"What a thing it is to sit absolutely alone,
in the forest, at night, cherished by this wonderful, unintelligible,
perfectly innocent speech, the most comforting speech in the world,the
talk that rain makes by itself all over the ridges, and
the talk of the watercourses everywhere in the hollows! Nobody started
it; nobody is going to stop it. It will talk as long as it wants, this
rain. As long as it talks I am going to listen."
