Beauty is not decoration. Beauty is ignition, a combustion in the brain. It is not object but firing: synapses lighting like constellations when eye, ear, or skin meets what is unspeakably right. Beauty is a neural event, intimate and unrelenting, stitched into perception, memory, and flesh.
The orbitofrontal cortex burns when beauty strikes. The heart quickens; breath alters. Plato named it the splendor of truth. Keats entwined it with truth itself. Science names it electricity in the cortex. The names differ, the reality does not: beauty is both poetry and proof, surface and signal, the spark of being human.
To collect this phrase is to wear that spark , not metaphor, not myth, but law.
