Richard Jefferies·1883I was utterly alone with the sun and the earth. Lying down on the grass, I spoke in my soul to the earth, the sun, the air, and the distant sea far beyond sight. I thought of the earth's firmness — I felt it bear me up; through the grassy couch there came an influence as if I could feel the great earth speaking to me.
William Wordsworth·1798Come forth into the light of things, let Nature be your teacher.
Henry David Thoreau·1850My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go.
