More on Beauty

True beauty dwells in deep retreats,
Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.
The great artists are the ones who dare to entitle to beauty things so natural that when they're seen afterward, people say: Why did I never realize before that this too was beautiful?
Beauty itself doth of itself persuade
The eyes of men without an orator.
To the artist, to the musician, is given the task of creating and expressing beauty--of sensitizing the souls of men.
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," — that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
When beauty fires the blood, how love exalts the mind!
