In literature, one passes from nothing to the middle and to truth, then to refinement. There is no example of a return from refinement to truth. The Greeks. The Romans. Fine taste among the generality of men of letters can exist only while it is still uncorrupted.
But good taste among men of letters has not returned, nor will it return, in my view, because one can move to goodness from nothing, as the Greeks, but not, I think, from too much goodness, i.e. after the Romans.
The object of the Fine Arts is not Beauty but Truth, that is to say the imitation of Nature in any form. And that the Fine Arts are not concerned with natural beauty alone can be seen in all poets, especially in Homer. If the opposite were true, every great poet would have had to seek out the greatest natural beauty that he could, whereas Homer made Achilles infinitely less beautiful than he might have done, and the same with the Gods, etc., and Anacreon would be a greater poet than Homer, etc.
Passions, deaths, storms, etc., give us great pleasure in spite of their ugliness; this is because man hates nothing more than he does boredom, and therefore he enjoys seeing something new, however ugly. Tragedy, Comedy, Satire are all concerned with ugliness and it is just a question of names to argue about whether they are poetry

I deny that these things are ugly. Passion is beautiful as an expression of the heights of human emotion. Death invokes a feeling of reverence, and storms inspire awe. All three of these things are examples of natural beauty.

It's been almost six months since that message. This was when he posted the video of him saying, essentially, "I'm clueless and bad and I'll be trying to improve without the delusion."
