The primeval outdoor scene - its solitude and sense of removal - become a part of our consciousness.

 

"In looking back [on times spent outdoors], there was a growing appreciation of deeper meanings; . . . the primeval scene, its solitude and sense of removal was becoming part of my consciousness . . . Subtle influences were seeping into me as surely as water seeps into thirsty ground, penetrating every fiber of my being, coloring my every reaction."
