"The man to solitude accustom'd long, Perceives in……" — William Cowper

"The man to solitude accustom'd long, Perceives in everything that lives a tongue; Not animals alone, but shrubs and trees Have speech for him, and understood with ease, After long drought when rains abundant fall, He hears the herbs and flowers rejoicing all."

William Cowper
