"In this immense peace, still and full of life, the majesty of visible Nature exalts man's heart to the Invisible.
He rests closer to the bosom of the Great Mother.
The artificial and the useless fall away, like dry bark.
The very enormity of the earth's material forms, crushing him on all sides, brings forth from the depths of his heart the tiny, faint complaint that alone can ascend to Heaven and bring Love down from it.”
