Four lines by Felicia Hemans, worth thinking about.

There's beauty all around our paths, if but our
watchful eyes
Can trace it midst familiar things and through
their lowly guise...

Guilty pleasure

I am having more fun than I should with a really sensationally dumb Italian heavy metal band called Rhapsody, led by one Luca Turilli. The thing is, they try to recreate an epic/mythical mood without the least idea how to do so. But beneath all the pounding and the posturing, one hears a very Italian tunefulness.

Somebody's got a Heck of a good point.

He he.
