"I owe much to my excursions to Nature. They have helped to clothe me with health, if not humility; they have helped sharpen and attune all my senses; they have kept my eyes in such good trim that they have not failed me for one moment during all the seventy-five years I have had them; they have made my sense of smell so keen that I have much pleasure in the wild, open-air perfumes, especially in the spring – the delicate breath of blossoming elms and maples and willows, the breath of the woods, of the pasture, of the shore."
