Goethe says somewhere that we should, every day, listen to some good music, look at a fine painting, read a great poem.
Here's a poem that fits the bill: "Not Ideas About the Thing but the Thing Itself". (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
The painting is Fantin-Latour's Portrait of Sonia, which I used to visit regularly when I worked in D.C.
And here is the wonderful Angela Hewitt playing Bach.
