He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.

Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.”

“The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.”
