Aquinas
,
said
Stephen
,
says
that
is
beautiful
the
apprehension
of
which
pleases
.
Lynch
nodded
.
--
I
remember
that
,
he
said
,
PULCRA
SUNT
QUAE
VISA
PLACENT
.
--
He
uses
the
word
VISA
,
said
Stephen
,
to
cover
esthetic
apprehensions
of
all
kinds
,
whether
through
sight
or
hearing
or
through
any
other
avenue
of
apprehension
.
This
word
,
though
it
is
vague
,
is
clear
enough
to
keep
away
good
and
evil
which
excite
desire
and
loathing
.
It
means
certainly
a
stasis
and
not
a
kinesis
.
How
about
the
true
?
It
produces
also
a
stasis
of
the
mind
.
You
would
not
write
your
name
in
pencil
across
the
hypotenuse
of
a
right-angled
triangle
.
--
No
,
said
Lynch
,
give
me
the
hypotenuse
of
the
Venus
of
Praxiteles
.
--
Static
therefore
,
said
Stephen
.
Plato
,
I
believe
,
said
that
beauty
is
the
splendour
of
truth
.
I
do
n't
think
that
it
has
a
meaning
,
but
the
true
and
the
beautiful
are
akin
.
Truth
is
beheld
by
the
intellect
which
is
appeased
by
the
most
satisfying
relations
of
the
intelligible
;
beauty
is
beheld
by
the
imagination
which
is
appeased
by
the
most
satisfying
relations
of
the
sensible
.
The
first
step
in
the
direction
of
truth
is
to
understand
the
frame
and
scope
of
the
intellect
itself
,
to
comprehend
the
act
itself
of
intellection
.
Aristotle
's
entire
system
of
philosophy
rests
upon
his
book
of
psychology
and
that
,
I
think
,
rests
on
his
statement
that
the
same
attribute
can
not
at
the
same
time
and
in
the
same
connexion
belong
to
and
not
belong
to
the
same
subject
.
The
first
step
in
the
direction
of
beauty
is
to
understand
the
frame
and
scope
of
the
imagination
,
to
comprehend
the
act
itself
of
esthetic
apprehension
.
Is
that
clear
?
--
But
what
is
beauty
?
asked
Lynch
impatiently
.
Out
with
another
definition
.
Something
we
see
and
like
!
Is
that
the
best
you
and
Aquinas
can
do
?
--
Let
us
take
woman
,
said
Stephen
.
--
Let
us
take
her
!
said
Lynch
fervently
.
--
The
Greek
,
the
Turk
,
the
Chinese
,
the
Copt
,
the
Hottentot
,
said
Stephen
,
all
admire
a
different
type
of
female
beauty
.
That
seems
to
be
a
maze
out
of
which
we
can
not
escape
.
I
see
,
however
,
two
ways
out
.
One
is
this
hypothesis
:
that
every
physical
quality
admired
by
men
in
women
is
in
direct
connexion
with
the
manifold
functions
of
women
for
the
propagation
of
the
species
.
It
may
be
so
.
The
world
,
it
seems
,
is
drearier
than
even
you
,
Lynch
,
imagined
.
For
my
part
I
dislike
that
way
out
.
It
leads
to
eugenics
rather
than
to
esthetic
.
It
leads
you
out
of
the
maze
into
a
new
gaudy
lecture-room
where
MacCann
,
with
one
hand
on
THE
ORION
OF
SPECIES
and
the
other
hand
on
the
new
testament
,
tells
you
that
you
admired
the
great
flanks
of
Venus
because
you
felt
that
she
would
bear
you
burly
offspring
and
admired
her
great
breasts
because
you
felt
that
she
would
give
good
milk
to
her
children
and
yours
.
--
Then
MacCann
is
a
sulphur-yellow
liar
,
said
Lynch
energetically
.
