Rest, Sir J. Lubbock


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.

- Sir J. Lubbock [The Use of Life (1894), ch. IV: Recreation]

"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like...?"
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine..."

Spring, David Assael


Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal.

- David Assael

Beauty, Ralph Waldo Emerson


If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.
