On Beauty

Flowers from my garden and other peoples' words today. Not really up to much else, I'm afraid.





"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."
Albert Einstein




"You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind."
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
