  • 4 Si licet parva componere magnis

    Если можно сравнить малое с великим.
    Источник - Вергилий, "Георгики", IV, 176:
    Si párva licét compónere mágnis.
    Этой оговоркой Вергилий сопровождает сравнение усердия пчел, строящих соты, собирающих мед и выращивающих молодое поколение, с работой Киклопов, поддерживающих огонь в подземных глубинах Этны и кующих молнии.
    Близкий вариант у Овидия, описывающего смятение, которое господствовало в его доме в последнюю ночь перед его отправлением в изгнание ("Скорбные элегии", I, 3, 25):
    Sí licet éxemplís in párvo grándibus úti,
    Háec faciés Trojáe, cúm caperétur, erát.
    "Если позволительно в малом пользоваться великими примерами,
    таков был облик Трои в час ее пленения".
    □ В парафразе см. Si tanta licet componere magnis
    Ганземан, купец из Ахена, выразил свое политическое кредо в ставшей впоследствии знаменитой реплике по адресу прусской королевской власти в Соединенном ландтаге 1847 года: "В денежных делах нет места сентиментам". - Эта сентенция, если разрешено parva componere magnis, представляла собой при тогдашних обстоятельствах то же, что знаменитая фраза Сиейеса [ Сиейес, Эмманюэль (1748-1836) - аббат, деятель Великой Французской буржуазной революции. - авт. ]: "Le tiers état c'est tout". [ Третье сословие - это все (фр.) - авт. ] (К. Маркс, Новое министерство.)
    Громадная сенсация, вызванная книгой [Тено, "Париж" ] в Париже и во Франции вообще, свидетельствует о весьма интересном факте, - а именно, что поколение, выросшее при Баденге [ Прозвище Наполеона III, по имени каменщика, в одежде которого он в 1846 году бежал из тюрьмы. - авт. ], абсолютно ничего не знало об истории режима, при котором оно живет. Они теперь протирают глаза и как будто с неба упали. Но, - если можно parva componere magnis, - разве с нами не случалось в некотором роде то же самое? (Он же - Ф. Энгельсу, 14.XII 1868.)
    Действительно ли они [ трудовики и эсэры. - авт. ] соединимы и соединяются? Соединимы безусловно, ибо мелкобуржуазный классовый базис один. Соединялись на деле в первой Думе, и в газетах периода октября, и в газетах периода думского, и в голосованиях среди студенчества (Si licet parva componere magnis - если позволительно сравнить маленькое с большим) (В. И. Ленин, Социал-демократия и избирательные соглашения.)
    Тов. Плеханов ясно видел, когда писал эту статью, что меньшинство представляет из себя оппортунистическое крыло нашей партии и что борется оно средствами анархическими. Тов. Плеханов выступил с проектом - бороться с этим меньшинством путем личных уступок, вроде того (опять-таки si licet parva componere magnis), как немецкая социал-демократия боролась с Бернштейном. (Он же, Шаг вперед, два шага назад.)
    Эта книга ["Дым" ] создала мне много врагов в России, и признаю, что до некоторой степени я это заслужил: мой мизантроп полон горечи, которая, возможно, выражается слишком резко; и все же я думаю, что в конечном счете это может принести пользу, и если мое имя пострадало от этого, ну что ж! Я повторю (si licet parva componere magnis) лозунг людей 93 года. (И. С. Тургенев - Адольфу де Сиркуру. 18.IV 1868.)

  • 5 Si tanta licet componere magnis

    Если столь малое можно сравнить с великим.
    Книга эта - лишь одна сторона медали, она касается всех слоев общества; оборотная сторона этой медали - "Банкирский дом Нусингена". Обе эти истории родились близнецами. Тот, кто прочтет "Цезаря Бирото", должен будет прочесть и "Банкирский дом Нусингена", если хочет понять произведение в целом. Всякое сочинение комического жанра по необходимости имеет двусторонний характер. Писатель, этот великий летописец жизненных столкновений, должен ставить противников лицом к лицу. Альцест, хотя и ясный уже сам по себе, предстает в истинном цвете благодаря филинту. Si tanta licet componere magnis. (Оноре Бальзак. Цезарь Бирото (Предисловие к первому изданию).)
