I don't know what Nature is: I sing it. I live on top of the world, and that is my definition.

If sometimes I say that flowers smile
And if I should say that rivers sing,
It's not because I think there are smiles in flowers
And songs in the rivers'flowing...
It's so I can help misguided people
Feel the truly real existence of flowers and rivers.

since I write for the nature to read me,
I sometimes stoop
To the stupidity of their senses...
It isn't right, but I excuse myself,
Because I've only taken on this odious role,
An interpreter of nature.
Because there are people who don't grasp its language,
Which is no language at all.
