Abstract Noun and Articles
All the possible forms of the word “beauty” with articles are “beauty”, “a beauty”, “beauties”, “the beauty” and “the beauties.”
I would like to limit the meaning to the quality of being beautiful.
I could find the sentences below. So, I think the four forms below are possible.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She has a beauty that comes from within.
I admired the beauty of the landscape.
the beauties of nature
Question:
“beauties” with no articles can be used when it means the quality of being beautiful? If any, I would like to see an example.
Thanks.
