Quote by Robert Herrick

Art quickens nature; care will make a face; Neglected beauty perisheth apace.

Art quickens nature; care will make a face; Neglected beauty

Summary

This quote suggests that art has the power to bring life and energy to nature. Additionally, it implies that neglecting beauty, whether it be in nature or in the physical appearance of a person, will cause it to wither and fade away. Care and attention are therefore crucial to preserving and appreciating the true essence of beauty, both in the natural world and in oneself.
