11 a counsel of perfection

прекрасный, но невыполнимый совет [этим. библ. Matthew XIX, 21]

Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul. This is a counsel of perfection and in an imperfect world a certain indulgence should be bestowed on the professional writer; but this surely is the aim he should keep before him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Summing Up’, ch. 48) — Каждое произведение художника должно быть выражением чего-то глубоко им пережитого. Это - в идеале. В нашем же несовершенном мире профессиональный писатель заслуживает некоторого снисхождения, но стремиться к этому идеалу он должен всегда.

Every Englishman who is interested in any branch of his native literature, and who respects himself, ought to own a comprehensive and inclusive library of English literature... You may suppose that this counsel is a counsel of perfection. It is not. (A. Bennett, ‘Literary Taste’, ch. X) — Каждому англичанину, который интересуется отечественной литературой и уважает себя, следует иметь личную, подобранную по своему вкусу библиотеку английских авторов... Вы, вероятно, думаете, что это просто благое пожелание. Но оно вполне осуществимо.
