“I am partial to the pantheism of Shelley. There is beauty everywhere.”

Source: Letter to his daughter (1978), p. 79.
Context: I am partial to the pantheism of Shelley. There is beauty everywhere. Even in a total war of annihiliation it will not be possible to wipe out all of it. Beauty is too beautiful to perish altogether. In this period of twelve months in solitary confinement I have rarely recalled an unpleasant or ugly glimpse of the past.
