Truth and Beauty

On our grand tour today, I turned a corner and saw this--it literally took my breath away.

I have seen St. Paul's Cathedral from a distance many times since I've been here, but I've never seen it up close and personal before. And it was beautiful. So beautiful that it literally brought tears to my eyes. I can't even put it into words. I am reminded of the lines by Keats:   

When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
