The Calcutta Review An Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) March 1924

1924

The Philosophy of Beauty falls into three divisions :—(1) the problem of the nature of beauty as such (2) the relationship between the quality recognised as beauty and a particular object which is said to possess the quality of beauty and (3) the relationship between the consciousness that attributes beauty to an object and both the object and its attributed quality of beauty. [...] The abstraction of the one and the scientific empiricism of the other keep indoors beyond the reach of the disturbing realities of the open air. [...] There is a song for the farmer the shepherd the carter the herdsman the oarsman the coolie the juggler the mendicant the nautoh girl the fakir and so on ad itifinitam; and each melody has its own peculiar individuality and is :suitably adapted to the work and personality of the singer. [...] In the periodical festivals of the Hindus the Mutat girl sings of the amatory episodes in the lives of Krishna and Kama ; the Mohamedane sing the glory of Mohamed. [...] We cannot think of India without the temple-bells and they seem to be as much a part of the picturesque atmosphere as the palms the blue skies the drum-beat the bright colours the acrid cooking fires of evening the bullocks the crows the hazy heat and the smell of incense.
