"All moral impulses, all feelings of goodness,all grace and truth, are but shadows cast
from the dance of life; shadows cast, as
Shelley said in his great poem, by the
light of intellectual beauty."

Thought for Tuesday
Sir Herbert Read (1893-1968) wrote a lot about art and aesthetics in addition to producing several volumes of poetry. I think this quote reflects each of those pursuits:
"All moral impulses, all feelings of goodness,
all grace and truth, are but shadows cast
from the dance of life; shadows cast, as
Shelley said in his great poem, by the
light of intellectual beauty."
