If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?
