The beauty of nature..

A thing of beauty touches the human heart as nothing else does. It elevates the human soul. Man feels some inexpressible inner joy. The experience is unforgettable. That is why, on seeing a host of daffodils on the bank of a lake Wordsworth says:

They flash upon that inward eye. Which is the bliss of solitude”?

Wordsworth is the high-priest of na­ture. According to him, “nature never did betray the heart that loved her”

One can enjoy the beauties of nature in an abundant measure at a hill station. The floating clouds, the dancing springs, the winding rivulets, the all pervading multicolor flowers, emitting sweet, soothing smell, the trees standing like sentinels with birds singing sweet harmonious songs in their branches, the cool breeze, the humming bees, the delicious fruits- all cater to human senses. Beauty lies in the eyes of the be­holder on the earth, in the air, in the sky and in the ocean. His heart leaps up when he beholds a rainbow in the sky.
