A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read. – The Talmud
Beauty
Straight is the line of duty;
Curved is the line of beauty;
Follow the straight line, thou shalt see
The curved line ever follow thee.
William MacCall
Confessions, X, 27
Too late I loved you, O Beauty so ancient yet ever new! Too late I loved you! And behold, you were within me, and I out of myself, and there I searched for you.
St Augustine
“Some people,” said Buddha, the master, “have accused me of uttering these words:”
“When one attains the release called the Beautiful, and abides therein, at such a time he considers the whole universe as ugly.”
“But I never said these words. This is what I do say:”
“When one attains the release called the Beautiful, at such a time he knows in truth what Beauty is.”
The Samyuta
