"The
new virtue which constitutes a thing beautiful is a certain cosmical
quality, or a power to suggest relation to the whole world and so lift
the object out of a pitiful individuality. Every natural feature - sea,
sky, rainbow, flowers, musical tone - has in it something which is not
private but universal, . . . and is therefore beautiful . . . The feat
of the imagination is in showing the convertibility of every thing into
every other thing."
