But what I'd like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to take our wings and fly away

"A studious blind man, who had mightily beat his head about visible objects, and made use of the explication of his books and friends, to understand those names of light and colours which often came in his way, bragged one day, That he now understood what scarlet signified. Upon which, his friend demanding what scarlet was? The blind man answered, It was like the sound of a trumpet." --An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689) John Locke
