>Everywhere it is obvious that if beauty makes a display of beauty, it is sheer ugliness. It is obvious that if goodness makes a display of goodness, it is sheer badness.

Imagine a beautiful woman dressing in a way that leaves little to the imagination. She looks trashy
a corollary of the scholastic principle that "the good is diffusive of itself", is that "beauty makes itself known". it doesn't need any added help. or look at it like diminishing returns to scale. 'beauty' is the optimal scale, and any additional scale (through ostentation) diminishes beauty.
