Quote by Charles Baudelaire
All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.
Summary
This quote suggests that beauty, in all of its various forms, can be seen as a combination of both timeless and temporary elements. It argues that there is no absolute or eternal beauty that exists independently, but rather beauty is a subjective experience derived from the interaction between the eternal and individual emotions. Each person possesses their own unique interpretation of beauty, shaped by their personal emotions, making beauty a subjective and diverse concept.
