ResumoONE day I discovered for myself that there is an undying joy in the contemplation of beautiful things. It seemed strange to me, at the time, that I should have been many years in learning this. Surely, everyone knows “A thing of Beauty is a joy forever!” Yes, but, after all, nothing is true for one until it is discovered for oneself as an inward experience. For two thousand years the Sermon on the Mount has been preached to eighty generations of men, yet how few believe “Blessed are the Peacemakers?” The truth must come as a personal revelation.
