When truth and beauty come together and become one, there is the highest æstheic wonder and exquisiteness and joy. Can art aim at that? Art, in any case, has to be first the discovery and revelation of Beauty. Deeper it goes with that discovery greater is its fulfilment. It is then that it can meet the truth which is the foundation for all creative realisations.
In the terrestrial enterprise beauty and wonder in their joy have to disturb the fields of God. There is then the perfection of expressive form, there is the discovery of beauty, there is the revelation of the soul and essence of things and the powers of creative consciousness and delight, a vibrancy that is pulsating, a harmony of exquisiteness. In that triple movement is the glorious merit of artistic objective.
In it a new art is born. Poetry takes surprising wings which create their own sky of beauty’s truth that is also truth’s beauty. There is the intensity of delight shaping them.
A great luminous power of revelation is released by poetry when it becomes, paradoxically, the speech of sight and the image of sound seen and heard with subtle senses attuned to invisible and inaudible perceptions of things that are eager to take form of some flaming beauty in a body of truth borne by the authentic delight of a splendorous urge.
