What tragedy depicts is one dike in conflict with another, a law that is not fixed, shifting and changing into its opposite.

悲剧描写的是一一，法定，变幻莫测。

And to know that everything around and underneath had been from prehistoric times as unaltered as the stars overhead, gave ballast to the mind adrift on change, and harassed by the irrepressible New.

同时知道，周围上下的一切，跟天上的繁星一，从史前时期以来就未曾有过变动，这时候，随着人世变幻无常而定的心灵小船就有了压舱石，因无法制止的日新月异而受到困扰的心思就镇定下来。
