Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.[Rabindranath Tagore]
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.[George Washington Carver]
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble. [Blaise Pascal]
The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.[Claude Monet]
Broom out the floor now, lay the fender by,
And plant this bee-sucked bough of woodbine there
And let the window down. The butterfly
Floats in upon the sunbeam, and the fair
Tanned face of June, the nomad gipsy, laughs
Above her widespread wares, the while she tells
The farmers' fortunes in the fields, and quaffs
The water from the spider-peopled wells.
[Francis Ledwidges]
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral. [John Burroughs]
There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.[John Steinbeck]
The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day. [Kenneth Patton]
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,
As she dances about the sun.
[Percy Bysshe Shelley]
The Cloud
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. [Kahlil Gibran]
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. [Cummings]
The poetry of the earth is never dead. [John Keats]
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
[William Butler Yeats]
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. [Lao Tzu]
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. [Ralph Waldo Emerson]
