Help Me Out!
Who knows what kind of beauty it is which reads 'cutting beauty' in the following paragraph? What does 'cutting' mean there? I'm not native English speaking, but I'm very interested in English learning. Thanks in advance...
About dusk the snow will stop, and by full dark a high, white moon will come sailing in like a galleon, and an icy, diamond powdering of stars will follow. In the blue-and-silver night there are no blurred edges. This is the time of clarity, of cutting beauty. Out in the night there will be no sound except of branches clicking together and a vast, far skein of wind flung down from the sky.
