What is the most beautiful thing you've seen/heard/read recently?

Asked by Haleth (18947points) November 10th, 2011

I stumbled across these lines recently:

“When he looked out from the beach, the torches from the squid-catching boats stretched out like a bridge of fire. On the night of the Feast of Lanterns, his grandmother and kinsmen lit lanterns and from their boats set them afloat into the sea. All around them the candle-lit lanterns floated in the water.

‘Your grandpa has become a fish and lives in the sea,’ his grandmother told Shinkichi with a serious face. ‘This sea is the world where we live after we die. When your grandma dies one day, I’ll have them cast my body into the sea, and I’ll become a fish and be able to see your grandpa again.’” -Shusaku Endo, Deep River

Please share the most beautiful thing you’ve come across recently. Whether it’s an anecdote, a song, lines of prose or poetry, or anything else.
