“Nobody was awake so early and I had all the great hill to myself, and it was so beautiful that I could have thrown myself down and kissed the earth itself. Oh, sweet & good & loving Mother Nature! I choose you for my own. I will be your little lady-love. I will hunt you wherever you hide, and you shall comfort me when I am sad, and laugh with me when I am merry, and take me by the hand and lead me onward and upward till the image of the heavenly forceth out that of the earthly from my whole heart and soul.”
