    no forms express motion so well as those of the flame and the gliding, wavy lines of the serpent

    the fundamental principles
  • Вадим Мазурhar citeratför 6 månader sedan
    The principles I mean, are FITNESS, VARIETY, UNIFORMITY, SIMPLICITY, INTRICACY, and QUANTITY;—all which cooperate in the production of beauty, mutually correcting and restraining each other occasionally.

    the beauty of the whole
  • Вадим Мазурhar citeratför 6 månader sedan
    to give an idea of what I mean
  • Вадим Мазурhar citeratför 6 månader sedan
    The shapes and colors of plants, flowers, leaves, the paintings in butterflies’ wings, shells, etc. seem of little other intended use than that of entertaining the eye with the pleasure of variety.

    Observe, that a gradual lessening is a kind of varying that gives beauty. The pyramid diminishing from its basis to its point, and the scroll or volute, gradually lessening to its centre, are beautiful forms. So also objects that only seem to do so, though in fact they do not, have equal beauty: thus perspective views, and particularly those of buildings, are always pleasing to the eye.
