Sweetness Of Love 8.22.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

Education in beauty is the most important
part of our earthly lives, yet it is not the eye,
but the soul that sees – when we look with
the immortal spirit, we shall discern the
difference between beauty and ugliness

based on underlying structures; discordant
sounds made randomly becomes a cacophony
representing hellish punishments, listening
to certain kinds of modern music

Creates a wish to return to the soothing sounds
of the classics; all things beautiful follow the
magic of the Golden Section, proportion is
everything, the sweetness of love confers
the above attributes to everyone…
