To Pray

Beauty
is the word that shall be our first. Beauty is the last thing which the
thinking intellect dares to approach, since only it dances as an uncontained
splendor around the double constellation of the true and the good and their
inseparable relation to one another. Beauty is the disinterested one… Our situation today shows that beauty
demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and
goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her
two sisters without taking them along with herself…. We can be sure that
whoever sneers at her name… can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able
to love.
