Beauty.
Oh, happy he who is in love with beauty! To whom flowers are a heavenly language, day and night, and weeks, and months, and years and centuries a rhythmic song; music a revelation of the infinite and the divine; seas and skies and mountains and plains voiceless echoes of the everlasting Word, and all life the expression of the everlasting love. Oh, happy be who can rise out of his work, and from this heavenly realm of culture look down upon it, and recognize the fact that it is only the minister of a life as far above it as the heavens are above the earth!
