| Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the Spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and in the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone.

The universe is its temple; and those people who are alive to it can not lift their eyes without feeling themselves encompassed with it on every side. |
