• No debes decir que esto no puede ser, o que eso es contrario a la naturaleza. No sabéis lo que es la Naturaleza, ni lo que puede hacer; y nadie lo sabe; ni siquiera Sir Roderick Murchison, ni el profesor Huxley, ni el señor Darwin, ni el profesor Faraday, ni el señor Grove, ni ningún otro de los grandes hombres a quienes se enseña a respetar a los buenos muchachos. Son hombres muy sabios, y debéis escuchar respetuosamente todo lo que digan; pero aunque dijeran, cosa que estoy seguro que nunca dirían: "Eso no puede existir. Eso es contrario a la naturaleza', debes esperar un poco y ver; porque tal vez incluso ellos puedan estar equivocados.

• But that mimosa grove-the haze of stars, the tingle, the flame, the honey-dew, and the ache remained with me, and that little girl with her seaside limbs and ardent tongue haunted me ever since-until at last, twenty-four years later, I broke her spell by incarnating her in another.

• Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and the trees in public parks. To say nothing of their value as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all the gardens and parks of towns.

• On my cornice linger the ripe black grapes ungathered;
  Children fill the groves with the echoes of their glee,
  Gathering tawny chestnuts, and shouting when beside them
  Drops the heavy fruit of the tall black-walnut tree.

• Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove, Lone, lean, and hunted by his brother's hate, Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate As that poor wretch who cannot, cannot love: He bears a load which nothing can remove, A killing, withering weight.

• God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice!
  Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds!
  And they too have a voice, you piles of snow,
  And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!

• Las arboledas y matorrales de árboles más pequeños están llenos de enredaderas perennes en flor. Estas enredaderas no están dispuestas en grupos separados ni en delicadas guirnaldas, sino formando pesados montículos. Me siento como en tierra extraña. No conozco casi ninguna de las plantas, pero sí pocos pájaros, y soy incapaz de ver el país por los solemnes, oscuros y misteriosos bosques de cipreses que lo cubren todo.

• No es de extrañar que las colinas y arboledas fueran los primeros templos de Dios, y cuanto más se talan y tallan en catedrales e iglesias, más lejano y tenue parece el Señor mismo.

• Tengo que tener cuidado porque me han dado buenos consejos: "No te vendas demasiado barato". Tengo que no estar demasiado disponible para todo lo que venga. Siempre he complacido a la gente y ahora estoy subiendo la apuesta en términos de precio para poder ser más selectiva. Me gustó mucho trabajar en tres temas del álbum Station Wagon de Sara Groves [centrado en la paternidad]. Me encanta tocar en esas canciones y me encanta el corazón de ese álbum.

• Cuando caminamos, vamos naturalmente a los campos y a los bosques: ¿qué sería de nosotros, si camináramos sólo en un jardín o en un centro comercial? Incluso algunas sectas de filósofos han sentido la necesidad de importarse los bosques, puesto que ellos no iban a los bosques. Plantaron arboledas y paseos de Plantanes, donde tomaban subdiales ambulationes en pórticos abiertos al aire. Por supuesto, de nada sirve dirigir nuestros pasos al bosque, si ellos no nos llevan hasta allí.

• Por destino, no por elección, la frugal naturaleza dio un olor al hyson y al alhelí, un sonido a los pinares y a las cascadas, un aspecto al desierto y al lago. Fue su severa necesidad: todas las cosas están hechas de un solo patrón; pájaro, bestia y flor, canción, imagen, forma, espacio, pensamiento y carácter nos engañan, pareciendo ser muchas cosas, y no son más que una.

• Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned lark,--open the door, and it is off forever. The bird that roams through the sky and the groves unrestrained knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself; but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture.

  Thomas Chandler Haliburton

• Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness. The symbol of art is seen again in the magic flute of the Great God Pan which makes the young goats frisk at the edge of the grove. All modern art begins to appear comprehensible and in a way great when it is interpreted as an attempt to instill youthfulness into an ancient world.

• Sure thou did'st nourish once! and many springs, Many bright mornings, much dew, many showers, Passed o'er thy head; many light hearts and wings, Which now are dead, lodg'd in thy living bowers. And still a new succession sings and flies; Fresh groves grow up, and their green branches shoot Towards the old and still-enduring skies; While the low violet thrives at their root.

• When Spring is old, and dewy windsBlow from the south, with odors sweet,I see my love, in shadowy groves,Speed down dark aisles on shining feet.

• Cuando un poeta menciona la primavera, sabemos que los céfiros están a punto de susurrar, que las arboledas van a recobrar su verdor, que los pardillos van a gorjear sus notas de amor, y que los rebaños y manadas van a corretear por los valles pintados de flores: sin embargo, ¿quién hay tan insensible a las bellezas de la naturaleza, tan poco encantado con la renovación del mundo, que no sienta su corazón conmovido ante la mención de la primavera?

• Philosophy had instructed Julian to compare the advantages of action and retirement; but the elevation of his birth and the accidents of his life never allowed him the freedom of choice. He might perhaps sincerely have preferred the groves of the Academy and the society of Athens; but he was constrained, at first by the will, and afterwards by the injustice of Constantius, to expose his person and fame to the dangers of Imperial greatness; and to make himself accountable to the world and to posterity for the happiness of millions.
