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. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun all overflow with beauty. 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.
