“Nothing is quite beautiful alone: Nothing but is beautiful in the whole. A single object is only so far beautiful as it suggests this universal grace. The Poet, the Architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce. Thus is art, a nature passed through the alembic of Man.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson |
