Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quest of the Beautiful
Witness Eve, and her lovely elder sister, Lilith. Lilith and her beauty are a legend we would not be with out; she is the glowing mystery that lies back of the beginning of the race. Lilith without beauty would be life without meaning, stars Without light.
Eve, we feel, must have been beautiful or that lovely lost garden east of the sun and West of the moon would not have evolved her as its crowning glory. Envious, creeping Wisdom gliding along the apple branch to drive out beauty, so that men might care only for knowledge, would not have found her worthy of his hate.
Beauty is the shimmering, high answer to the deep hunger of mortals; beauty of living, beauty that is mystery and poetry and faith, beauty of line and color.
