Of beauty
Who can precisely give beauty a definition? I don’t think anyone is able to do that.Each person has his own view of beauty.Though the definition cannot come to a unity, it will not bother us about describing beauty.
There is a saying, everybody appreciates his own beauty.For us, to pursuit beauty is a lifelong busine.We search for the beautiful landscapes, the beautiful faces, the beautiful body shapes.Meanwhile, we try our best to find out the beauty in people’s heart, especially of our own.
In Sir Francis Bacon’s famous iue ‘Of beauty’, he pointed out that virtue is the beauty of one’s inner aspect while the appearance is of one’s outer aspect.At last, he said that if people can combine virtue and appearance together then it is the beauty.
What is beauty? Sir Francis Bacon represents beauty.His vision, his thoughts, his works and his virtue are of beauty.Where to find beauty? I think if we use our heart to observe the world then we will find beauty everywhere.
I’d love to find beauty, I search for it everywhere especially in literature.
In our life, we must have read some famous works, in my opinion, that is where full of beauty.
In ‘Pride and Prejudice’, I think Elizabeth shows me beauty.Her manners, her behaviors, her wisdom, her appearance as well as her personality reflect beauty.In ‘The old man and the sea’, the old fisherman is brave, determined and unbending.Through him, I see the beauty of resolute.
We can say that the characters in the works are of certainty.And each one of them can reflect beauty on some aspects.So in literature, I think if we analyze the characters relatively, we will find out the beauty of our taste.
As I have mentioned before, I think the reason we search for beauty is that we want to find out the beauty in our heart.By reading, we not just see what happened in the books, but also try to find out the beauty in our own heart.
I think the beauty showed in literature is about human nature.That is virtue.We all try to be good to other people; we all want to gain the respect from others.How to make it? I think it depends on virtue.Only when others can feel the beauty of our heart then can we gain the respect.
Above all are my opinions of beauty.I think if we keep being good, being kind and behaving virtually, sooner or later we will find out the beauty of our own, so can other people feel it.Just as Sir Francis Bacon says, let’s make virtue shine.
Thank you.
