"Thoreau - "The patron saint of swamps" because he enjoyed being in them and writing about them said, my temple is the swamp... when I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and the most impenetrable, and to the citizen, most dismal swamp. I enter a swamp as a most sacred place, a sanctum, sanctorum.... I seem to have reached a new world, so wild a place... far away from human society. What's the need for visiting far-off mountains and bogs, if a half-hours walk will carry me into such wildness and novelty. " 

-Henry David Thoreau   Walden and other writings

"She made beauty all around her. When she trod on mud, the mud was beautiful; when she ran in the rain, the rain was silver. When she picked up a toad - she had the most strangest and, I thought, unchanciest love for all manner of brutes - 

the toad became beautiful." 

- C.S. Lewis  Till We Have Faces

"There's a race of men that don't fit in,

A race that can't sit still;

So they break the hearts of kith and kin, 

And they roam the world at will. 

They range the field and rove the flood, 

And they climb the mountain's crest;

Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood, 

And they don't know how to rest." 

- Robert W. Service

"No one would of believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater then man's but yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. " 

- H.G. Wells, War Of The Worlds
