Excerpt from Before a Painting
James Weldon Johnson
And over me the sense of beauty fell,
As music over a raptured listener to
The deep-voiced organ breathing out a hymn;
Or as on one who kneels, his beads to tell,
There falls the aureate glory filtered through
The windows in some old cathedral dim.
In the last two lines of the poem, to what is a sense of beauty being compared?

a person holding beads
a person holding beads
glorious windows in a church
glorious windows in a church
a person paralyzed with fear
a person paralyzed with fear
light coming through a cathedral window
