Freemind Pictures ©To see several trees together in one place, is a delight. For people living in a city where the only trees seen are implanted, potted in perfect symmetry and to top it all - all the same size. Nature fine tuned with a little cosmetic surgery indeed! But nature breaks the rules and lets its branches grow in all directions, shed its leaves at will constantly reminding, nature can be shaped but never conquered.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
~ William Blake, 1799, The Letters
