Hogarth Phrasis Inlets of Beauty Recited

INLETS OF BEAUTY Shell like and thin,without and within,whose surface naturally co-incide.Straight rays from the eyes,horizontal,perpendicular, grace with beauty personified. Simplicity,intricacy uniformity Quanitified.inlets of beauty evident,entertaining the eye glutted with variety.A plain space,pleasant to see,scroll and volute in symmetry,surprised by mimicry to avoid regularity. Simple,distinct enjoying with ease, in cone form or pyramid will ever please.Allegory,riddle where angles amuse,magnitude ill-shaped,adds greatness to grace, a broken line to enhance each face.Lines entwine,twisting then un-wind.Serpentine,well composed adds variety to art, waving,dotted or straight,elegant grace in our eye will impart. From Hogarth’s Analysis of Beauty *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet) to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase. Listen to me read this phrasis of mine on youtube under the name of icthyschiro
