Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.
Every appearance in nature corresponds to some
state of the mind, and that state of the mind can only
be described by presenting that natural appearance as its picture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Yesterday afternoon, I stirred the earth about my shrubs and trees and quarrelled with the piper-grass, and now I have slept, and no longer am morose nor feel twitchings in the muscles of my face when a visitor is by." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
