'''Beauty''', art, is largely a matter of the unification of contrasts. Variety is essential to the concept of beauty. The supreme beauty, the height of [[finite]] art, is the drama of the unification of the vastness of the [[cosmic]] extremes of Creator and creature. Man finding God and God finding man--the creature becoming perfect as is the Creator--that is the supernal achievement of the supremely beautiful, the attainment of the apex of cosmic art.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper56.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper56.html&line=155#mfs]

 

 

Beauty is the intellectual recognition of the harmonious time-space synthesis of the far-flung diversification of phenomenal reality, all of which stems from pre-existent and eternal oneness.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper56.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper56.html&line=167#mfs]

 

 

The classical Greek adjective beautiful was καλλός. The Greek word for beautiful was "ὡραῖος",  an adjective etymologically coming from the word "ὥρα" meaning hour. In Greek, beauty was thus associated with "being of one's hour". A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful.  ὡραῖος in Attic Greek had many meanings, including youthful and ripe old age.
