10 Definitions of Beauty
For school, we had to write ten definitons of beauty based off this:
TEN DEFINITIONS OF POETRY
Carl Sandburg
1. Poetry is a projection across silence of cadences arranged to break that silence with definite intentions of echoes, syllables, wave lengths.
2. Poetry is the journal of a sea animal living on land, wanting to fly the air.
3. Poetry is a series of explanations of life, fading off into horizons too swift for explanations.
4. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable.
5. Poetry is a theorem of a yellow-silk handkerchief knotted with riddles, sealed in a balloon tied to the tail of a kite flying in a white wind against a blue sky in spring.
6. Poetry is the silence and speech between a wet struggling root of a flower and a sunlit blossom of that flower.
7. Poetry is the harnessing of the paradox of earth cradling life and then entombing it.
8. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
9. Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.
10. Poetry is the opening and closening of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment.
-------
And so I thought I'd share my ten definitions of beauty. I was actually kind of disappointd with my result, but oh well, you have a look and tell me what you think.
TEN DEFINITIONS OF BEAUTY
Victoria
1. Beauty is an unexpected sunrise, radiant as it bounds along the edge of the Earth.
2. Beauty is those blissful moments that transcend space, time, and feeling and go on to exist entirely alone.
3. Beauty is a pure blanket covering the world in wintertime.
4. Beauty is the tiny buds of coming flowers of the imminent spring.
5. Beauty is the heat of the summer; scorching, and raw, and real.
6. Beauty is the first chilled winds of not-quite autumn, in the space that is somewhere after summer but ahead of fall.
7. Beauty is a golden ladder that illuminates the depths of a nighttime Hell and tempts you to climb towards heaven.
8. Beauty is the mistaken fork in the road that sends you to the perfectly wrong place.
9. Beauty is the impeccable roundness of an apple with green stretched over one side, and red splashed upon the other.
10. Beauty is the empty canvas of time still left to use.
