"A nobler want of man is served by nature, namely, the love of 

 Beauty. . . . To the body and mind which have been cramped by 

 noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. 

 The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street, 

 and sees the sky and the woo ds, and is a man again. In their eternal 

 calm, he finds himself The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. 

 We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough. . . . Beauty is 

 the mark God sets upon virtue. Every natural action is graceful. Every 

 heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine. 

 We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every 

 individual in it." — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
