More about Surpassing Radiance

"Be sure that, if the shapes [of atoms] were infinite in number, exotic robes of glistening purple from Meliboea, steeped in the dye of Thessalian mollusks, and the regiments of gilded peacocks, imbued with radiant loveliness, would be surpassed and obscured by things adorned with new colors; the aroma of myrrh and the taste of honey would be scorned; likewise the song of the swan and the subtle melodies from the strings of Phoebus' lyre would be smothered and silenced. Something would always emerge to excel all the others."

Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, Book II Lines 500-509
