The phrase "Beauty is difficult" said by Plato is rather calling back the spirits of the definition of beauty than simply sentencing the death to it.Although Beauty can not be successfully presented in the thinking,but the diverse statements of different Aestheticians are saying the very same thing which is the original understanding of Beauty.Thus the statement through language from the grasping of Beauty should and must be reasonable.It is the soul that brings the "one" to this world,so as to give to the existence of all,"Pure silence,The proportion and scale of God "all are the own color of soul.But the price the soul itself must pay off to the existence in world is being a resident in the body,being something of reality and must bearing the existence that as a dissident to itself.Suffering is nothing but this living state that the soul struggling to return to itself.As the recovery of suffering,Philosophy,Religion and Art which having a broad mengning here have a common sense:Thinking is the soul's dialogue to itself,and through the dialogue soul return to itself;Paradise is the home of soul,thus looking to paradise is the returnning of soul;Since the world of perceptible phenomenons is the show of soul,the self-view in perpectual world is also returning to the soul itself.The self-view of soul is nothing but what had not been explicitly stated and already expressed anywhere through language had been said by Plato,which is the original understanding of beauty.It is also the "soul" of aesthetic theory of Plato. His famous Saids,Imitation and Inspiration,all had shown the living of this proposition. In other words,Imitation and Inspiration are the deducing and resounding of this proposition.
