“The truth is like poetry, and most people fucking hate poetry” - Overheard in a Washington D.C. bar by Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short
Beauty=Truth
Beauty is Truth If it is true it is beautiful If it is beautiful it is truth
The poet understands this.
Beauty IS Truth
That which is True is Beautiful
Ugliness is its own proof of a lack of goodness, truth, harmony,
Our culture is so ugly, because the spirit is so dead
music, movies, fashion, pornography, buildings/architecture….. We are a culture that does not recognize or value beauty
Beauty will save the world
“Beauty will save the world, I don’t know how, but it will.”
- Zan Perrion
"The state of the world calls out for poetry to save it."
- Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
