VI. Truth, Beauty, and Sacred Art
[Wisdom] is a breath of the
power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; therefore
nothing defiled gains entrance into her. For she is a reflection of eternal
light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his
goodness.290 For [wisdom] is more beautiful than the sun, and excels every

superior, for it is succeeded by the night, but against wisdom evil does not
prevail.291 I became enamored of her beauty.292
