Why should we not have pretty things in heaven?

Why should we not have pretty things in heaven? If this bright and beautiful economy of skies and rivers, of grass and sunshine, of hills and valleys, is not too good for such a place as this world, will there be any less variety of the bright and beautiful in the next? There is no reason for supposing that the voice of God will speak to us in thunder-claps, or that it will not take to it self the thousand gentle, suggestive tongues of a nature built on the ruins of this, an unmarred system of beneficence.
