Weed -- a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues it possesses

The prayer of the farmer kneeling in his field to weed it, the prayer of the rower kneeling with the stroke of his oar, are true prayers heard throughout nature.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
