There is one difficulty which stands at the threshold of dealing with the sense of
beauty so as to give it due importance and preponderance, and that is that it
seems with many people to be so frail a thing, and to visit the mind only as the last grace of a mood of perfect serenity and well-being. Many people, and those not the least thoughtful and intelligent, find by experience that it is almost the first thing to disappear in moments of stress and pressure. Physical pain, grief, pre-occupation, business, anxiety, all seem to have the power of quenching it instantaneously, until one is apt to feel that it is a thing of infinite delicacy and tenderness, and can only co-exist with a tranquillity which it is hard in life to secure. The result of this no doubt is that many active-minded and forcible people are ready to think little of it, and ust regard it as a mood that may accompany a well-earned holiday, and even so to be sparingly indulged. !t is also undoubtedly true that in many robust and energetic people the sense of what is beautiful is so far atrophied that it can only be aroused by scenes and places of almost melodramatic picturesqueness, by ancient buildings clustered on craggy eminences, great valleys with the fro"en horns of mountains, wind- ravaged and snow-streaked, peering over forest edges, the thunder and splendour of great sea-breakers plunging landward under rugged headlands and cliff-fronts. #ut all this pursuit of sensational beauty is to mistake its quality$ the moment it is thus pursued it ceases to be the milk and honey of life, and it becomes a kind of stimulant which excites rather than tranquillises. ! do not mean that one should of set purpose avoid the sight of wonderful prospects and treasure-houses of art, or act as the poet %ray did when he was travelling with &orace 'alpole in the (lps, when they drew up the blinds of their carriage to exclude the sight of such prodigious and unmanning horrors) *till ! think that if one is on the right track, and if beauty has its due place and value in life, there will be less and less impulse to go far afield for it, in search of something to thrill the dull perception and quicken it into life. ! believe that people ought to be content to live most of their lives in the same place, and to grow to love familiar scenes. +amiliarity with a scene ought not to result in the obliteration of all consciousness of it, one ought rather to find in use and affection an increased power of subtle interpretation, a closer and finer understanding of the qualities which underlie the very simplest of -nglish landscapes. ! live, myself, for most of the year in a countryside that is often spoken of by its inhabitants as dull, tame, and featureless$ yet ! cannot say with what daily renewal of delight ! wander in the pastoral .ambridge landscape, with its long low lines of wold, its whitewalled, straw-thatched villages embowered in orchards and elms, its slow willow-bound streams, its level fenland, with the far- seen cloud-banks looming overhead, or again in the high-ridged, well-wooded land of *ussex, where ! often live, the pure lines of the distant downs seen over the richly coloured intervening weald grow daily more dear and intimate, and appeal more and more closely to the deepest secrets of sweetness and delight. +or as we train ourselves to the perception of beauty, we become more and more alive to a fine simplicity of effect$ we find the lavish accumulation of rich and magnificent glories bewildering and distracting. (nd this is the same with other arts$ we no longer crave to be da""led and flooded by passionate and exciting sensation, we care less and less for studied mosaics of word and thought, and more and more for clearness and form and economy and austerity. /estless exuberance becomes unwelcome, complexity and intricacy weary us$ we begin to perceive the beauty of what +it"gerald called the 0great still books.0 'e do not desire a kaleidoscopic pageant of blending and colliding emotions, but crave for something distinctly seen, entirely grasped, perfectly developed. #ecause we are no longer in search of something stimulating and exciting, something to make us glide and dart among the surge and spray of life, but what we crave for is rather a calm and reposeful absorption in a thought which can yield us all its beauty, and assure us of the existence of a principle in which we can rest and abide. (s life goes on, we ought not to find relief from tedium only in a swift interchange and multiplication of sensations$ we ought rather to attain a simple and sustained oyfulness which can find nurture in homely and familiar things. !f again the sense of beauty is so frail a thing that it is at the mercy of all intruding and arring elements, it is also one of the most patient and persistent of quiet forces. 1ike the darting fly which we scare from us, it returns again and again to settle on the spot which it has chosen. There are, it is true, troubled and anxious hours when the beauty round us seems a cruel and intrusive thing, mocking us with a peace which we cannot realise, and torturing us with the reminder of the oy we have lost. There are days when the only way to forget our misery is to absorb ourselves in some practical energy$ but that is because we have not learned to love beauty in the right way. !f we have only thought of it as a pleasant ingredient in our cup of oy, as a thing which we can ust use as we can use wine, to give us an added flush of unreasonable content, then it will fail us when we need it most. 