Lesson 24-2 Beauty
There is no sky inJune so blue that it does not point forward to a bluer, no sunset so beautifulthat it does not waken the vision of a greater beauty, a vision which passesbefore it is fully glimpsed, and in passing leaves an indefinable longing andregret. But, if this world is not merely a bad joke, life a vulgar flare amidthe cool radiance of the stars, and existence an empty laugh braying across themysteries; if these intimations of a something behind and beyond are not evilhumour born of indigestion, or whimsies sent by the devil to mock and maddenus. if, in a word, beauty means something, yet we must not seek to interpretthe meaning. If we glimpse the unutterable, it is unwise to try to utter it,nor should we seek to invest with significance that which we cannot grasp.Beauty in terms of our human meanings is meaningless.

练习感悟：这篇文章，也是有够难的，不仅难以理解，读起来拗口，生词也挺多的，读到一半，经常要回想一下某些单词究竟是什么意思，录了四五遍才勉强达标
