I believe Beauty is the condition of the perfect life, just as important as Virtue and Truth.

Incense smokes, and love takes care,
In her blue bed the virgin died;
The fire broods, the day falls,
The Angel, sisters, knocks on the door.

Sonorous immensity of the seas of Harmony
Where dreams like ships that shake in the profound,
Voyage to the unknown, their sails bent to infinity,
Billowing with anguish in the gusts of Sound.
