EXtinCTioN Is  FoREvER!


Two ducks gazing at each other. What more is there to say?

A bird flying in the sunset. How gorgeous!

A flying dove. Who could resist its beauty? Not me, could you?


Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.
-NEW TESTAMENT, John, XX, 29

Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.
-SOCRATES, Plato, Theoetetus


There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar;
I love not Man the less, but nature more,
From these our interviews.
-BYRON, Childe Harold, IV

The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar,
From the sphere of our sorrow.

-SHELLEY, One Word Is Too Often Profound





I do not count the hours I spend
In wandering by the sea;
The forest is my loyal friend,
Like God it useth me.

-EMERSON, Waldeinsamkeit




The south wind searches for the flowers whose fragrance
late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood and by the stream
no more.

-WILLIAM C. BRYANT, The Death of the Flowers





No light, but rather darkness visible.
-MILTON, Paradise Lost, I




Flowers, flowers, everywhere...and moths... and beautiful butterflies, too.






What is lovely never dies,
But passes into other loveliness.
-THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH, A Shadow of the Night




The beauty of things was born before eyes and
sufficient to itself; the heart-breaking beauty.
Will remain when there is no heart to break for it.
-ROBINSON JEFFERS,Credo



"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"--that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
-KEATS, Ode on a Grecian Urn




 I slept and dreamed that life was beauty.
I woke--and found that life was duty;
Was my dream, then, a shadowy lie?
Toil on, sad heart, courageously,
And thou shalt find thy dream shall be
A noonday light and truth to thee.
-ELLEN STURGIS HOOPER, Beauty and Duty




A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness.
-KEATS, Endymion






I swear I think now that everything without exception
has an eternal soul!
The trees have, rooted in the ground! the weeds of the
sea have! the animals!
-WALT WHITMAN, To Think of Time





The meanest floweret of the vale,
The simplest note that swells the gale,
The common sun, the air, the skies,
To him, are opening Paradise.
-GRAY, On the Pleasures Arising From Vicissitude


To see the world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
-BLAKE, Augeries of Innocence





To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language;
-WILLIAM C. BRYANT, Thanatopsis
