By moon or star-light, thus, from my first dawn

Of childhood, did ye love to intertwine

The passions that build up our human soul

Not with the mean and vulgar works of man,

But with high objects, with eternal things,

With life and Nature, purifying thus

The elements of feeling and of thought

And sanctifying by such discipline

Both pain and fear, until we recognize

A grandeur in the beatings of the heart.

William Wordsworth, The Prelude

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

... a rapture on the lonely shore.
There is a society where none intrudes
By the deep sea, and music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but nature more.

George Gordon Lord Byron, Childe Harold
