalized beauty". The research on general beauty may be more inclined to the philosophical level, that is, the artistic and spiritual level.
Going back to the "pursuit of beauty", Yukio Mishima, Wilde, Thomas Mann, when they describe the pursuit of beauty, on the one hand, focus on describing beauty with brush and ink, on the other hand, on the pursuer The "obsessed with beauty". Maybe this is what makes people feel beauty from the positive side, but for me, what attracts me more to this book is the "state" of the pursuer's pursuit of beauty. That kind of "illusory enthusiasm" and "emotions that arise out of nowhere" really moved and fell for me. (Of course, I also like beauty)
People's pursuit of beauty is not only "loving beauty", but also "the process of pursuing beauty". Maybe the artist pursues not only beauty, but the pursuit of "creating beauty".
"Genius is divine suffering." The author is not describing natural beauty, because the author is a person first and an artist second. The author uses the "pursuit of beauty" to express his heart, which may be contradictory, clear, confused, or firm.
Art is ambiguous.
