A Beautiful Figure

How beautiful is the following, and
how happy must be the heart that can
see the beauties and understand them:
"Why is it that the rainbow and the
clouds come over us with a beauty that
is not Of earth, and then pass away and
leave us to muse on their faded lowell
ness? Why is it that the stars which
hold their nightly festival around the
midnight throne are placed above the
reach of our limited faculties, forever
mocking US with their unapproachable
gloryi And why is it that the light
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view and taken from us, yet leaving
the thousand streams Of affection to flow
in Alpine torrents upon the heart? We
are born for higher destiny than that
of earth There is realm where the
rainbow never fades; where the stars
will be set before US like islands slum-
bering on the ocean, and where the beau
tiful beings that pass before us like me-
teors will stay in our presence forever"
