What Is Beauty?

What is Beauty? Is she Truth? Is she Art?

Or the mean of the Golden Ratio?

Whatsoe'er Beauty is, she does not show

in the proud and haughty, but in the heart

of them where love and charity take part;

she manifests in the wise, who all know

that hatred's a fault we must overthrow

to supersede with the logic of Descartes.

Behold! Beauty's what's perceived in the eyes,

where the beams of grace and intelligence

mingle in proportions none can surmise.

Beauty are lips, from whence comes the eloquence

of a bard, who, like a lark at sunrise,

sings lines rivaled only by spring's magnificence.
