Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only as far as the masters of the world have called in nature to their aid, can they reach the height of magnificence. This is the meaning of their hanging-gardens, villas, garden-houses, islands, parks, and preserves.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!Henry David Thoreau
Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.Henry David Thoreau
