καλον μὲν οὖν ἐστιν ὃ ἂν δ᾽ αὑτὸ αἱρετὸν ὂν ἐπαινετὸν ᾖ, ὃ ἂν ἀγαθὸν ὂν ἡδὺ ᾖ ὅτι ἀγαθόν.  Arist., Rhet. i. 9. cf. E. Burke (On the Sublime and Beautiful, iii. § 6):  “It is true that the infinitely wise and good creator has, of his bounty, frequently joined beauty to those things which he has made useful to us.  But this does not prove that our idea of use and beauty are the same thing, or that they are in any way dependent on each other.”  Dr. Johnson instances a painting on a coffee-cup as beautiful, but not useful.  “Boswell,” Ann. 1772.  St. Basil’s idea is in accord with that of Ruskin (Mod. P. chap. vi.).  “In all high ideas of beauty it is more than probable that much of the pleasure depends on delicate and untraceable perception of fitness, propriety, and relation, which are purely intellectual, and through which we arrive at our noblest ideas of what is commonly and rightly called ‘intellectual beauty.’”
