Opposites bring out the beauty of each other Explanation: In other words: contrast enhances beauty, or "Beauty is enhanced by contrast." This is the original meaning of this saying, which is taken from these lines by Dowqala Al-Ba`ji: فالوجـه مثـل الصبـح منبـلـج والـشـعـر مـثــل الـلـيـل مـســود ضـدان لمـا استجمـعـا حسـنـا والضـد يظـهـر حسـنـه الـضـد However, it is not clear how this will fit in the context you described, since you did not provide the context itself, but merely its general subject matter. |
