Beauty

INCIDENT:
On my latest flight I was reading Dwell and there was an article on the "Architecture of Happiness." The title was derived from this quote:

"Beauty is the promise of happiness"
- Henri B. Stendhal

MORAL:
Are beauty and happiness really correlated? Can they be correlated?

If we think about the beauty in the everyday... if we can find beauty in the everyday then perhaps beauty does promise happiness. But it is quite the tall order...
