Love & Beauty
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites
the sensitive soul to tears.
--Edgar Allan Poe
Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern
or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow
or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our
sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best.
--D. H. Lawrence
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every
truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there
is a heart somewhere to receive it.
--Ivan Panin
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.
--St. Augustine
How many loved your moments of glad grace.
And loved your beauty with love false or true.
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
--W.B. Yeats (The Countess Kathleen)
