Por belleza, designaría yo lo que parece completo. Lo incompleto o lo mutilado es totalmente feo. A la Venus de Milo, un niño la encontraría fea. Si un espíritu puro la imagina completa, se convertiría en bella. Una mano concebida como mano puede parecer bella. Abandonada en un campo de batalla, deja de serlo. Pero todo lo que nos rodea es parte de una cosa que a su vez es parte de otra: en este mundo no hay nada bello; sólo las apariencias son intermedias entre la belleza y la fealdad. Sólo es completa la universalidad, sólo es bello el completo.

I had used all except peach labels. I pasted the peach labels on peach cans, and then came to apricots. Well, aren't apricots peaches? And there are plums that are virtually apricots. I went on, either mischievously, or scientifically, pasting the peach labels on cans of plums, cherries, string beans, and succotash. I can't quite define my motive, because to this day it has not been decided whether I am a humourist or a scientist. I think that it was mischief, but, as we go along, there will come a more respectful recognition that also it was scientific procedure.
