“Was Somebody asking to see the soul?
See, your own shape and countenance…”
Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass
Please discuss one or two of the following statements:
1. When viewing a work of art, or listening to one, can we see the truth? Can we feel it?
2. Medieval artists resorted to Geometry to express a spiritual truth, and Baroque composers built their cannon on a mathematical symmetry. Do these methods limit our definitions of truth and therefore of beauty?
