Nearly Caught

Why is it that the beautiful things die when caught? We almost catch a butterfly and think "what a shame! I almost had it!", when it would have died in our hands.

The deer and maidens were nearly caught in this picture. But as much as we as people like to own beauty, I think there is something to be said for the elusiveness of the beautiful. It adds mystery, mystique, and worth to that which we deem pretty.

Aesthetics does not only lie in what one sees, but also in what one imagines.
