To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why, then, does he also go on to speak about spectacular effects ? For this gives us the idea that he is talking about something common-place and vulgar, whereas we know that scene can be beautiful, not merely effective — beautiful. The remnants of the scene at Taormina are beautiful. I suppose that Aristotle is speaking of some degenerate form of spectacle, but why does he choose a bad example of scenic art when he wishes to compare it with the fine poetic art ? Is it possible that Aristotle c...ould be unfair } He almost runs it down. If he had spoken of spectacle as an enemy of the art of poetry, and of poetry as an enemy of the art of spectacle, he would have done better, but to put the art of poetry up on a high place and say that that vulgar fellow Spectacle has nothing whatever to do with so exalted a personage is both preposterous and ill-judged. What all this has to do with the picture facing, I don't know ; but as I have left out all the figures from the scene, and as nothing is happening there, ^ Perhaps it is the translators of Aristotle who are to blame.
