The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a dull door on nature's sustaining and poetic spirit.

It is only when we are aware of the earth and of the earth as poetry that we truly live.

We need another and a wiser and a perhaps more mystical concept of animals.

As well expect Nature to answer your human values as to come into your house and sit in a chair.

The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter woods.

The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a dull door on nature's sustaining and poetic spirit.

Do no dishonor to the earth lest you dishonor the spirit of man.
