Quote by Gerard Manley Hopkins

It seems then that it is not the excellence of any two things (or more) in themselves, but those two things as viewed by the light of each other, that makes beauty.


It seems then that it is not the excellence of any two thing

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty is not simply determined by the individual qualities of two or more things, but rather by how they complement and enhance each other when observed together. It implies that the interaction and comparison between these things produces a perception of beauty. In other words, it is the synergy and harmony created through the connection and contrast of different elements that give rise to beauty, rather than their isolated merits.
