It is the function of the beautiful to be, so to speak, an epiphany of the Absolute and formless Void which is God. It is an embodiment of the Absolute mediated through the personality of the artist, or perhaps better his ‘spirit’ and his contemplative experience.
Thomas Merton, American Trappist monk, mystic, theologian, poet, social activist, scholar Author, Zen and the Birds of Appetite
