I always think of nature as a great spectacle, somewhat resembling the opera.

Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?

A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body.

Nature’s rules have no exceptions.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.

Animals hear about death for the first time when they die.
