Beauty and freedom
To define is
 to limit, says Oscar Wilde
 To define what's beautiful
 is to limit beauty
 
 Beauty never ends
 Beauty is a new form of
 Freedom
 
 Freedom never ends
 Freedom is a new form of
 Beauty.
 
 Beauty exists
 not in things and events, chained
 to design
 to pattern
 to assonance
 
 Beauty exists
 Where there is freedom
 Where there are fresh, endless planes
 Where there are nightskies, unlimited by the horizon
 Where there are oceans, which nature permits
 the free flowing of
 dynamic energy
 in their blue veins
 Where there is the universe, the perception of whose magnitude
 man cannot bring in mind.
 
 There exists beauty
 Where there is either great space
 or a great man with a heart
 great enough to magnify
 the beauty of every small space,
 a free heart.
 
 Oh, if man's heart were
 to wear glasses
 the beauty of the world
 would have been
 more free, in its flow
 more pure, in its form
 more unrestricted, in its space
 more intense, in its flame.

I was walking to my grandma's house when I suddenly realized how beautiful this February morning was. This is the first time I get a conception of perfection in beauty, and its connection with freedom. ( It was summer holiday, and days are loose and tuitions are closed, so I was feeling quite happy and free. ) I derived my inspiration from this event.
