"The Beautiful is related to the Good, but distinguishable in that unlike the Good, the Beautiful 'can be laid hold of.' Plato asserts: 'the Good has taken refuge in the Beautiful.' In housing the good, the beautiful, through its own light and radiance, disposes the soul toward it. Through the soul's search for Good, the Beautiful reveals itself. Good is the goal to which Beauty leads."
Ronald Schenk, "The Soul of Beauty"
