“Doubtless almost any intense emotion may open our 'inward eye' to the beauty of reality. Falling in love appears to do it for some people. The beauties of nature or the exhilaration of artistic creation does it for others. Probably any high experience may momentarily stretch our souls up on tiptoe, so that we catch a glimpse of that marvelous beauty which is always there, but which we are not often tall enough to perceive.” PeopleMayDoeSoulEnoughRealityEyeFallEmotionBeautyCreationFalling In LoveIntenseArtisticPerceiveTallInwardMarvelousGlimpseNature BeautyExhilarationTiptoesArtistic CreationIntense Emotions Author:Margaret Prescott Montague
