Beauty - be not caused - It Is - (Dickinson)


Beauty — be not caused — It Is –
Chase it, and it ceases –
Chase it not, and it abides –

Overtake the Creases

In the Meadow — when the Wind
Runs his fingers thro' it –
Deity will see to it
That You never do it –

-- Emily Dickinson

A poem that struck me.

Beauty "Is" - it's not caused. And we can try to chase it - we should try to chase it - but we will never catch it. But still, chase it!

Pax et bonum
