Расчленение Красоты
of Persian saddle-bags
on which he was lying,
smoking,
as was his custom,
innumerable cigarettes,
Lord Henry Wotton
could just catch
the gleam
of the honey-sweet
and honey-coloured
blossoms of laburnum,
whose tremulous branches
seemed hardly able
to bear
the burden
of a beauty
so flame-like
as theirs,
and now and then
the fantastic shadows of birds in flight
flitted
across the long tussore-silk curtains
that were stretched in front of the huge window,
producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect,
and making him think of those pallid jade-faced painters of Tokio, who
,
through the medium of an art
that is necessarily immobile,
seek to convey the the sense, of swiftness and motion.
saddle - cедло, сидалище
