About This Quote

The world looks so beautiful! She wonders how one can not do for it anything that needs to be done, or at least all one can do. This quote is about the beauty and mystery of the world. She believes that we can't understand what we can't see and, in the words of the poet, "the world looks so beautiful" we wonder how someone could do nothing for it. If you ask her, she will definitely tell you that she did her part and did all she could.
