moments : : with nature

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods,



There is rapture on the lonely shore,



There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more,

From these our interviews, in which I steal

From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel

What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal." ~Lord Byron
