Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form.

Beauty is an all-pervading presence.

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.
