Nature is a book of many pages and each page tells a fascinating story to him who learns her language. Our fertile valleys and craggy mountains recite an epic poem of geologic conflicts. The starry sky reveal gigantic suns and space and time without end.

The utmost movements that he allows are a slight quivering of her muscular integuments.

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.
