Methinks you have the cart before the horse. One does not establish
"greatness" first in order to revere someone or thing, it is innate (however
deeply hidden).  Surely in nature you have stumbled upon a beauteous
vista that caused awe to arise spontaneously within you?

our heart, which is innate in us..."  Carlye is then quoted on the "great
antique heart"
