Quote du jour/Sir Edward Grey

The earth is full of wonderful things and I would like to dwell on two especially. One is the infinite beauty of the world; and the other, separate and yet inseparably connected with the first, is the power of man to perceive the beauty and to be moved by it.
Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon

    Thanks, Joyce. It just popped off the page in the book I'm reading, Springtime in Britain. And you are so good at giving compliments. You must be just the best minister!

    Margaret, does that mean you have a gorgeous day down there? It's still beautiful here, but cloudy with occasional sun. And so, so, so green from all the rain and cloudy days.
