The Persian parable tells the story of a poet who embarked on a journey around the world in order to find beauty and comprehend what it is. He set off on the journey as a young man, spent his whole life on the road, in search, but only before his death he seemed to know what he had been striving for for many years. Being a gray-haired and weak old man, he died of hunger and want, ascended to heaven. The daughter of Nature met him there in the guise of a young maiden, gently ran her hands through her hair, patiently listened to the old poet.
- With my life and death I conjure, - the old man begged, - tell me, what is beauty? After all, people define and cognize it in different ways, glorify and love it in different ways!
And the maiden answered:
— Beauty is what you have an attraction for in your soul; what you see and would like to give, not take; what bodies consider a test and souls a blessing is a union between sadness and joy. Beauty is what you see, although it is hidden from your eyes, what you recognize, although you do not know, what you hear, although it is dumb.
The poet died alone, but his soul repeated:
— Beauty is what you see and would like to give, not take.
For beauty! For wonderful people in whose hearts beauty lives!
