Truth and Beauty

Kanye West's mother has died after, or while, undergoing cosmetic surgery. Sad, yet wonderful and appropriate. All deaths are sad, but for an English teacher to die from cosmetic surgery is wonderful and appropriate because it is dying for beauty. Beauty is truth and truth is beauty, as Keats tells us "Grecian Urn." What could be better than an English teacher dying for either one? I hope my own exit is so poetic.
