Plato
Those scenes of solitude from which the hand of nature have never been lifted, affect the mind with a more deep-toned emotion than aught which the hand of man has touched. Amid them the consequent associations are of God the Creator, they are His undefiled works; and the mind is cast into contemplation of eternal things.
Thomas Cole

And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
