Like a great poet, Nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. These are simply a sun, trees, flowers, water and love. Of course, if the spectator be without the last, the whole will present but a pitiful appearance, and in that case, the sun is merely so many miles in diameter, the trees are good for fuel, the flowers are classified by stamens, and the water is simply wet.

All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country... and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies hanging in it.

Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
