Painting: John Atkinson Grimshaw, “Tree Shadows in the Park Wall,” Roundhay, Leeds, 1872.
"You know, to live with the beauty of those mountains and not get accustomed to it is very difficult...You have beheld those mountains, heard the stream, and seen the shadows creep across the valley, day after day; and have you not noticed how easily you get used to it all? You say, 'Yes, it is quite beautiful,' and you pass by. To live with beauty, or to live with an ugly thing, and not become habituated to it requires enormous energy—an awareness that does not allow your mind to grow dull."
—Jiddu Krishnamurti, "The Book of Life."
