On the principle of Berkeley's 'The Tree in the Quad' (or rather, the answer to it), does the eye of God – having decided that a thing deserves to be called beautiful – then keep it in existence as an object of beauty for ever? For ref, the answer ran as follows:
"Dear Sir, it is not at all odd.
I am always about in the Quad.
And that's why that tree
Never ceases to be
Since observed by
Yours faithfully, God".
