To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.

Really I don’t like human nature unless all candied over with art.

Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!

Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.

I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free.

All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.

I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.

The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.

Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.
