Poetry is as necessary to comprehension as science. It is as impossible to live without reverence as it is without joy.
Henry BestonOur civilization has fallen out of touch with night. With lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea; the little villages, the crossroads even, will have none of it. Are modern folk, perhaps, afraid of night? Do they fear that vast serenity, the mystery of infinite space, the austerity of stars?
Henry BestonIt is only when we are aware of the earth and of the earth as poetry that we truly live.
