Under the eaves

Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson, (1803 – 1882)

The very winds whispered

The very winds whispered in soothing accents,
and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.

~Mary Shelley, (1797 – 1851)

May the stars carry your sadness

May the stars carry your sadness away.

May the flowers fill your heart with beauty.

And may hope forever wipe away your tears.

~Chief Dan George

the face of the fields

I have loved
the feel of the grass under my feet,
and the sound of the running streams by my side.
The hum of the wind in the tree-tops
has always been good music to me,
and the face of the fields has often comforted me
more than the faces of men.

~John Burroughs, (1837 – 1921)
