Writing Love
"I will now initiate you, she said, into the greater mysteries; for he who would proceed in due course should love first one fair form, and then many, and learn the connection of them; and from beautiful bodies he should proceed to beautiful minds, and the beauty of laws and institutions, until he perceives that all beauty is of one kindred; and from institutions he should go on to the sciences, until at last the vision is revealed to him of a single science of universal beauty, and then he will behold the everlasting nature which is the cause of all, and will be near the end. In the contemplation of that supreme being of love he will be purified of earthly leaven, and will behold beauty, not with the bodily eye, but with the eye of the mind, and will bring forth true creations of virtue and wisdom, and be the friend of God and heir of immortality."

Off Topic
“So, what’s situational irony, guys?” They always look terrified or enraged when I ask them direct questions about something they’re supposed to have read. The terror I understand: they hate being “put on the spot,” as though that ought never to happen to anyone. The world should be so safe and comfortable that no one ought to ask you a serious question and expect you to muster a serious answer. You know, actual evidence that you have a thought about the matter and can clearly articulate that thought, at a minimum. If you can do so artfully, that’s ambrosia.
