"What more, you may ask, do we want? … We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." —C. S. Lewis, "The Weight of Glory"

A beautiful quote. And so very true. C.S. Lewis is a wonderful author. Which of his books is your favorite? I like so many, but "The Great Divorce" and "A Grief Observed" come to mind...
