Thou who wouldst see the lovely and the wild Mingled in harmony on Nature's face, Ascend our rocky mountains. Let thy foot Fail not with weariness, for on their tops The beauty and the majesty of earth, Spread wide beneath, shall make thee to forget The steep and toilsome way. - William Cullen Bryant This is grand! 'tis solemn! 'tis an education of itself to look upon! - James Fenimore Cooper There is a property in the horizon which no man has, but he whose eyes can integrate all the parts,--that is, the poet. - Ralph Waldo Emerson The mind is never more highly gratified than in contemplating a natural landscape. - Henry Home, Lord Kames Every antique farm-house and moss-grown cottage is a picture. - Washington Irving Landscapes are Nature's pictures. - M.E. Lee Oh, what a glory doth this world put on for him who, with a fervent heart, goes forth under the bright, and glorious sky! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow There, interspersed in lawns and opening glades, thin trees arise, that shun each other's shade. - Alexander Pope However, I think a plain space near the eye gives it a kind of liberty it loves; and then the picture, whether you choose the grand or beautiful, should be held up at its proper distance. Variety is the principal ingredient in beauty; and simplicity is essential to grandeur. - William Shenstone Heavens! what a goodly prospect spreads around, Of hills, and dales, and woods, and lawns, and spires, And glittering towns, and gilded streams, till all The stretching landscape into smoke decays. - James Thomson (1)
