Nature is beautiful, and you are in her bosom. That voice of comfort which speaks in the breezes of morning, may visit your mind, that the delightful influences which the green leaves, the blue sky, the moonbeams and clouds of the evening diffuse over the universe, may in their powers of soul-healing, visit your day visions, is my desire and hope.
Sir Humphry Davy (1858). “Fragmentary remains, literary and scientific, of Sir Humphry, Davy, bart., late president of the Royal society, etc: with a sketch of his life and selections from his correspondence”, p.64
