"Many are in some strange way business-bitten with low cares. 'No time,' 'too many duties,' 'not strong enough, rich enough,' etc., are excuses urged [for not getting out into Nature]. In money-getting and mere good-doing, etc., we die and are coffined and hearsed and hidden away in a graveyard, hurried OUT of the world before having got INTO it, got one good look at it."
