"beauty is in the eye of the beholder" shouldn't be a cliché - it requires an "eye" and a "beholder". some of the most amazing sensory organs (visual systems) in nature (especially sea creatures) allow them to "apprehend" beauty in various dimensions (say polarization of light, multiple / tessellated visual organs) that their "experience" of world around them is not accessible to humans in our limited (yet amazing) visual region of EM spectrum. Beauty really is closer to home in here (in one's mind) - and not "out there"..
