Beauty is a thing of might and dread. Like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us.

About This Quote

Beauty is a thing of might and dread.Like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us. Think of beauty as a storm. Beauty blows and we get caught up in it’s power and we can feel its intensity, but not always know where it comes from.
