“There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea.”

First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture.
By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality.
Beauty is first and foremost an emotion.
Real beauty is to be true to oneself. That's what makes me feel good.
