I'll wager that the non-native English readers on here have an English
dictionary at hand.

You may do it personally. I can't stop you. I will only say that it is
not necessary, therefore superfluous. One merely visualizes the photo
as it will appear in its final form. A little like "focusing in" on
something.

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only
truth, but supreme beauty--a beauty cold and austere,
like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of
our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of
painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of
a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
