Romanticism, beauty, art and damnation

The quote in the secret history "death is the mother of beauty" " and what is beauty" "terror" is absolutely delightful but what is even more delightful is the context in which it is said. Julian has pointed out something that has deeply resonated with me. We are attracted to the most tragic parts of poetry whether it is the murder of Agamemnon, the death of Julius Caesar or the wrath of Achilles. Such ghastly images portray themselves in such beauty that it is not wrong to say that death is the mother of beauty and beauty is terror.

What if dances could only be done once in one's life and one would fade away after they dance. What would it be like to end life so poetically? Is that what damnation would like?
