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.
