~ There is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods ~
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less,
But Nature more.
~ excerpt from Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
by Lord Byron

That poem is one of the many reasons I loved discovering Lord Byron while in college. Thank you for bringing him back to me here now along with your amazing photo. 💙👏

You are most welcome. It’s a gorgeous verse, Pam, I agree. So relatable for those who love to enjoy the gift of solitude only nature can provide.

Jennifer, your photos are just wonderful. I feel the stillness of being at both places, the whisper of nature
around.
Thanks for the Lord Byron poem too. It is just beautiful, would it that one day I could tell my love like this.

Miriam, I tried hard to find just the right photos from my collection to fit the verse. I guess I succeeded. 😊
Byron was a master, and an unconventional fellow to boot. And please, don’t undersell yourself – I love your poetry too!

The older I get, the more I realize I may indeed love nature and my dog more than some of my fellow humans:).

Same here, my dear (if you substitute dog for cats! I love dogs too but don’t own any right now). 🙂

Jennifer, a treat of photos by yourself and poem by Byron … the music of the ocean is hypnotic and draws us close nature … away from the distractions of our normal existence. We all need such solitude and recuperation of ‘Nature more’.

You are so right. Nothing like the music of the ocean, which I miss whenever I’m away. Funny, I was going to call this post “Nature More.” 🙂 Thank you!
