Beauty, Love... Which one needs the other most?

[vagabond]

 Forget definition: as love grows to reach its ideal state, so beauty becomes undefined, subsuming all good things in its wake. And what is love's ideal state, if not God?

...love in its imperfect state needs beauty, just as beauty in its dynamic state needs love -- but in their ideal states, Love needs not anything at all, while beauty, remaining a concept fundamentally tied to the created world, begins to need Love, albeit in a manner that surpasses the question. A manner, perhaps, that could only be expressed through another term: grace.

yes, amen to that.
