In Kant, as in Rousseau and in the discussions on the passions, we witness a disengagement of reason. Nonetheless, this giving way to those things that the reason cannot control still occurred in addordance with the rules of the reason itself and no one better than Kant was able to handle the tensions set up by this discordance within the Enlightenment. However even Kant acknowledges the presence of nonrational phenomenon within the system. One of these is the legitimization, together with “adherent beauty,” of “free Beauty,” the indefinable nature of the arabesque and the abstract. The Romantics went on to accord boundless apace to free Beauty, making it coincide with Beauty ‘tourt court.**. . . . Page 265

Classical Canons

John Wolfgang von Goethe (Italian Journey)

(Caserta, March 16, 1787, 1816-1817)

The Lord Hamilton {. . . .} has found the acme of delight both in nature and in art in the person of a beautiful girl. He keeps her in his home. She is young Englishwoman of about twenty years, truly beautiful and well formed. He has had them make her a Greek costume that suits her marvelously: thus dressed, she lets down her hari, takes two or three shawls, and she knows how to lend such variety to her poses, to her gestures, and to her expressions, that you end up really believing you are dreaming. That which many artists would be glad to express, in her appears complete, brimming with life and surprising variety. {,. . . } The old Lord finds in her all the statues Antiquity, all the fine profiles of Sicilian coins, and even the Apollo of Belvedere. ` Page 308
