Invisible boy and here we see the invisible boy in his lovely invisible house, feeding a piece of invisible cheese to a little invisible mouse. oh, what a beautiful picture to see! will you draw an invisible picture for me?
Beautiful Boys House
The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.
Mother Running Children
Ugliness is more inventive than beauty. beauty always follows certain camps. i think it's more amusing - ugliness - than beauty.
Thinking Amusing Certain
Beauty is, in some way, boring. even if its concept changes through the ages... a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. a beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like god.
Beautiful Eagles Elephants
I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. i hated the sunsets of whatever colour, i hated its beauty and its magic and the secret i would never know. i hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. above all i hated her. for she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. she had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what i had lost before i found it.

The word of god came down to man as rain to soil, and the result was mud, not clear water. (bistami) pg. 128

... women have their roots in the ground, and often those roots are starved and ravaged, yet there is not a human alive who cannot reach and touch, with... her fingers, the very top of god's rainbow.
Roots Rainbow Alive
It was the magic hour, the moment in time when every leaf and blade of grass seemed to separate, when sunlight, burnished by the rain and softened by the coming night, gave the world an impossibly beautiful glow.
