This meditation on beauty, which is practised by true artists and practisable by all others who are sensitive to Nature, can be stretched to a point of full absorption. The meditator is then lost in lovely feelings where the holy trinity of Greek worship--goodness, beauty, and truth--fuse as one. He rises from it as an inspired man. The beautiful object which was outside his body kindled the spirit of beauty inside his heart. The visible led, by adoration and concentration, to the invisible. It is then possible, while this influence lasts, to carry it back again into outer life.
