The beauty of the world . . .

The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.

Jonathan Edwards, “The Beauty of the World" (1725) in Branch, Michael P., ed. Reading the Roots: American Nature Writing Before Walden (Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, 2004), 123.
