I Was Not Built to Survive This Much Beauty
What it does
Beauty has exceeded emotional load-bearing capacity; ordinary admiration is no longer structurally sound.
Use it when
- A view is overwhelmingly beautiful.
- Art or design feels almost unfairly perfect.
- Something lovely produces physical emotion.
For example
- The train rounds the mountain at sunrise above a valley of fog.
- The orchestra enters under the final scene's quietest line.
- Your friend appears at the ceremony in the dress they made by hand.
