The poetical impression of any object is that uneasy, exquisite sense of beauty or power that cannot be contained within itself; that is impatient of all limit; that (as flame bends to flame) strives to link itself to some other image of kindred beauty or grandeur; to enshrine itself, as it were, in the highest forms of fancy, and to relieve the aching sense of pleasure by expressing it in the boldest manner.  William Hazlitt quotes Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth. Soren Kierkegaard quotes Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul. St. Augustine quotes I sat some minutes, lost in my thoughts of the beauty of the place. William Orville Douglas quotes What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth. John Keats quotes An enchanted life has many moments when the heart is overwhelmed with beauty and the imagination is electrified by some haunting quality in the world or by a spirit or voice speaking from deep within a thing, a place, or a person. Enchantment may be a state of rapture and ecstasy in which the soul comes to the foreground, and the literal concerns of survival and daily preoccupation at least momentarily fade into the background. Henry Louis Mencken quotes Beauty is ten, nine of which is dressing. Proverb quotes Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand. Kahlil Gibran quotes He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection. Kahlil Gibran quotes A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror. Kahlil Gibran quotes |
