The Particle of Wonder The pines of hills, the pearls of oysters, The peaks of mountains capped with snow, The piles of vast desert sands, The pebbles under clear waters, The plumes of parrots and peacocks, The plushy coat of feline creatures Are a source of sensuous pleasure And food for wondrous thoughts of philosophy. Behold in the petals of flowers And wings of butterflies A painter with a palette of gorgeous colors, An engineer with ingenious designs.
