“A great profusion of things, which are splendid or valuable in themselves, is magnificent.”
Edmund Burke book A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful
The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur. This cannot be owing to the stars themselves, separately considered. The number is certainly the cause. The apparent disorder augments the grandeur, for the appearance of care is highly contrary to our idea of magnificence. Besides, the stars lie in such apparent confusion, as makes it impossible on ordinary occasions to reckon them. This gives them the advantage of a sort of infinity.
