Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God
and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.

Robert Bridges

For beauty being the best of all we know
Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims
Of nature.

Robert Bridges

Scatter the clouds that hide
The face of heaven, and show
Where sweet peace doth abide,
Where Truth and Beauty grow.

Robert Bridges

Beauty is the highest of all these occult influences,
the quality of appearances that thru' the sense
wakeneth spiritual emotion in the mind of man.

Robert Bridges

And now impatiently despairest, see
How nought is changed: Joy's wisdom is attired
Splended for others' eyes if not for thee:
Not love or beauty or youth from earth is fled:
If they delite thee not, 'tis thou art dead.
