Beauty and Form - ZaunköniG - 30.07.2007 Beauty and Form Once Donatello took the shapeless stone And slowly carved the marble to the line, Until he wrought a human form as fine As Greece or Italy had ever known; Behold a woman now in splendor lone, A statue only but a thing divine; A beauty that this earth cannot outshine Whose Art antique the world has not outgrown. And so the poet takes a shapeless thought And gives its fancies grace and melody, Until he feels he has perfection wrought Where Thought and Music blending happily Create the Beauty that all time has sought, Where perfect form is immortality. |
