Nature’s Rule For Beauty
’J'HE most noticeable characteristic of the 19th and 20th centuries, especially the 20th, is ugliness. At the root of the trouble is a lack of ! balance. We chase after a great number of desirable ends without any consideration how they effect one another or our surroundings. It is significant that whenever we are obliged to pay full attention to the laws of nature we produce things of great beauty, the aeroplane, for example, or the ship. Balance is a rule of nature and the natural world generally obeys it, and the balance we have to hold is between the natural world and civilisation. There are far too many people measuring all hundm happiness and aspiration in terms of money and manufactured goods, Lieutenant-Colonel Gerald Haythornthwaite, an architect and member of one of Britain’s regional planning boards.
