see the beauty in every one by itself – that
harmony in colour and in form, which pleases
our eye so well. We arrange them instinctively,
and every single beauty is blended
together in one entire beauteous group. We
do not look at the flower, but on the whole
bouquet. The beauty of harmony is an
instinct in us; it lies in out eyes and in our
ears, those bridges between our soul and the
creation around us – in all our senses there is
such a divine, such an entire and perfect stream
in out whole being, a striving after the
harmonious, as it shows itself in all created
things, even in the pulsations of the air, made
visible in Chladni’s figures.

In the Bible we find the expression: “God
in spirit and in truth,” – and hence we most
significantly find an expression for the admission
of what we call a feeling of the beautiful;
for what else is this revelation of God but spirit
and truth? And just as our own soul shines
out of the eye and the fine movement around
the mouth, so does the created image shine
