"Woodland Mist"
by Richard Krausview biography"If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity."
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca (5 BC-65 AD) On the God Within Us, Moral Epistles, tr. Gummere, 1918.
