Beauty created by Nature is equal in value to,
and to be accorded reverence equal to
that of the beauty of music, art or poetry of man,
and experts are available to testify
as to degrees of natural beauty
just as they are able to testify
to the quality of mortals’ art.

Keep close to Nature's heart, yourself;
and break clear away,
once in a while,
and climb a mountain
or spend a week in the woods.
Wash your spirit clean.
