The world's work must be done, and only a small part of it 

 can be dune in the woods and fields. The merchants may not all 

 turn ploughmen and woodchoppers. Nor is it necessary. What 

 we need to do, and are learning to do, is to go to nature for our 

 rest and health and recreation. 



Nature study is the out-of-door side of natural history, the 

 unmeasured, imprinted side of poetry. It is joy in breathing the 

 air of the fields; joy in seeing, hearing, living the life of the 

 fields; joy in knowing and loving all that lives with you in your 

 out-of-doors. — Dallas Lore Sharp.
