A little moth asked the other day, what makes something beautiful? I wonder and doubt if I could ever give a fulfilling answer. As a topic it is almost too monumental to touch. Certainly to write about all at once. But maybe we can glance at it from time to time. So, a short visit.

It's funny, I thought da Vinci's tale was going to end as a fable about beauty. Even though the stone was worn and battered, he fit harmoniously in a beautiful old road, like a building in Venice. In the forest, he was novel.
Your meritorious defense of history, nature, and beauty draw me in, but it is your humanism I like best of all: you critique your enemies humbly and without forgetting that they, too, did what they thought correct.
Very insightful and thought provoking. It seems to me that the themes raised and excellently explored here, can reach out way beyond art. Thank your these.
