"私たちは単に美しさを見ることを望んでいるのではなく、それを言葉で表現するのが難しい何か別のものを望んでいます。私たちが見る美しさと一体になること、それの中に入り込み、それを自分自身の中に受け取り、それに浸り、それの一部になることを望んでいます。"
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
When people encounter something truly beautiful, it's not just about looking at it. They have a deep desire to feel connected to it and experience it fully. Imagine standing in front of a magnificent sunset; you don’t just want to watch it, you want to feel its warmth, its colors, and its peacefulness inside you. This is the kind of connection the quote talks about. People often seek this unity with beauty, whether it's through art, nature, or love, because it makes them feel complete and fulfilled. By bringing this beauty into their lives, they feel more enriched and part of something greater than themselves. This longing can drive people to travel, to create, and to seek out experiences that make life more meaningful.
