"I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks."
When I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us.
And then, my friend, when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full.
I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings.
I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss.
So absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence.
At the present moment and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
And the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage.
