The adventure of the sun is the greatest natural drama by which we live.

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

A garden is the mirror of a mind. It is a place of life, a mystery of green moving to the pulse of the year, and pressing on and pausing the whole to its own inherent rhythms.

Nature is a part of our humanity, and without some awareness and experience of that divine mystery man ceases to be man.

Poetry is as necessary to comprehension as science. It is as impossible to live without reverence as it is without joy.

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.

The seas are the heart's blood of the earth.
