To many “art experts,” any work containing actual beauty is criticized as being trite and/or sentimental. I’ve never understood why.

Because their hearts are full of sin and black bile.

Therefore beauty and light are loathsome, "for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks".

Dittos...

...like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.
