Beauty
Wednesday 27 April 2011
There are many comments on the importance and value of “beauty”
- “a thing of beauty is a joy forever”
- “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
Without attempting a definition, Bertha Bailey concentrates on the passage of beauty from thought to word to action and awareness of the power of beauty in emotion and attitude.
The thought that is beautiful is the thought to cherish. The word that is beautiful is worthy to endure. The act that is beautiful is eternally and always true and right. Only beware that your appreciation of beauty is just and true; and to that end, I urge you to live intimately with beauty of the highest type, until it has become a part of you, until you have within you that finesse, that order, that calm, which puts you in tune with the finest things of the universe, and which links you with that spirit that is the enduring life of the world.
