Beauty is like food and medicine. It treats a soul from wounds of chaotic life and overwhelming evil. It overcomes evil and destruction, starting life over and over upon dead bodies. Your eye may be clean, and your body enlightened when you see the divine life and beauty despite any pressure of darkness.
