Every great man or woman is at heart a poet, and all 

 must listen long to the harmonies of Nature before they 

 can make translations from her infinite resources through 

 their own ideals into creations of beauty in words, forms, 

 colors, or sounds. — Luther Hurbank. 



"INTIMATE HARMONY WITH NATURE." 



Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, 

 waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud-turtles, elderberries, wild 

 strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to 

 wade in, water-lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, 

 various animals to pet, hay-fields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, 

 sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets ; and any child 

 who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the 

 best part of his education. 



By being well acquainted with all these they come into 

 most intimate harmony with nature, whose lessons are, of 

 course, natural and wholesome. — Luther Burbank.
