"Who can fail to be captivated by the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom in the moonlight? And on a glorious day, we all look up at the blue sky and think, "How wonderful!" The bubbling of a stream delights the ear, refreshing our senses. These are all examples of our intuitive love of beauty".
