If Nature is against us, we shall fight Nature and make it obey.

Men argue, nature acts.

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.

Nature loves simplicity.

Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.

I long for scenes, where man hath never trod, A place where woman never smiled or wept- There to abide with my Creator, God, And Sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling, and untroubled where I lie, The grass below-above the vaulted sky.

It has been said repeatedly that one can never, try as he will, get around to the front of the universe. Man is destined to see only its far side, to realize nature only in retreat.

The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.

Nature goes her own way, and all that to us seems an exception is really according to order.
