The Composition Class
The students in the composition class were assigned the task of writing an essay on “the most beautiful thing I ever saw.” The student, who of all the members of the class seemed the least sensitive1 to beauty, handed in his paper first with surprising speed. It was short and to the point2. He had written: “The most beautiful thing I ever saw was too beautiful for words.”
