Humanity is nature becoming conscious of herself.

Let the schoolboy fresh from his prison, skeptical and world-weary, learn to follow the edges of brooks; let him contemplate the eddies, part the leaves, or lift the stones to see the water spring forth from small sources, and soon he will have become once again simple of heart, joyful, and open.
