Hans Heysen Quotes

• The design of the gum is expressed in the flow of it trunk and limbs, and the design of the European tree mainly in its foliage. In Europe great masses of foliage first attract the eye, here the limbs and trunk, which, on account of their proportion and colour, make themselves felt first, and one thinks of the foliage as a secondary matter.

• There is an infinity of landscape here, caused by the purity of the atmosphere. It has been said that there is a lack of colour. It is not so obvious as the greenness of England, but it is infinitely more varied and more delicate in tone. The landscape is a pinky mauve, a lilac, and the reflection of the sun of the particles of the atmosphere is a warm amber. So I should say our colour scheme is amber and lilac.

• Su principal atractivo para mí ha sido la combinación de poderío y delicadeza: poderoso en la fuerza de sus ramas y delicado en la coloración de su cubierta. Además, tiene cualidades distintivas; de hecho, no conozco ningún otro árbol que sea más decorativo, tanto en lo que se refiere a la fluidez de sus ramas como a los dibujos que hace la corteza en su tronco principal. En todas sus fases, el eucalipto es extremadamente bello.
