Lesson 24 Beauty
First listen and then answer the following question.
What do glimpses of beauty, either in nature or art,
often suggest to the human mind?
A young man sees a sunset and,
unable to unde-rstand or to express the emotion
that it rouses in him,concludes
that it must be the gateway to a world that lies beyond.
It is difficult for any of us
in moments of intense aes-thetic experie-nce
to resist the suggestion
that we are cat-ching a glimpse of a light
that shines down to us from a different realm of existence,
different and,because the exp-erience is inte-nsely moving,
in some way higher.
And, though the gleams blind and dazzle,
yet do they con-vey a hint of beauty and serenity
greater than we have known or imagined.
Greater too than we can describe;for language,
which was inven-ted to convey the meanings of this world,
cannot readily be fitted to the uses of another.
That all great art has this po-wer of suggesti-ng
a world beyond is undeniable.In some moods,
Nature shares it.There is no sky in June so blue
that it does not point forward to a bluer,
no sunset so beautiful that it does not waken the vision
of a greater beauty,
a vision which passes before it is fully glimpsed,
and in passing leaves an indef-inable longing and regret.
But, if this wo-rld is not mere-ly a bad joke,
life a vulgar flare amid the cool radiance of the stars,
and existence an empty laugh braying across the mysteries;
if these intima-tions of a something behind
and beyond are not evil humour born of indiges-tion,
or whimsies sent by the devil to mock and madden us, if ,
in a word, bea-uty means some-thing,
yet we must not seek to interpret the meaning.
If we glimpse the unutterable,
it is unwise to try to to utter it,
nor should we seek to invest with significa-nce
that which we cannot grasp.
Beauty in terms of our human meanings is meaningless.
