"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."

"Under the heat haze the great garden lived like a happy beast, released from the world, far from everything, freed from everything."

( -- Emile Zola, French novelist (1875))
