Beauty

There is only beauty behind me.

Only beauty before me.

Cree Song

According to Dionysus , beauty is order: symmetry with supreme lucidity.' Beauty being archetypal order, is begotten intellectually, not calculated empirically, and the language of symbols is consequently precise, not arbitrary - a matter of truths not tasks. In beauty is found the harmonious symmetry between being and knowing, love and knowledge.
