Unwinds a thread of his devising:

A thin, premeditated rig

To use in rising

And all the journey down through space,

In cool descent, and loyal-hearted,

He builds a ladder to the place

From which he started

This I, gone forth, as spiders do,

In spider’s web a truth discerning,

Attach one silken stand to you

For my returning

‘Natural History’ E.B. White

I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:

It vexes me to choose another guide:

Where the gray flocks in ferny glens are feeding;

Where the wild wind blows on the mountain side.

What have those lonely mountains worth revealing?

More glory and more grief than I can tell:

The earth that wakes one human heart to feeling

Can centre both the worlds of Heaven and Hell.

Stanzas, Emily Brontë

As fall comes and our place on the earth tilts away from the sun. The wind grows cooler.

And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.”

Walt Whitman’s ‘Leaves of Grass’ celebrates the beauty of nature but doesn’t let us forget we are nature.
