“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. Are these methods limit our definitions of truth and therefore of beauty?
