We are against a European superstate."
"These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world."
"Of Nature itself upon the soul; the sunrise, the haze of autumn, the winter starlight seem interlocutors; the prevailing sense is that of an exposition in poetry; a high discourse, the voice of the speaker seems to breathe as much from the landscape as from his own breast; it is Nature communing with the seer."
