Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, 1874, Vol. 1
Somewhat Similar to this is the sympathy that we feel with na ture. The sense of beauty is at heart a sense of companionship. We recognize in the nature about us a life which is kindred to our own. We rejoice to be wrapped in by this infinite life of nature. The early peeples have loved to speak of the earth as their mother. From this feeling of relationship comes the sympathy which we have with the outward world. Sometimes nature re?ects our mood. She is glad or sorrowful according as we are glad or sorrowful. Sometimes she takes us up into her lofty moods: Our Spirits grew strong with her strength, tender with her tenderness, calm with her calmness. Whatever form the effect may take it Springs from our sense of unity with the life about us.
