Eros
Eros is passion, passionate love, as distinct from the appetite of lust. Eros inspires music and art, literature, even mystical rapture.
Eros is the guide that reveals beauty, and not everything that is beautiful is also uplifting. I myself have felt crushed by the beauty of a world I felt I could take no real part in. This was still Eros.
