αὐγάζειν.2

ἂν ἡ ἔκπληξη τῆς ὀμορφιᾶς προϋποθέτει τὴν ταπεινὴ καρδιά,
εἶναι κι ἡ ἴδια πού, μὲ τὴν σειρά της, ταπεινώνει τὴν καρδιά.

‡ αὐτὸς εἶναι καὶ ὁ κυριώτερος λόγος ποὺ ἡ ἐξουσία μισεῖ τὴν ὀμορφιά——ἡ ἐξουσία χρειάζεται ὑποτακτικοὺς καὶ δὲν ὑπάρχουν ἀσφαλέστεροι τέτοιοι ἀπὸ τὶς ὑπερήφανες ψυχές.

if beauty's wonder presupposes a humble heart,
it is itself which, by its turn, humbles the heart.

‡ this is the main reason that authority hates beauty——authority needs subjects and there are not more reliable such than the proud souls.
