Utility
            above beauty:
             the latter
              can't feed the hungry

             some or a few only
             will set all aside readily
             for the sake of beauty-
             such dreamers are a tiny minority

              life isn't the paradise
              for the singing of poetry
              which looks away from reality
              in idealising  beauty

             the truth will bear out eventually:
             too short-lived and fragile is beauty
             the sun cannot shine for all time
             the night will set in and beauty will sink into obscurity
