专家说明

'...a swan is invariably the result of adherence to some aesthetic system of thought, a code transposed into a self-portrait. This is why certain women, while not truly beautiful, can occasionally provide the swan illusion: their inner vision of themselves is so fixed, decorated with such clever outer artifice, that we surrender to their claim...classic specimen...Mme. Agnelli [is] the European swan numero uno.' Truman Capote (Observations, p. 29)
