Counsel to Keep
Once while visiting London, I came across a quaint shop in an artsy district with this little saying posted in the window:
Counsel to Keep
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful, which God has implanted in the human soul.”
-Goethe
Perhaps, this is why I always find my visits to the Paris museums so inspiring – I have a full dose of fine pictures to refresh my mind with a sense of beauty. Our most recent trip to the Musée d’Orsay was one of the highlights of our time in Paris. There is nothing like a Monet to capture a wonderful place in time!
