• Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
  All soft and still and fair;
  The solemn hour of midnight
  Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,
  
  But most where trees are sending
  Their breezy boughs on high,
  Or stooping low are lending
  A shelter from the sky.
  
  And there in those wild bowers
  A lovely form is laid;
  Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
  Wave gently round her head.

  Emily Bronte

  Summer, Sweet, Flower

• It is all a question of sensitiveness. Brute force and overbearing may make a terrific effect. But in the end, that which lives by delicate sensitiveness. If it were a question of brute force, not a single human baby would survive for a fortnight. It is the grass of the field, most frail of all things, that supports all life all the time. But for the green grass, no empire would rise, no man would eat bread: for grain is grass; and Hercules or Napoleon or Henry Ford would alike be denied existence.
