Rilke: Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror.
What do people think of this. She is in discussion about this, but she said why is the tingle of beauty with a fine meal, poem, etc. associated with horror. Someone quoted Edmund Burke "On the sublime":The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature..is Astonishment; and astonishment is the state of the soul, in which all it's motions are suspended, with some degree of horror. In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object, that is cannot entertain any other."
