MORAL BEAUTIES MORE DELIGHTFUL THAN SENSE-BEAUTIES.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
To see these beauties, they must be contemplated by the faculty our soul has received; then, while contemplating them, we shall experience far more pleasure, astonishment and admiration, than in contemplation of the sense-beauties, because we will have the intuition of veritable beauties. The sentiments inspired by beauty are admiration, a gentle charm, desire, love, and a pleasurable impulse.
