  1. Someone who cultivates an unusually high sensitivity to beauty, as in art or nature, often in a manner perceived to prioritize beauty over other qualities such as virtue and utility. derogatory,often
    — I prefer to think of [literature] as providing a discipline of the sensibility—a special way of apprehending reality.
