Happy the man who has escaped from the town! Every whispering of the tree, every murmuring of the stream, every sparkling pebble, preaches to him virtue and wisdom.
Every shady grove is to him a holy temple, where his God waves nearer to him; every green sod an altar, where he kneels before the Lofty One.

— Ludwig Christoph Heinrich Hölty Beautiful Thoughts from German and Spanish Authors (1880)
