The Flight From Beauty

Beauty is a value as important as truth or goodness. The loss of the virtues of truth and goodness has been accompanied by a flight from beauty. Things of beauty can provide consolation in sorrow and affirmation in joy. We can look on the worlds of art, architecture, poetry, and music and know that there is a real difference between the sacrilegious, with which we are alone and troubled, and the beautiful, with which we are in company and at home. Paraphrase, Beauty, Roger Scruton (1944 – 2020)
