For his part, every beauty of art or nature made him thankful as well as happy,
and that the pleasure to be had in listening to fine music,
as in looking at the stars in the sky,
or at a beautiful landscape or picture,
was a benefit for which we might thank Heaven
as sincerely as for any other worldly blessing.
~William Thackeray, Vanity Fair

As one who appreciates nature, as well as all things artistic, I was deeply moved by the picture of the sun setting over the landscape with the clouds, moon and stars in the background.
Thanks for posting!
