The 'inner need' knows no such limits and often produces results conventionally considered 'bad'. But "ugly" itself is a conventional term and means only "spiritually unpleasant", being applied to some expression of an inner need, overcome or not yet achieved. But everything that adequately expresses the interior need is beautiful" (note VI.42).¶ 13Leave a comment on the paragraph
