5 quotes

Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God
and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.

The Testament of Beauty (1929)

For beauty being the best of all we know
Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims
Of nature.

Verily by Beauty it is that we come at Wisdom,
yet not by Reason at Beauty.

The Testament of Beauty (1929)

Beauty is the highest of all these occult influences,
the quality of appearances that thru' the sense
wakeneth spiritual emotion in the mind of man.

The Testament of Beauty (1929)

Scatter the clouds that hide
The face of heaven, and show
Where sweet peace doth abide,
Where Truth and Beauty grow.
