in meditation is beauty of form,
Beauty moving and shining in meditation is
beauty of life,
Beauty thinking in
meditation is beauty of thought—
The Spirit of beauty is
thus standing, moving and thinking
from the far off beyonds.

Man first sought for the beautiful in the
body of creation draped in all forms.
