La nature a un charme inexprimable, une force douce et pénétrante qui parle à l’âme sans l’effrayer. Les champs, les bois, la lumière du matin et celle du soir, tout cela est plus grand et plus beau que les œuvres des hommes. Et pourtant, ce n'est pas dans leur grandeur seulement que réside ce charme, mais dans la simplicité qui apaise et console, comme si la terre elle-même nous murmurait des secrets d’éternité.

Nature has an inexpressible charm, a gentle and penetrating force that speaks to the soul without frightening it. The fields, the woods, the morning light and the evening light, all of this is greater and more beautiful than the works of man. And yet, it is not only in their grandeur that this charm resides, but in the simplicity that soothes and consoles, as if the earth itself were whispering secrets of eternity to us.
