Beauty

"This world is the world of wild storm kept tame with the music of beauty." Tagore

"Flowers, shade, a fine view, a sunset sky, joy, Grace, feeling, abundance, and serenity, tenderness, and song, here you have the element of beauty." Amiel

Aspiration

"But I do hold to something more, far higher than the actual human, something to which it is human to aspire to seek to translate into life individual and communal: this something translates itself to me best as the Holy Spirit."

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher.
