these words from the cold waves, under the deep deep sea, and the thoughts flowing among them

The Secret Garden
There was every joy on earth in the secret garden that morning, and among those joys was a delight more delightful than all because it was more wonderful.

what makes something wonderful? or more wonderful than something else?
Something wonderful is full of wonder, so then I take wonder to be beauty. In this way, you will see what wonder is, by seeing what beauty is when I finish this blog about beauty. Though I should mention that wonder or beauty is not really a matter of comparison. In this sense, you are being far more mathematical than I am, and also in thise case, I think the comparison of things in therems of their wonder or beauty is a matter that belongs to a rather different discussion. Not in the desire to devalue your question, but I think this discussion is a trifle, once the definitons of wonder have been made, since then its a simple application of those definition to two things.
