"Left to herself, nature is always more or……" — Henry David Thoreau

"Left to herself, nature is always more or less civilized, and delights in a certain refinement; but where the axe has encroached upon the edge of the forest, the dead and unsightly limbs of the pine, which she had concealed with green banks of verdure, are exposed to sight."

Henry David Thoreau
