All forms of
beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of
the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the
absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty
does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed
from the general surface of different beauties. The
particular element in each manifestation comes from the
emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions,
so we have our own beauty.
-- Charles Baudelaire
1821-1867, French Poet
The fragrance
always stays in the hand that gives the rose.

The idea that
happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of
a good thing.
-- Walter Benjamin
