I watched the oh-so-gifted Usain Bolt shatter his own 100m world record this morning.
Poetry in motion: universal truth.
The extraordinary beauty of his movement as he went into top speed was breathtaking. Keats might not have been there to see it but this is surely what he meant when he wrote:
‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’
An active manifestation of truth; a physical manifestation of universal life force, or love.
