Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight, but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations so words and in all kinds of music; for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues.
PlotinusAnd this is the life of the Gods, and of Godlike men, a life without love of the world, a flight of the Alone to the Alone.
PlotinusWe must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing...a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.
Plotinus