'hen a man is under the shadow of a bereavement, he can test for himself how he has used love. !f he finds that the loving looks and words and caresses of those that are left to him are a mere torture to him, then he has used love wrongly, ust as a selfish and agreeable delight$ but if he finds strength and comfort in the yearning sympathy of friend and beloved, reassurance in the strength of the love that is left him, and confidence in the indestructibility of affection, then he has used love wisely and purely, loving it for itself, for its beauty and holiness, and not only for the warmth and comfort it has brought him. *o, if we have loved beauty well, have seen in it a promise of ultimate oy, a sign of a deliberate intention, a message from a power that does not send sorrow and anxiety wantonly, cruelly and indifferently, an assurance of something that waits to welcome and bless us, then beauty is not a mere torturing menace, a heartless and unkind parading of oy which we cannot feel, but a faithful pledge of something secure and everlasting, which will return to us again and again in ever fuller measure, even if the flow of it be sometimes suspended. 'e ought then to train and practise our sense of beauty, not selfishly and luxuriously, but so that when the dark hour comes it may help us to realise that all is not lost, may alleviate our pain by giving us the knowledge that the darkness is the interruption, but that the oy is permanent and deep and certain. Thus beauty, instead of being for us but as the melody swiftly played when our hearts are high, a mere momentary ray, a happy accident that befalls us, may become to us a deep and vital spring of love and hope, of which we may say that it is there waiting for us, like the home that awaits the traveller over the weary upland at the foot of the far-looming hill. !t may come to us as a perpetual sign that we are not forgotten, and that the oy of which it makes mention survives all interludes of strife and uneasiness. !t is easy to slight and overlook it, but if we do that, we are deluded by the passing storm into believing that confusion and not peace is the end. (s %eorge Meredith nobly wrote, during the tragic and fatal illness of his wife, 2&ere ! am in the very pits of tragic life.... &appily for me, ! have learnt to live much in the spirit, and see brightness on the other side of life, otherwise this running of my poor doe with the inextricable arrow in her flanks would pull me down too.2 The spirit, the brightness of the other side, that is the secret which beauty can communicate, and the message which she bears upon her radiant wings.
For many centuries people have been wondering what the beauty is, but up to the present day there is neither definite answer nor a shared vision. Beauty can hardly mean the same to all the people because we are different and our standards and tastes differ as well. We all think that someone or something is beautiful when it provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, placidity and satisfaction. This sample essay was taken out of our sample custom essays database. It is a well-known fact that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is a subjective concept. he individual understanding of this notion develops in some entity being in balance and harmony with nature, which leads to the feeling of admiration and emotional well-being, but this entity is not alike for different people. Beauty comes in many forms, as it is a very wide concept. !ven if we take the beauty of a person" people can judge his or her physical or inner beauty, beauty of the eyes, of behavior and intentions, etc. Which of these beauties is the most important# When we see a person for the first time, we always start with assessment of his$her physical beauty. %ppearance is not a reliable guide to &ualities that a person may have, because we cannot catch them with our eyes.

We hear a lot about cleanliness. his is the topic talked every day and everywhere. %fter all *What is this (leanliness#+ In simple words, (leanliness is the opposite of 8irty. It has got high importance. Failing to keep cleanliness can be danger to our life. hat is the reason, why cleanliness is taught in every one-s life. (leanliness starts from each of us. It can be personal cleanliness, cleanliness of our )oom, 9ome, 2chool, 2treet or our (ity. :ersonal cleanliness means keeping our body clean. ;rushing our teeth, washing our face etc are few examples of this personal hygiene. Washing and bath are the best ways for personal cleanliness. (leanliness in our home and surrounding includes removal of dust, dirt and garbage.We should remember that removal of our garbage does not mean to put the same into our neighbour-s yard. We need to cooperate with our neighbours too for this. We should dispose our garbage in the specified dust bins provided by the municipality. 2imilarly, we need to keep clean our school, street. We should be highly aware of the cleanliness all the time. We shouldn-t throw anything in the street. In turn, it should be put in the dust bin. his way, we can help to keep our city clean. (leanliness is not just limited to these few things. 9ospitals, where lot of patients are treated for varieties of diseases, re&uire high degree of attention when it comes to cleanliness. <therwise, these places can be source of diseases. Industries generate various types of wastes everyday. It is mandatory to have waste management systems to avoid pollution. his way the air, water and our environment can be kept clean. atleast answer to the crying =ail of this >year old..#### 3oes an adage? *(leanliness is next to godliness.+ It is because we can achieve nothing physically, mentally or spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind or soul. 2imply speaking, cleanliness is essential for our personality. @obody likes an unclean child or adult and a clean one is loved, desired and respected everywhere. First of all, we should keep our body clean. We should have a daily bath so that not a speck of dust or a drop of perspiration keeps sticking to us. If we don-t do this, our body will stink and everybody will avoid us. We will feel our pleasant and lethargic instead of feeling active. his would make us la0y and as we shirk work, our business or studies will suffer and we will be left behind in the race of life. (leanliness is also very important for good health. % large number of bacteria keep sticking to our bodies and clothes. It we do not wash them regularly, we can ac&uire several diseases. 