The Beauty of Things

The beauty of things -
Is in the beholder's brain - the human mind's translation
of their transhuman
Intrinsic value.
...as mathematics, a human invention
That parallels but never touches reality, gives the astronomer
Metaphors through which he may comprehend
The powers and the flow of things: so the human sense
Of beauty is our metaphor of their excellence, their divine
nature: - like dust in a whirlwind, making
The wild wind visible.

-Robinson Jeffers
