[00:01.49] Lesson 24
[00:03.72] Beauty
[00:11.42] What do glimpses of beauty, either in nature or art,
[00:15.41] often suggest to the human mind?
[00:20.11] A young man sees a sunset and,
[00:22.89] unable to understand or to express the emotion that it rouses in him,
[00:27.30] concludes that it must be the gateway to a world that lies beyond
[00:32.45] It is difficult for any of us in moments of intense aesthetic experience
[00:37.56] to resist the suggestion that we are catching a glimpse of a light
[00:42.21] that shines down to us from a different realm of existence, different and,
[00:47.75] because the experience is intensely moving, in some way higher.
[00:52.84] And, though the gleams blind and dazzle, yet do they convey a hint of beauty and serenity
[00:59.31] greater than we have known or imagined. Greater too than we can describe;
[01:05.40] for language, which was invented to convey the meanings of this world
[01:09.93] cannot readily be fitted to the uses of another.
[01:14.60] That all great art has this power of suggesting a world beyond is undeniable.
[01:21.65] In some moods, nature shares it.
[01:24.88] There is no sky in June so blue that it does not point forward to a bluer,
[01:30.55] no sunset so beautiful that it does not waken the vision of a greater beauty,
[01:36.33] a vision which passes before it is fully glimpsed,
[01:41.00] and in passing leaves an indefinable longing and regret.
[01:45.80] But, if this world is not merely a bad joke,
[01:48.94] life a vulgar flare amid the cool radiance of the stars,
[01:53.14] and existence an empty laugh braying across the mysteries;
[01:57.82] if these intimations of a something behind and beyond
[02:02.10] are not evil humour born of indigestion,
[02:05.16] or whimsies sent by the devil to mock and madden us, if, in a word
[02:11.75] beauty means something yet we must not seek to interpret the meaning.
[02:17.88] If we glimpse the unutterable, it is unwise to try to utter it,
[02:23.05] nor should we seek to invest with significance that which we cannot grasp.
[02:28.86] Beauty in terms of our human meanings is meaningless.
