Mystery

Einstein and Tagore, 1930
Photo by Martin Vos

The picture was taken at a meeting between Nobel laureate in physics Albert Einstein and Bengali Nobel laureate in literature Rabindranath Tagore on July 14, 1930.

Yesterday, I read this quote from Einstein in Nature Photographer, a magazine I highly recommend, even if you don't own a camera. The pictures are spectacular and the writing is first-class.
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious--the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.

The nobel laureate in hairdressing looked on in despair.
