[New-Poetry] beauty

[Anny Ballardini]

I anyhow agree on 'Beauty'

and I also think that Poetry, or any other Art should remember it/She - la
bellezza, la beaute', die Schoenheit, la belleza, they are all feminine.
Literary and Art Criticism, as much as Philosophy or Sociology have their
own jobs to do, and since Mark is here, also Psychology has its own burden.
