“We are so obsessed with the ‘Nature red in tooth and claw’ school of thought that we overlook the fact that nature, very often, wears a broad grin. Elephants gambol, dolphins sport, all the felines indulge in the craziest tricks, out of sheer high spirits. Even crabs, I suspect, must sometimes kick up their heels as they slither over the rocks, and give each other playful nips” (159).

“This fourth spring I went bird’s-nesting, by which I do not mean crashing like a bison through the bushes, wrecking other people’s houses. It was a question of watching, and listening, and, when the time came, of standing and staring. For the miracle of a bird’s nest is almost the greatest miracle of all” (150).

“The scents of autumn are more exciting too; bitter-sweet and nostalgic and elusive. The mosses under the copper beech have a fragrance more haunting than any April blossom; and the last few roses of summer, which are almost scentless when you pick them out-of-doors…will fill a whole room with perfume when you bring them into the warmth of the house” (121).
