Beauty is subjective, wouldn’t you say so?

Sure. In the eye of a beholder, as they say. :) What some people consider "beauty" I wouldn't come near even if they paid me.

Romans used to have a saying de gustibus no est dispitandum, i.e. there is no arguing over taste. Flies do what they do, and eat what they eat. Who's going to tell billions of flies what to eat!?!

But I really like bvw's observation, to wit We ALL perceive spiritual order — we call it Beauty, Truth, Wisdom, Grace, etc. We know it when we see it!

Wow, bvw, what were you thinking when you wrote those words? What does Wisdom look like?
