Text Quotes
Do no dishonour to the Earth least you dishonour the spirit of man  (Henry Beston Quotes) The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.  (Henry Beston Quotes) The seas are the hearts blood of the earth. Plucked up and kneaded by the sun and the moon, the tides are systole and diastole of earth’s veins.  (Henry Beston Quotes) Into every empty corner, into all forgotten things and nooks, Nature struggles to pour life  (Henry Beston Quotes) The seas are the heart’s blood of the earth  (Henry Beston Quotes) The adventure of the sun is the greatest natural drama by which we live  (Henry Beston Quotes) Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it  (Henry Beston Quotes) Do no dishonor to the earth lest you dishonor the spirit of man  (Henry Beston Quotes) The animal should not be measured by man. In a world older than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the sense we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear  (Henry Beston Quotes) Our fantastic civilization has fallen out of touch with many aspects of nature, and with none more completely than with night  (Henry Beston Quotes) Wolves are not our brothers; they are not our subordinates, either. They are another nation, caught up just like us in the complex web of time and life  (Henry Beston Quotes) It is only when we are aware of the earth and of the earth as poetry that we truly live  (Henry Beston Quotes) Animals are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time  (Henry Beston Quotes) Poor body, time and the long years were the first tailors to teach you the merciless use of clothes. Though some scold today because you are too much seen, to my mind, you are not seen fully enough or often enough when you are beautiful  (Henry Beston Quotes) A garden is the mirror of a mind. It is a place of life, a mystery of green moving to the pulse of the year, and pressing on and pausing the whole to its own inherent rhythms  (Henry Beston Quotes) Poetry is as necessary to comprehension as science. It is as impossible to live without reverence as it is without joy  (Henry Beston Quotes) The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach  (Henry Beston Quotes) Our civilization has fallen out of touch with night. With lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea; the little villages, the crossroads even, will have none of it. Are modern folk, perhaps, afraid of night? Do they fear that vast serenity, the mystery of infinite space, the austerity of stars?  (Henry Beston Quotes) Nature is a part of our humanity, and without some awareness and experience of that divine mystery man ceases to be man  (Henry Beston Quotes) The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a dull door on nature’s sustaining and poetic spirit  (Henry Beston Quotes) The quality of life, which in the ardour of spring was personal and sexual, becomes social in midsummer  (Henry Beston Quotes) The seas are the hearts blood of the earth. Plucked up and kneaded by the sun and the moon, the tides are systole and diastole of earth’s veins  (Henry Beston Quotes) We of the age of the machines, having delivered ourselves of nocturnal enemies, now have a dislike of night itself. With lights and ever more lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea  (Henry Beston Quotes) Into every empty corner, into all forgotten things and nooks, nature struggles to pour life, pouring life into the dead, life into life itself  (Henry Beston Quotes) The world today is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water welling from the earth, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot. In my world of beach and June these elemental presences lived and had their being  (Henry Beston Quotes) To know only artificial night is as absurd and evil as to know only artificial day  (Henry Beston Quotes) Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas; rest your spirit in her solitary places  (Henry Beston Quotes) The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter woods  (Henry Beston Quotes) Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity  (Henry Beston Quotes)
