“Whether you come from heaven or hell, it doesn’t matter,
O beauty! huge, frightening, ingenuous monster!
If your eye, your mouse, your foot, open the door for me
Of an Infinite I love and have never known?”

“You cares if you come from paradise or hell,
Appalling Beauty, artless and monstrous scourge,
If only your eyes, your smile or your foot reveal
The Infinite I love and have never known?”

(Baudelaire – Hymn to beauty)
