a few lines from Renascence (by Edna St. Vincent Millay)
The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky --
No higher than the soul is high.

a few lines from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (by Lord Byron)
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, [with] music in its roar.
I love not man the less, but nature more ....

a few lines from Walden (by Henry David Thoreau)
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance than I should have been by any epaulette I could have worn.
