​The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
Nature says, — he is my creature, and maugre all his impertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
