beauty and, as truth
a projection of feeling
in terms of idea
Part of the Mencken Project.
Adapted from the line:
The only permanent values in the world are truth and beauty, and of these it is probable that truth is lasting only in so far as it is a function and manifestation of beauty—a projection of feeling in terms of idea.
From Damn! A Book of Calumny, XXXVII, On Hearing Mozart, by HL Mencken, 1918
