10-The Beauty of Nature（在线收听）

Nature satisfies by its loveliness,and without any mixture of

corporeal benefit.I see the spectacle of morning from the hilltop

over against my house,from daybreak to sunrise,with emotions which an

angel might share.The long slender bars of cloud float like fishes in

the sea of crimson light.From the earth,as a shore, I look out into

that silent sea.I seem to partake its rapid transformations;the

active enchantment reaches my dust, and I dilate and conspire with

the morning wind. How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap

elements!Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of

emperors ridiculous.Te dawn is my Assyria;the sunset and moonrise my

paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie;broad noon shall be my

England of the senses and the understanding;the night shall be my

Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.