8irty and unwashed clothes are not only a source of bad odour but these are also hotbeds for disease-causing germs. 'any diseases are infectious and if a healthy person comes in contact+ with unwashed clothes of a diseased person, he could also contract the disease. We should also brush our teeth and comb our hair regularly. 2imilarly, we should cut our nails fre&uently as many germs enter our body through our fingers and toes. We should also protect our feet from dust and put on socks and shoes when we go out. It is very important that the utensils, in which we take our meals, are kept clean. he drinking water should be clean and preferably filtered. We should also keep our houses and environment clean. (leanliness starts from home he floors in all the rooms in our houses should be cleaned daily and washed with phenol-mixed water to destroy bacteria and insects. %ll the drains in our house should be underground or covered, and disinfected. 2imilarly, all the near by drains, water pools and channels and puddles should be disinfected to prevent the breeding of flies and mos&uitoes, particularly during the rainy season and a month after that. It is the duty of parents and teachers to teach the lessons of cleanliness to their children so that they grow up as useful citi0ens and members of society. 1A. F%29I<@2 Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by a large number of people in a country. 9owever, popular styles of furniture, .homes and many other products are also fashions. he kinds of art, music, literature and sports that many people prefer can also be fashions. hus a fashion is or reflects a form of behavior accepted by most people in a society. % fashion remains popular for a few months or years and then another fashion takes its place. % product or activity is in fashion or is fashionable during the period of time that many people in society accept it. %fter a time, however, the same product or activity becomes old-fashioned when the majority of people no longer accept it. % clothing style may start as a fashion, but its use becomes a custom if it is handed down from generation to generation. oday, wearing long trousers is a custom for men in most countries. ;ut changes in the color and shape of trousers have taken place through the years. % fashion that &uickly comes and goes is called a fad. he majority of people do not accept fads. 2ome people may become involved in faddish behavior because fads get a lot of publicity. oday people follow fashions for many reasons. For example, they want others to think that they belong to a special class of society. @ew fashions may be adopted immediately by well-known people, including athletes, film stars and political figures. hen, other people follow these fashions so that they can also look important" 2ome people think that fashionable clothes and surroundings raise their status in life. . :eople also follow fashions to make themselves more attractive. 2tandards. of beauty change through the years, and people decorate themselves according to the changing standards. Ideas of beauty also change from culture to culture for example, people in many countries use cosmetics to look attractive. In some countries, people decorate themselves with tattoos. @ot only this, the most fashionable method of present day advertising campaigns is to show the images of very young and very beautiful women in the ads. :erhaps it is no exaggeration to say that the display of the body of a woman has become an integral part of today-s advertising, even if the goods and services advertised are not even remotely concerned with women. he most important and attractive feature of the current fashions is the dress and picture of a young and beautiful woman prominently displayed on the left. :erhaps the idea is that the readers will be irresistibly tempted to look at the picture and while doing that, will also incidentally read the message. (leanliness is very important .leanliness is the absence of dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells and garbage. .leanliness includes criteria such as health and beauty. 3 The term .leanliness derives from the meaning absence of odour, avoidance of and to avoid the spreading of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others. !n the case of glass obects such as windows or windshields, the purpose can also be transparency. 'ashing is one way of achieving cleanliness, usually with water and often some kind of soap or detergent. !n more recent times, since the germ theory of disease, it has also come to mean an absence of germs and other ha"ardous materials. &owever, dirt may play a useful role in our immune systems. This shift in thinking can be traced back to 4565, when 7avid *trachan put forth the 2hygiene hypothesis2 in the #ritish Medical 8ournal. *trachan looked at the records of 49,::: #ritish children and found that the greater number of older siblings they had, the less likely they were to come down with hay fever;a disease which, despite its name, is far more common in the city than the country. *trachan wondered if the older children were bringing home more viral infections to their younger siblings, priming their immune systems so they could better tolerate pollen. The 2hygiene hypothesis2 has now been linked with asthma, allergies, intestinal diseases including .rohn0s disease<citation needed=, childhood leukemia<citation needed= and atopic dermatitis. There is increasing evidence that the less germs people are exposed to as a child, the more likely they are to get sick as adults. .leanliness impacts every phase of social interaction, generating potentially profound health- related risks and illnesses.
