Keats:
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty.'
---
Huxley:
The experience of beauty in art or in nature may be qualitatively akin to the immediate, unitive experience of the divine Ground or Godhead;
but it is not the same as that experience,
and the particular beauty-fact experienced, though partaking in some sort of the divine nature, is at several removes from the Godhead.
The poet, the nature lover, the aesthete are granted apprehensions of Reality analogous to those vouchsafed to the selfless contemplative;
but because they have not troubled to make themselves perfectly selfless, they are incapable of knowing the divine Beauty in its fullness, as it is in itself.
