"Beauty has an older claim on us than does time: beauty was there in the beginning before time was conceived; it was inherent in the originating Word, the idea and its pronouncement." CLM
I am particularly struck by this quote on this latest reading because I'm reading Gadamer's Truth and Method, and Arendt's Life of the Mind at the same time. They all advocate the primacy of beauty (though other aspects of their ontologies conflict).
