Hey John, Great question. I don't think beauty ever "goes" anywhere. It's just more or less evident, or more or less inherent in the pattern your perceive at the moment. Descriptions of beauty can be beautiful, too. Like this excerpt from Poe's "Annabel Lee:" For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; Hope this answers your question. Thanks for asking.
