《人间词话》英译（七十六）

言气质，言神韵，不如言境界。有境界，本也。气质、神韵，末也。有境界而二者随之矣。

It is much more to the point to speak of ching-chieh than of vital force and substance (ch’i-chih) or spirit and tone (shen-yun). To have ching-chieh is basic while the others are secondary. If a poem has ching-chieh the other elements will follow along.
