There is 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...
                                          Lord Byron

A quote from page 128 of  Susan Vreeland's novel written about the early twentieth century painter, "Emily Carr" of Beautiful British Columbia, Canada!

" The Interior. It's so deep and quiet  and still. It could heal a person, body and soul. I get a sense of some presence breathing there. God's too big to be squeezed into a stuffy church, but I feel Him there in the spaces between the trees."
